Impossible to connect

Impossible to connect, terrible platform, if u don’t want to waste your time and money, stay away

App is horrible

If you’re using on you phone and accidentally lock it, the presentation stops. You then need to press play. Moreover, they break a lesson into small videos which makes the whole thing even more complicated, as you can easily lose track of where you were before being locked out.
It should be simple! One long video (or a few longish ones —at least 30min), so that you know where started, where you are and what’s next!

Broken

If you use this app for a period of time in excess of 7 minutes you will have to fully close and restart the app at least once due to a significant problem with video playback.

Frustrating to use after moving cloudguru to pluralsight

I had my course in CloudGuru in progress but i can not find the same course on PluralSight anymore. I was almost about to finish the course, very frustrating to use. 0 Star.

Crashed

Today, 9/11, the app is not available. How come the app was not tested at all?

crashing on iphone 12 with latest update

unable to open

Went downhills fast

The app constantly crashes. Idk what is going on with the development team but the app has been constantly getting worse since last year. Please stop vibe coding this app.

Pluralsight on Apple TV Box

The app is useful for learning; however, the version on the Apple TV lacks a return or back button. Once you select a channel or path, there’s no way to go back. Your only option is to close the entire app and reopen it to exit. Additionally, courses frequently disappear from the channels after being added to them.

iOS version!

Previous used cloudguru on iPadOS and all was good, now plural sight asking for the latest iOS to be able to use plural sight app , not all customers have the latest tech!!!

View constantly switches

The video keeps automatically switching from full screen to minimised screen.

Login process is useless

This app is useless to me. I pay for an ACloudGuru , every month, and I can’t get past the login process. I have to use a browser and cannot use the app on flights to watch downloaded videos.

Pluralsight, if you cannot get something as simple as logging in correctly, you should be ashamed. I won’t be recommend your company any longer.

You bought ACloudGuru and now you have managed to kill it , you incompetent wipers of baboons bottoms,

The courses are great the app is poorly done.

I’ve been trying to finish a couple of courses but the app seems determined to not allow that to happen.
Issues:
Logout less than 24 hours after a fresh login.
Logout deletes your downloaded content.
Cant get to my bookmarked courses quickly.
Media control are suppose to fade out not remain in front of the video the entire time.
Inconsistent controls across devices.

Im writing this instead of watching the content I had planned to watch.

No Option to Download Courses

No option to download majority of courses regardless of if they are video only courses. However, some of the previous outdated versions of these same courses is available for download. Weird.

These newer courses don’t show the options for bookmarking either so the only way to “save” them is to add to a channel, although half the time watching doesn’t keep your progress. So I have to remember where I left off last.

Great platform.

Courses and content selection is great on this platform. Great way to keep current on topics within the industry.

Keep up to date on IT education

Excellent app for IT professionals to keep up to date on IT education or for people wanting to transition to an IT role - highly recommended

Very poor application

The application is not tested in Apple devices. It comes with a lot of ridiculous bugs. For example, play a course, stop and switch to another one, then lock iPhone and play Pluralsight when the iPhone is locked. It plays two courses at the same time. I raised a support request and reported the issue. Their support is worse than the app quality.

Bait and switch scheme

Company terminates lifetime use licenses using shady back doors in their terms of use. Buyer beware. They will never see another dime from me in THEIR lifetime.

Mixed bag

The range of courses, the course content, and the presenters are excellent!

The app, however, leaves a lot to be desired. Try to use it on anything other than a high speed, stable connection and you are bombarded with “you are not logged on”, “you are not connected”, and “something went wrong” messages.

More often than not downloaded courses are removed, or if they are there, you are simply presented with an hourglass.

My advice to the developers would be to trust your paying customers more rather than trying to lock everything down to the extent it becomes unusable.

All I wanted to do was keep on top of my learning on the train into the office each day, but it is proving to be much harder and more frustrating than it should be :(

New licensing

I received an email from pluralsight stating:

“As part of integrating A Cloud Guru into the Pluralsight platform, we are terminating your lifetime course access license to the software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering of A Cloud Guru on February 1, 2025 due to the plan being retired.”

I will not use pluralsight going forward and would not recommend either. This is pure evil and greed.

Good courses, poor App

The app keeps the play controls on the screen far too long when new clips are played etc. Why do you even need to show the playhead? Give an option to remove or adjust.
