A Cloud Guru Software

First, I will review A Cloud Guru as an educational service. I am a big fan of a cloud guru to start with. The content is top-notch, well presented, and constantly updated. Content creators obviously put tons of resources into keeping the courses current which is very important for a sector like cloud computing, with its rapidly emerging services and changes up features/functionality. As for the app, it has a very robust feature set with a modern intuitive and predictable UI. Content is available to download for offline use which is a big plus. My only criticism is the inability to search and sign up for new courses directly in the app. You have to do that on the website. I assume this is an Apple-imposed restriction due to policies regarding access to subscription based content purchased outside of the App Store or in-app transactions.

I’ve been using the app over 11 weeks and it’s been great. I can download the video to my iPhone to watch in areas where I don’t have service. I’ve been studying for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Exam and a cloud guru has great videos and memorable tips to retain information. One feature I noticed is that the progress from watching a downloaded app isn’t updated to reflect on the web platform so even though I have hours of watched videos I need to play them on my PC browser for the course completion % to reflect this. Overall, great work devs for this app!

Update 5: While I did cancel my subscription the app has gotten so much better recently. Audio comes through phone like Netflix, doesn't ask me to sign in every time I use it. Video downloads work much better. Really good job on improving the app. Couldn't be happier. Update 4: 3 to 1 star. Videos won't play. I'm cancelling my subscription. This is ridiculous. Update 3: from 1 star to 3. uninstalled and installed again and it seems to work. Pushing the"download all" button broke it again. Then had to uninstall and reinstall again. If you avoid the download all button is a good app. Update 2: From 2 to 1 star. Won't get past the initial loading screen. Update: From 4 to 2 stars. it's slow AF to load anything. I'm convinced the download video portion is fake because of how slow everything is to load. Love the app. Will give five stars when the audio comes through the iPhone music player like Netflix or Udemy so I can listen when phone is locked.
