Powerful content

I am focusing on content and not minor glitches.
I bought this service to learn cloud, especially AWS. What really matters to me is engaging training that respect my time. If youโ€™re like me, you have limited time and juggle multiple priorities.
Sure there are some glitches, program abruptly stopped responding and stopped for no apparent reasons. But to me these inconveniences are minor trade offs for up-to-date information and focus on your goal. I also thoroughly enjoyed starter course AWS Certification Exam Preparation guide.
Best investment I made all year.

Hi @AndyfmHouston thank you for the feedback! I will be passing this along to the content team as they do work very hard to keep everything relevant and enjoyable. We do have glitches from time to time, feel free to send those our way as well! We are working to constantly improve and feedback helps. Stay on the lookout for app updates as we put small updates out frequently. Happy learning and keep being awesome! - Kristal, Support Manager

Really improved

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.

Great content & Excellent UI/UX

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.

Hi @Futurezero thank you for the detailed feedback! We do work extremely hard to keep content fun and relevant. The other great news is that being able to browse and start a course from the app is coming very soon! Be on the lookout for app updates and let us know what you think. Happy learning! - Kristal, Support Manager

5-Rock Stars

This app is awesome. It what makes it awesome is the team. I got a chance to meet members of the team from multiple countries and sections of the company. They included instructors, founders, sales, customer support, products and others. Throughout all, the same resonated. They are all genuinely interested in customers and their needs. The only thing that would have topped it is getting a T Shirt. Ha! It was great! Thanks Gurus. Keep it up!

more stable than before

the app is more stable than before and
now properly works offline.
the new menu seems a bit unintuitive though where you are watching the course and then want to switch into main menu and back .
more fiddly with pull down feature. previous version felt better.
also after app update โ€œcontinue watchingโ€ function doesnt know where to start

HI @Javahitman Thank you for the honest and detailed feedback. We are constantly working to improve and it sounds like you've experienced that first hand. Thank you for sticking with us as we grow and I'll pass along your feedback to our development team! - Kristal, Support Manager

Video keeps on loading

Intermittently video hangs on the loading part. Works perfect when using a browser but intermittent on the mobile app. Hence the 4 star rating.

Hi @poorghz! Thank you for the honest feedback. It looks like you may be on the previous version of the mobile app. If you haven't done so, I recommend updating to 1.4.14. We are constantly trying to improve your learning experience! If it continues and you'd like to see if we can help trouble shoot please feel free to drop us a line through https://help.acloud.guru/hc/en-us. - Kristal, Support Manager

Works well for me!

The app seems a lot more responsive then watching the training material on my mobile within Google Chrome.

Loving the content!

Iโ€™m relatively new to Cloud, and need to learn the concepts of AWS and Azure fast for work... A Cloud Guru really helps with this. The content is great and pitched at a level even non-tech people can understand.

The app just gives you the flexibility to take the course content on the go, so wherever you are, you can spend 20 minute of your day learning something new.

Thanks!

@alphavictor Thank you for the awesome feedback! We strive to continue teaching in the "explain it like I'm 5" approach so anyone can start learning Cloud. Enjoy your learning on the go while you continue your Cloud journey, and please feel free to Tweet us if/when you sit for your Azure exam! - Kristal, Support Manager

Great content

The training is very good and has helped me pass both associate and pro exams. There are occasional glitches with the app especially when viewing off-line but most of the time itโ€™s great. I especially like the ability to watch back videos at higher speed as I find some of the presenters talk a little slow for my taste.

App Crashes After Update

Iโ€™ve just updated to the latest version (Version 1.4.2) and as soon as I open the app, the app crashes.
Please can you guys fix this.
