Thinkific Reviews

by Alan Alicante

If you are a course creator, you are not going to be happy if you pay for the unbranded version of this app! They are now putting a pop up on your courses. So whenever anybody logs into your domain they will get a this app pop up directing them to Thinkific Store! I dont know what bonehead in the this app marketing department thought this was a brilliant idea? I am not happy that I pay for unbranding only to have them brand themselves over my domain. You may want to think about choosing a different platform for your online courses.

After downloading, entering my company name and continues to close out which doesn’t allow access. In the beginning it works but now it doesn’t, big disadvantage for me and my students.

Thinkific is easy to navigate however it glitches horribly. Videos buffer continuously whether on great wifi or 5G it just does not work ñwithout several buffers

Completely unusable. Course doesn’t load, freezes up, crashes, no UI when video is playing, no offline mode.

by Drewrecio

Load speed is slow and I hate the swipe function. I go to hot pause and accidentally swipe to the next video lesson and lose my place. And it takes so long to reload the video. I’d rather use the website from the actual creator.

Whenever I click the full screen button, it immediately goes back to the smaller picture. Makes it extremely difficult to see what’s happening when videos have small text

I open Thinkific and it freezes, the screen is cream colors and no longer moves. We are several people who are going through the same thing. Thinkific already has time like this. There is some way to update it or the whole group is going to leave and we will look for another option. Thank you.

Not sure what the point of Thinkific is or how it benefits me as a user? I have an account with this app for several classes but I can’t access any of them. I have to find the business but I also have to hope the business enabled their mobile app function??

As a user, Thinkific is unusable for the average person. I guess I can still only access my classes on the desktop.

I just started using Thinkific on an iPad for a short term course. Two problems popped up immediately upon 5 minutes of usage. First, it is not possible to highlight or write on a pdf document. The only thing I can do is to read the pdf. It is not possible to download or export the document so I cannot annotate at all. Given that Thinkific is intended to facilitate learning, the lack of features makes it very poor and frustrating when it comes to processing any information. Two, the this app app keeps crashing when I try to switch to another app to take notes. Every time I switch to the note taking app, I have to reopen this app, which is very annoying and inconvenient. Thinkific needs a lot of work to actually help people of various learning styles and preferences. The visuals seemed appealing at first, but turned out to be an issue of style over substance.

Thinkific is embarrassing. It doesn’t open half the time.

Kajabi & Skool both allow users to link all of their courses from various content providers. this app is the only one that doesn’t even let me find a single one…I’ve bought courses from 4 different instructors and can’t find any from Thinkific

Takes forever to load great and easy to navigate but it’s no use if things don’t load

Can’t find the course using different way. When I finally find the course, I am not able to login with correct username and password. So frustrating

by Why Do I Need A Stupid Nickname? Lol

Download feature doesn’t work. The lesson discussion area isn’t included in Thinkific version. The rest of the layout was decent but being able to view the course on the go is the entire point of using an app instead of the browser.

Always a problem with email and password. App doesn’t work with the computer. Needs A Lot of work

Kees crashing, lagging, refuses to go full screen.

Thinkific was working fine a few weeks ago, but when I open my course now I get a gray screen and can’t access anything iPhone 8. IOS 16.7.5

Videos freeze way too many times. I have Thinkific on my iphone and ipad and it’s the same issue across both devices. Thinkific crashes and I can’t scroll back on videos unless I hit the 10s rewind which takes too long to get to the beginning of a class.

Thinkific is easy to navigate and use. However, this isn’t a one stop shop. Ihave several creators that use this website. There is no way to easily find the creators courses I need. I can’t easily upload my profile for each creator. Teachable lists all the courses I have with teachable on one screen and I can access all the content there. A feature like this that can merge several courses across different creators would be great.

It would be great if the Apple AirPod pros would work with Thinkific

by Adele JG

Thinkific looks great and is easy to navigate, but the page loading is so slow that I’d rather use my courses on desktop, which is not always convenient. It’s so slow it don’t even believe the videos will load sometimes.

by Dani.gelynn

I’m unable to scroll through videos, I have to use the 10 second fast forward or rewind instead, and Thinkific freezes half the time when I do fast forward/rewind. It is also inconsistent with the “complete” option at the end of each section of a lesson, so it is not accurately tracking my progress of the course.

So glad this is available. Communities are a nice addition, but kissing core features.
Member directory, and Direct messaging are a must in community.

I have been eagerly waiting for this!

I was able to add my company to Thinkific under “Settings” in my account.

I love how simple Thinkific is since our students are almost always do not know English well.

Thank you this app Team for, what I’m sure, was a lot of work on your end to build this.

Looking forward to:
- Easy to add app links for students so they don’t have to search for our business (InterSign University) in English.
- Ability to take quizzes in Thinkific

Thank you for the development of Thinkific . It is amazing. It really change the experience of learning.

Hope you can add new functionality soon. The visibility for events, notifications for live sessions, perhaps a calendar would be great.

Thank you!
