Would love to see this fixed since the flash cards add so much to the learning experience of the videos, which can be dense! ### 3/5 — videos not playing *2026-07-27, version 1.71* The video button doesn’t work and you can’t play them you have to go to YouTube and watch them, but the app is good for flash cards and studying it’s a decent app. ### 2/5 — Videos not playing *2026-07-06, version 1.71* The flash cards are neat but the videos will not play and that is annoying considering that’s basically the main feature. ### 2/5 — Great app and love the videos, but *2026-06-21, version 1.71* It’s a great app and I love their videos but whenever I try to watch a video, I press the watch button and nothing happens. It doesn’t work and it’s very frustrating. Very disappointed. ### 3/5 — Not functional *2026-06-13, version 1.71* They seem to have removed all the decks but five and the search functionality is no longer working. ### 4/5 — Study app review *2026-06-05, version 1.71* Great for studying a variety of science topics but I wish they made it compatible for computers ### 3/5 — App is broken, but I love it! *2026-05-27, version 1.71* Videos don’t play and are labeled as “watched” after play button is pressed. Please fix. ### 3/5 — Videos don't play *2026-04-12, version 1.71* No video comes up when I press Watch. ### 4/5 — Can’t watch the videos. *2026-03-08, version 1.71* That’s it, it’s okay, i can still watch them on YouTube, but I’m trying to stay away from that app so yeah… the quizzes are great tho, and free knowledge and good interface so, 4 stars. ### 3/5 — Bugs? *2025-07-06, version 1.7* I am unable to see topics beyond biology, physics, anatomy and about 2 or three other topics…. The search function does not work either… I tried seeking for update options but there is none available. Please advise. ### 2/5 — Other courses? *2025-06-29, version 1.7* Why am I only seeing courses with decks now? I’ve had this app for a few years, and all the other courses are no longer there. What happened? ### 4/5 — App should be 17+ *2025-06-06, version 1.7* It’s ridiculous that the app is marked at 17+. Everything in this is very child friendly. It should be marked so it’s not picked up by iPhone content filters. ### 5/5 — So helpful *2025-05-12, version 1.7* Very useful for all ages ### 5/5 — Good stuff *2025-04-20, version 1.7* I love their original content, though I loathe their new identity politics stuff, it’s exhausting having these ideologically captured institutions peddling gender pseudoscience 24/7 or crt. At least in this app it doesn’t contain that radical left content which is on their YouTube channel which I unsubscribed from. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-08-18, version 1.72* Really wish I could download and use. App crashes at the loading screen. When I do get in there’s only 4 courses available. Guess I’ll have to keep watching on YouTube. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-07-04, version 1.71* Does not work ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-05-08, version 1.71* I’m not able to watch the videos. Just says I watched it but never plays. ### 1/5 — Totally Disappointed *2026-01-30, version 1.71* I downloaded this because I LOVE Crash Course for the history, philosophy, psychology, literature and other topics it covers. I was excited to use this! Once I downloaded it, there were only four courses total available: Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Physics. These have to rank as my least favorite topics. Where are all of the others? I got a pop-up that told me all courses without decks were removed, but why?! This is such a bummer. ### 1/5 — Not enough courses *2025-06-13, version 1.7* The app needs to improve the number of courses. I only see four courses, and those are not enough. ### 1/5 — Can’t access anything *2025-04-29, version 1.7* I love crash course and all of your videos and when I found out y’all had an app I was so excited. But I can’t access anything even after downloading the content. ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing 😞 *2024-12-13* It is ironic, but the Crash Course app continuously crashes even though I have an iPhone 16. I haven’t been able to download any videos. It might be a very good philosophy in theory, but the reality is that the app is probably not designed to cope with the demand. ### 1/5 — Update took away all courses without decks *2024-08-25, version 1.7* Super upset, planned my child’s homeschool year using crash course videos, only to find update took away all courses without decks. 😤☹️😭 ### 1/5 — Needs much more improvement *2023-12-12, version 1.61* The app barely had any other material and even then it just opens links to YouTube if there’s no material. Needs more work and experience feels buggy ### 1/5 — No content after making contributions *2023-11-30, version 1.61* I downloaded app and proceeded to the Anatomy and Physiology section and then it gave option for making contributions which I did twice and when I clicked download. Nothing was downloaded and returned to the make contribution to download. Not happy with this. Appears to be a scam I think. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — AMAZING APP BRO *2026-06-08, version 1.71* This app single-handedly got me through high school as a disabled teenager with learning disabilities. I got straight As and was able to build realistic study habits with this. If Crash Course had a god I would switch religions to worship it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-09, version 1.71* The fact that the app is complete free is so great and it really allows people to actually learn ### 5/5 — Good part *2026-04-09, version 1.71* Between evil people and the freezing cold, you kept me warm and covered with knowledge ### 5/5 — Accessible education! *2026-01-23, version 1.71* Thank you so much for making this accessible and free. I can’t pay much during undergrad but I am excited to contribute financially once I get a stable job after graduation! Will never forget crash course’s generosity and how much they helped me. Thank you <3 ### 5/5 — For Students *2025-12-13, version 1.7* Please 🙏 add a math and English course it would make it perfect seriously. ### 5/5 — My goats *2025-10-06, version 1.7* Thank you for making it free, this app helps so much and I feel like I'm learning so quick. This is the best app ever! I'm gonna cry it's so beautiful ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-09-10, version 1.7* These lessons and flash cards have helped my get through anatomy so much easier ### 5/5 — STUDYING SUPERSTAR *2025-07-31, version 1.7* In constant turmoil of AP courses it took me more than 12 tries before i found a free and EXPLANATORY platform to learn chemistry. If you have difficulty learning in a classroom this brings the perfect blend of 1 on 1 and seriousness that all classrooms would have def 5/5 💕 ### 5/5 — Great help for difficult topics *2025-06-17, version 1.7* Love theses courses ### 5/5 — Love yall *2025-06-02, version 1.7* The whole Crash Course team is incredible.

I love yall🥰 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
