This app is great, and the courses are excellent, but I do experience an issue where even though I've clicked and downloaded some of the video lectures, when I'm out and lose internet access, the video stops playing. usually the whole point of downloading a video in an app is so that you can view it while you're offline. I just checked my data usage by this app and it seems to confirm the fact that it's still using my cellular connection to stream the video after I've downloaded it.

All sorts of issues - double videos playing at once, won't keep playing when I close the screen to put it in my pocket. Trouble downloading videos to play offline. I'm sure they are busy working on these things, so I'll update my review as it sorts out... but for now. Content is GREAT, app sucks. keeps crashing. 😬

The best online university out there, right now. Period. It may be new and as such not have Las Vegas repertoire as other online universities, but it's interface, it's community, it's quality, and practicality far compensates for it. it is extremely cheap for the quality of the education that it contains, as well. We live in truly miraculous times.
