My only gripe is that until it has complete syllabus’ (syllabi?) it’s only as good as Hillsdale College online, which is free. ### 4/5 — iPad Compatability *2026-05-10, version 0.17.83* The app works on my iPad, but only renders in portrait mode. It would be a huge improvement and worthy of a five star rating if you guys would create a version for iPad. Huge fan of the content. ### 4/5 — Incredible Content, Disappointing Functionality *2026-03-06* Running into multiple issues as it relates to the functionality of the app. Downloaded ten different lectures and upon attempting to watch them on a flight, all of them froze after 10-20 seconds and would not play further. Subtitle functionality also disappeared while attempting to use downloaded content - moot point since it didn’t allow me to play the lecture anyway. Also running into other minor bugs in the app, but all tolerable enough to look past. Honestly, couldn’t be happier with the content, but the backend side of the app needs some serious help. ### 3/5 — Good content; terrible app *2026-01-18* I’ve listened to a few courses, which are pretty good. The app is difficult to navigate, though. It offers to continue lectures you’ve already completed, and fails to offer the next lecture once one has been completed, forcing you to pick through the menu to find the next class. It’s as though the developers never bothered to use the app themselves. ### 5/5 — iPad version please!! *2026-01-09, version 0.15.85* Would much rather watch these on an iPad, larger screen. ### 5/5 — Top Tier Online Education *2026-01-07* I have been waiting years for the launch of this learning platform, and I was still blown away by the quality & breadth of the lectures. There are new courses from legit university profs being added 4x a month. You can go at your own pace, even listen on the go. I really wish this existed right when I graduated high school. ### 5/5 — Incredible *2025-12-20, version 0.14.14* Life-changing ### 5/5 — Community *2025-12-18, version 0.14.14* I love this community so much. Intelligent people who can have open debates with no hate, who discuss ideas and not people. I used to have masterclass but I actually feel like I learn something here ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2025-12-10* I’ve known the app has been in development for sometime and I’ve been looking forward to it ever since I knew it was in the works. I just found out today that it was live and grabbed it immediately. I’ve already listened to one lecture and already am quite a way into a second lecture and I’m loving this app. It’s so great and I love that. You can download things on Wi-Fi to listen to later. That’s a big help for those of us that are on the road constantly. Massive kudos to the team working behind the scenes to make all the stuff possible y’all have done an amazing job. Keep it up! May you all see continued success! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2025-11-30, version 0.13.579* Outstanding content at a great price. The app functions well and proper. ### 5/5 — Life changing Academy *2025-11-30* University Level Education with modern accessibility and cinematic production quality, all for 1% cost of a traditional degree! Single greatest thing I’ve ever signed up for, all of my time wasted on doom scrolling has now been replaced with productive learning of not only the world but of myself. I particularly love Jordan Peterson’s courses “How to Plan Your Life” and “Maps of Meaning.” Having the academy on my phone allowing me to learn while on the go has been a game changer too! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Viewer Buggy *2026-05-15, version 0.17.83* The viewer is buggy, switching from content to quiz and back loses place in quiz. Just not ready for release. ### 1/5 — Terrible platform, ordinary lectures *2026-05-05, version 0.17.83* No smooth transition between listening in lock screen and watching video directly. Lectures start out quite interesting and then either regurgitate or drift off into unsubstantial, impractical academia jargon. ### 1/5 — Playback errors. App freezes on multiple attempts to play downloaded videos. *2026-01-29, version 0.15.85* I’ve sent several technical bugs via the app, and no replies or acknowledgement of the playback error messages for downloaded content. I’m eager to learn but not if the app blocks me from content I’ve paid for. ### 1/5 — Great content undermined by app issues *2025-12-31* The content itself is great, but unfortunately the player quality needs significant improvement. The app frequently buffers, and many of the features are slow or buggy. Because of this, I eventually stopped using the app and accessed the service through Chrome instead. I hope these performance issues can be addressed, as they negatively impact what could otherwise be a good service. ### 1/5 — Needs Improvement! *2025-11-19, version 0.13.551* So far, all I see are exclamation points all over the App. It’s not working properly at all. I was very excited to see this, but it’s very poor. ### 2/5 — Downloaded Options *2026-08-10* 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. ### 2/5 — It's Not Education, It's TED Talks with a Social Media Component *2026-05-17, version 0.17.83* Just to be clear, Peterson Academy is NOT an "academy". It is a online video platform with a social media component. Real learning is more than just watching videos and taking AI quizzes. But if you want to feel like you're learning, feel free to sign up. But if you actually want to learn, this is not where you get an education. ### 3/5 — Feedback *2026-05-08, version 0.17.83* Screen mirroring fails ### 3/5 — The app doesn't let you in! *2026-01-24, version 0.15.85* Having paid for a year, I downloaded the app as soon as I saw one was available, but unfortunately my web login doesn't work on the app. I don't want to be an arse & rate it badly, but can someone let me in please?! ### 3/5 — Great but a couple issues *2026-01-23* The app doesn’t seem to sync to the same progress that I have via the browser? In the recommended videos section of the app, it’s showing lectures that are 2 or 3 behind rather than the one I’m currently watching. Also, at the end of the lecture, there’s apparently no “go to lecture 2” button? I only have the option to go back to the man page, and have to navigate around to find lecture 2 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Better than University *2026-07-20* 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! ### 5/5 — Amazing content!!! / App could have some more features *2026-07-02* 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? ### 5/5 — Outstanding. *2026-05-28, version 0.18.110* These courses are phenomenal and beautifully executed! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to invest in themselves! Truly outstanding! ### 5/5 — I love this. *2026-05-23, version 0.18.110* 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. ### 5/5 — The best! *2026-05-22, version 0.18.110* It’s a blessing what this man was able to accomplish and we have the opportunity to participate, get wiser and stand against evil united! God bless you! ### 5/5 — University education at home *2026-05-22, version 0.18.110* Have you ever wanted to learn, to hear to feel history, science, finance ? Have woke agendas stopped you from learning? Join Peterson Academy for education , without the slant of the woke eye. All from your own laptop or smart phone ### 5/5 — Superb lecture quality. *2026-05-07* Peterson Academy is by far the best educational service I have ever had. Even as a pre-launch member, the videos have been of the highest quality from day one. The weekly rate of new lectures is incredible. Peterson Academy is easily the best investment I’ve made online in education. ### 5/5 — Educational Failure *2026-04-02* BSN in nursing and with the GI bill I still have more than $20,000 in loans. One out of those four years taught me information I did not know (pre-req and arbitrary nonsense took up the rest); Peterson Academy is something new with every individual lesson. ### 5/5 — Very premium *2026-01-16* High quality content, beautiful interface, great social media platform to connect with other like minded individuals. Everything about this is quality and class. ### 5/5 — I love the app (please make an iPad version though) *2026-01-15, version 0.15.85* I’ve pretty much quit using YouTube, Spotify, and other social media platforms and I now almost exclusively listen/watch these lectures. I only finished elementary school and was always interested in going to learn at a collage so Peterson Academy has been amazing for me to learn from. The only thing I could ask for is to make the mobile app work for iPad 🙏 I primarily study on my iPad or computer so having the app instead of the website would be ideal for me. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
