The Best Learning App!

edX app is the best learning app in my own experience and I can’t emphasize enough how much it is useful for people who love to learn and enhance their knowledge. Download it and you will thank me and urself later! Thanks

Glitchy

EDX is one of two MOOCs that I use most, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn online. However, the app is terrible. It lacks features such as removing a course from the dashboard. The search feature could also be greatly improved. I like that courses can be saved, but there is no tab to see saved courses. Also, when I take quizzes within the app, the app keeps glitching and reloading the quiz question over and over again. Even closing and reopening the app doesn’t help. Videos freeze up. The app crashes. This app needs a ton of improvement. As for the EDX platform itself, it is good overall, but there is room for improvement there as well. For instance, there shouldn’t be a fee for people to be able submit assignments if the course is outdated, discussion forums are deserted, or there is no instructor/staff support. Courses severely lacking in those areas should either be free or removed from the platform.

The edX app is very helpful and makes it very easy to enroll into each of the courses.

The courses on the app are easy to enroll into and really go into depths of the topic and give information on the different perspectives. They also give a lot of information so you can even use them to study for a project. The app has so many courses, programs, and degrees with so many different unique topics!

Amazing app!

I have learned so much already from this app! I pick a course in each subject and learn as much as I can. I would recommend this app to everyone I know who just wants to learn. This is way better than scrolling on social media all day. You actually learn new knowledge without the costs of going to school. These courses are from highly acknowledged schools which make it a lot more interesting.

Small business start up

This amazing you all have something like these for all walks of life. Taking advantage of these one by one and has sparked a light in me to live my dream. Here in America great land and love but we have fallen to being selfish and think of ourselves. Professionals become like a Pandora’s box to never be open again until they reach the Almighty. Teaching your brother in to make goals, never let them fall, help them in time of need, give them a skill to lift their own business up and then opening the doors for your mate to make business of their own is a fairytale. That’s what I see if missing on making America great again. Feeling for your neighbor is key. Thank you for this opportunity and I’m flying through the course and taking notes bc believe you me I’m taking advantage and making a whole new world to help out our people!

Great App

I love how easy it is to use, if you’re a self learner and like teaching yourself new things I highly recommend this app. There are a wide variety of course materials to choose from, it almost feels like being in school without having to sit in the classroom and you can go at your own pace! I absolutely love it! You can also choose to have your work grades too but you’ll have to get the upgrade but nonetheless it’s a great app.

Great app, though not free of clunk

This organization had brought great courses to the web. Though not always the top recording abilities, teachers have shared their courses to many. The app is very simple in ui though sometimes clunky and strange. It appears to do everything it needs to do. To be able to learn on the go is amazing. I like that it has a hot key to pick up where you left off, though like many online courses doesn’t always know exactly where you really left off. Like say I didn’t complete the reading or even watch a video, it might just drop you where it thinks you’d start next time. Not a large issue if you are regularly getting to your courses. I had to log out and log back in to get my courses, which might have been a password issue.

Great content, decent app

App works ok, but annoying that you can’t do split screen on an iPad as I like to take notes on another app as I work. This pretty much prevents me using the app and doing courses I’m interested in, and causes me to favour apps like Coursera where you can do split screen - all because of a technicality.
Content is great and app seems to work pretty well on its own nonetheless. UI is a little basic. No progress bar. Slow compared to similar apps I’ve used. But ok. Probably a 4 star, maybe 5, if there was split screen. Functional app nonetheless - not so bad that I just have to use desktop version, like with some apps.

Language on edX

Good but could be better

My edX app stopped working | but was fixed

Hi guys,

For some reason my profile just won’t load in the app anymore. It might be a bug. Maybe you’re changing something and this is affecting user profiles. But this is seriously going to impair my ability to progress in my course if this is not fixed immediately. I really like the app and would be happy to flip to 5 stars. Just please fix this urgently.

I fixed it !! You just have to log out then back in again! And that was very helpfully detailed in the email response to the support ticket. Thanks!
