No substance
These classes are just for celebrity lovers. Don’t purchase if you’d actually like to learn a skill.
Master of none
Just a bunch of celebrities trying to earn a quick buck don’t waste your coin!
App is Majorly Flawed
The development team really needs to work on how it authenticates users. There is so much unnecessary friction built into the process. It’s easier to access a bank account than videos I’m entitled to due to my subscription payment. I will probably cancel my subscription simply due to how clunky the app is. I have to use a web browser to access my account right now.

Issues with content and functionality
I am disappointed in the quality of content on the app. The information in the classes is very surface level. Ive completed probably 10 classes don’t have a better understanding of the subject matter than I did before the class using just common sense and human experience. But probably more frustrating is the app functionality. It is the only app I have that overheats my phone, even on audio only mode. I regularly stream video from several other apps without a problem. The app also freezes often, has a significant navigation delay, and the screen display becomes distorted. There is no excuse for an app with such a high annual fee to have so many technical issues. I’ve been using it for months hoping these issues were just glitches that would resolve and they have not.

Content is great, but app isn’t
If I download video offline, I can’t stream it via chromecast? Interesting design, because otherwise it’s just stream with such lags that it’s impossible to watch
Gift
I received a membership as a gift December 25, 2025. I utilized it a little back then. I tried to sign in today and my only option was to pay for a new membership. I would like to take a couple of courses but I don’t want to pay again for the gift I was given. This seems like a bait and switch.
Horrible app
Classes are good… app is horrible!! It’s slow to load, if it loads at all. It doesn’t remember what you’ve already seen in an episode, difficult to use UI. It’s painful to use. I think I’ll stick to the desktop, which isn’t great either tbh
Avoid! You can never log in and have to wait days to be able to.
Brought a yearly subscription and barely used the app due to the continuous hassle of logging in. You go through customer service via email, and it's a case of back and forth until finally being able to log in. Totally regret signing up to this app as lessons and glasses could be found on Youtube for free and with minimal hassle!

Harassment
Keeps trying to charge a credit card that is canceled despite trying to cancel my subscription. They attempt to charge this card literally every couple of days.
App failure
What is the point of having the ability to download classes if one is not able to play them without being connected to WiFi or internet?
App has gone downhill
The app no longer shows trailers to the classes. So, you can’t get an idea if you want to watch them or not.
Masterclass is great infotainment. But, the app isn’t great and the website keeps trying to direct you to the app instead of letting you navigate the courses. I’ll be canceling my subscription if they don’t fix the app soon.

You can’t cancel.
To cancel it says got to the website and support. You can’t do it on app. When you go to the website it loops to a page asking. To edit profiles and no way to cancel. What a scam.
Too many barriers to cancel
To cancel or turn off automatic renewals, you must do it on a desktop. This has ended up costing me so much money for this app that I never use. I used it for a couple of things when it started, but couldn’t figure out how to cancel it. Some of this is my fault for forgetting when I was around my desktop. Why can’t they make it easy to cancel on the app? Customer support has been no help. I caught the renewal a little bit outside of the window available for a refund and now I have ended up paying for a year for an app I don’t use.

Content aside the app is terrible
Glitchy app and it quits on its own… sometimes doesn’t even open. Also it doesn’t let you delete things from your progress list
Not available
I paid for the course, and now it's unavailable. And the report a problem button just gives an error. I can't even contact support.
Don’t do it
I got charged and didn’t even approve of any charges. I just now asked for a refund $180 and they “can’t find me” in their system. I sent screenshots from my bank statement showing the charges. I gave them everything they need to find me and they still can’t find me. And they won’t give me a number for customer service… none listed on the website either… this is definitely a scam

Great content, terrible user experience.
Home and Library is basically the same page but designed differently.
My Progress is frustrating as My List isn’t ordered in any meaningful way. Please give us filters to sort or search.
Occasionally, videos autoplay out of the blue. Even with autoplay turned off.
Lastly, the AI chat bot that pops up on EVERY page on desktop is just ridiculous. Stop with the unnecessary AI. Please.

Horrible Tech Supoort
There is a big issue in getting the add-on through ipad/iphone/ app/web/vpn/no vpn (UAE market).
The team was NOT proactive in solving the issue. I spent three days troubleshooting on my own. All they do - is sending emails with sorry for your issue.
Thats it!!! No tech help whatsoever.
Terrible customer service/aftersales.

Tech needs improvement, content is great
Happy to fix my reviews with updates to the app.
The content of MasterClass is really good, and the people that have found to interview has been really amazing. Although I will say that some of the initial people that they picked and had classes that were much more insightful than the recent ones. No dig at anybody’s credentials of the recent courses, but somehow it just feels that the amount of effort was put in coming up with extremely insightful knowledge on the recent courses as there was in the courses. And it is not the length of the course that determines that.
As for the app, it’s quite disappointing to be honest. The branding is really good, really appreciate the UX and the colors and everything. The issue is with the billing process of it, it takes over 24 hours for changes to be shown. Somehow the tech in the backend is not integrated well enough. But today’s technology and AI coding available they should be super easy to solve.
The most frustrating thing though is on the mobile phone app when we go into the audio only mode. Somehow, when you do that with Apple Music or Spotify. To switch between working on the phone or locking your phone and everything keeps playing. But that’s not the case with MasterClass app. It stops every chance it gets, it stops that every notification that comes through even though priority notifications. And then to get it back up and going, it’s also very slow. It also stops when the audio output device changes where is Apple Music on Spotify do not. So I believe that there is a way it could be set up to run better like those music players.

App overheats phone
The content is good but the app is useless. It’s the only app on my phone where when I open it, the phone instantly starts overheating and after using it for just a few minutes I have to kill the app and take the case off to cool it down. Both the front glass and back of the phone (even thru the case!) are physically hot to touch. Just to test this when the phone was normal cool temperature I closed all other apps, opened just the masterclass app, and sure enough within a few minutes it was quite hot to touch. I have a 15Pro. I haven’t pushed it to the limit to see if the phone will shut off because it’s physically uncomfortable to handle so I just close the app and therefore it’s useless for more than 5 minutes at a time.
