Udemy Online Video Courses Software

The offline viewing doesn’t download lectures efficiently. When queueing the videos to download and selecting multiple courses to download, it tries to download everything in parallel and clogs up the internet stream slowing download speed to a stop which would be faster if videos downloaded one by one. Also it says courses are finished downloading in downloaded courses but its really not completely downloaded. It doesn’t even show a percentage of how much of the course is downloaded. I think offline downloading if made efficiently could help udemy’s website from having too many requests at once from people rewatching already streamed videos. It would be helpful if a stream could be downloaded while watching to save time. Other than offline problems the lectures, tests, and videos work really well on the app. I just hope there is an update to fix the download course option.

While I love the service and have purchased several helpful courses on the platform, I have found it increasingly hard to stomach using the service for it’s poor interface on iPad Pro. The app WILL show content, and it plays the video almost perfectly. The problem is the buttons for 15-second skipping do not work, and the entire interface is lowered far lower than what I believe was intended. This makes the video player feel dated and unfocused, which hurts the experience a good bit. I tend to use this app when working on courses, as my desktop screen is used for the applications I’m learning. So far, I love the app and it’s delivery of the service. It just desperately needs an input revamp. Fixing those 15-second skip buttons, raising the input area and adding two finger pinch-controls for full screen mode would warrant a 5 star review from me! Thanks!

- When you go my courses tab and browse one of your purchased courses in mobile app, there is no link to go to the author profile for looking his/her other courses. You basically need to search instructor name in search section to find his/her other courses. Waste of time. This problem can be solved very easy. In purchased courses, a simple button/link which goes instructor profile can be put in the “more” section. Then I can easily look my instructors other courses and enroll them if I like it. - When you look for a new course, you can see the curriculum in extendable way. Tree structure in other words. When you click the “+” sign, you can see the content of the section. This is perfect. If there is a lot of section, it says after showing some section, “There is 19 more section”. 19 is trivial, this number depends on the course. Anyway, when you click this link to see whole section, there is no tree view any more. No “+” sign to extend section content. Which means there is a very big table of contents page. You have to scroll down and up to see everything. It is waste of time. You can implement a tree view after I click to see whole section. Then If I curious about content of the one section, I can click the “+” sign and see the content. You also can add “extend/collapse all section” option. This is more user friendly. Thanks!
