### 1/5 — Needs updating

*2020-01-10, version 1.1*

Videos quit immediately on iPhone 11 Pro.

### 1/5 — Observations

*2019-12-10, version 1.1*

On iOS 13 
1. Displays upside down and won’t respond to screen rotation. 
2. If running a course video and leave to open a document, on returning to video it starts from the beginning despite putting the video into pause. Means you can’t pause and take notes or look up other references or do additional research or refer back to parts of the videos. 
It’s a shame as it could have been a useful tool. The way it is at present unfortunately is an impediment to learning rather than an aid. 
Also a shame that the developer link takes you to the RES website where there isn’t a link for app matters.

### 2/5 — Could be great

*2019-05-25, version 1.1*

This instructor is very knowledgeable but the videos crash a few minutes in. 
I can’t get through a single tutorial.

### 2/5 — Sound

*2019-03-23*

I have tried this on two devices and there is now sound when watching the videos.

### 1/5 — ?

*2018-01-31, version 1.1*

I am afraid, a complete waste of time. The size of the download should have been a dead giveaway.

### 1/5 — Tutorials do not work

*2018-01-05, version 1.1*

When clicking on any category of tutorial (Practical or theory) nothing happens and a blank screen shows. I’m on an iPhone X with IOS 11.2.5

It’s a shame as I’ve decided I want to be Licenced by dec 31.
