What's New in Peterson Academy

v0.24.0

August 21, 2026

New: - Links now open inside the app—tap one anywhere and swipe back to where you left off. - Continue Learning: remove courses you've moved on from. - Articles: filter the Quad down to just articles. Improvements: - Unfinished posts and comments are saved as drafts, mentions link as you type, and text is selectable. - Your music and podcasts keep playing when you open the app—audio only switches over once you play something with sound. - Smoother scrolling and faster loading throughout the app, with sharper course thumbnails. - Fewer offline interruptions on patchy connections. - More symbols on the math keyboard for quiz answers. Fixes: - Fixed the keyboard sticking around after leaving a message. - Fixed glitchy text selection while composing, including on longer messages. - Fixed a black video player when switching lectures from the course list. - Fixed downloaded lectures getting stuck when you close them. - Additional bug fixes and stability improvements.

Downloaded Options

I do not have access to cellular service or wifi much of the time due to work constraints and was looking to blast through some of theses courses in my free time. I have found that once the videos of been downloaded they are not able to be accessed once all connectivity has been lost which renders the function of downloads more or less useless.

Better than University

If you are looking for the highest quality of interesting yet immensely educational lecturing, congratulations, you’ve found it! At a fraction of a University tuition, there isn’t much else you’d be better spending your money on.

From the sciences, to psychology, music, religion, and much much more, they are leaving no stone unturned and sparing no expense for some of the best teachers in these fields and for the best production possible.

They claim ‘World class education’ and it’s an objective truth. I’ve been a student for 2 years now and cannot recommend this service enough!

Amazing content!!! / App could have some more features

I would love to have the IPad app using the whole screen area… maybe it’s just me, but I cannot use a full screen mode with the app, unless I go through an external browser (IPad PRO M1 12.9 inch)

On my smartphone, I would be really excited to watch the video vertically with black background on the top and the bottom, could you possibly add that option for the convenience?

Outstanding.

These courses are phenomenal and beautifully executed! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to invest in themselves! Truly outstanding!

I love this.

The content is great and every time I run into a bug it is almost certainly fixed in the next update. Happy to be the 100th review.
