### 2/5 — Went downhills fast

*2025-08-23, version 2025.08.20*

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.

### 3/5 — Pluralsight on Apple TV Box

*2025-08-13, version 2025.08.01*

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.

### 2/5 — View constantly switches

*2025-08-03, version 4.0.0*

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

### 1/5 — Very poor application

*2025-02-19, version 3.56.0*

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.

### 1/5 — Bait and switch scheme

*2025-01-30, version 3.55.0*

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.

### 3/5 — Mixed bag

*2025-01-27, version 3.55.0*

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 :(

### 1/5 — New licensing

*2025-01-12, version 3.55.0*

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.

### 1/5 — Good courses, poor App

*2025-01-01, version 3.55.0*

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.

### 3/5 — Love Pluralsight, but the app...

*2024-12-21, version 3.55.0*

...has one major flaw that has been driving me crazy for a while now: I can play a video with the play/pause button on my BT headset, but I cannot _pause_ a video.

At first, I thought it was just a quirk of my earbuds, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I've tested with:
- Aftershokz OpenMove
- Aftershokz OpenRun Pro
- Sennheiser HD1 Free
- Anker Soundcore Neo
- and more.

Please fix this. It makes it incredibly difficult to train on-the-go and review material when I cannot pause the video to parse other input or catch up on notes.

### 1/5 — Terrible app couple with terrible CS

*2024-12-21, version 3.55.0*

This application is useless is pretty buggy and when you try to use for the only valuable thing it has that is to download course to view without internet it fails. I have had this issue a couple of time and usually I need to delete the application install it again and move on. This last time the apple have not work. When I contacted support its was a disappointed experience. A rep that does not know anything about the product telling to change wifi and to clear cache in the app. I only used this because my company pay for it but the quality of app and courses have been decreasing with year very rapid

### 1/5 — Garbage buggy app

*2024-12-18, version 3.55.0*

Reported bugs over and over for 9 years now and they never get fixed. Lies

### 1/5 — Not authorized

*2024-11-18, version 3.54*

You are not authorized to view this video, error 7020
And I do have a premium subscription, which I obviously not going to extend seeing that errors

### 3/5 — Good content let down by poor app

*2024-10-26, version 3.54*

Please the navigation bugs on iOS with screen cast.  Ability to resume after pause and navigate content when sharing is buggy

### 2/5 — No way to switch to ACG

*2024-10-10, version 3.54*

It’s need a place to switch to ACG in the app

### 1/5 — Allow users to download course in higher quality formates.

*2024-10-02, version 3.54*

What’s a point to have download feature if you don’t provide user an option to download course in higher quality option. On device like iphone pro max, the downloaded course quality is so poor that sometime you have to zoom into video to see the content. Please, provide this common feature.

### 1/5 — Not a good learning platform

*2024-09-20, version 3.53*

People in the videos seem very knowledgeable about their jobs but also seem like they know nothing about teaching. The coding quizzes along the way have a ton of bugs and no one appears to monitor the forums to acknowledge and correct the issues.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Impossible to connect

*2025-10-20, version 2025.10.07*

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

### 1/5 — App is horrible

*2025-10-14, version 2025.10.07*

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!

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-10-08, version 2025.10.07*

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.

### 1/5 — Frustrating to use after moving cloudguru to pluralsight

*2025-09-13, version 2025.09.10*

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.

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2025-09-11, version 2025.09.05*

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

### 1/5 — crashing on iphone 12 with latest update

*2025-09-10, version 2025.09.05*

unable to open

### 1/5 — iOS version!

*2025-08-13, version 2025.08.01*

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!!!

### 1/5 — Login process is useless

*2025-07-14, version 3.61.0*

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,

### 1/5 — The courses are great the app is poorly done.

*2025-06-18, version 3.59.0*

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.

### 1/5 — No Option to Download Courses

*2025-06-03, version 3.59.0*

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.

### 5/5 — Great platform.

*2025-05-27, version 3.59.0*

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

### 5/5 — Keep up to date on IT education

*2025-03-21, version 3.57.0*

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

### 5/5 — Inspiring Stuff

*2024-12-14, version 3.55.0*

Honestly, I gotta admit my first thought when using this app was oh no, there’s another YouTube, but essentially this apps, simple user interface, and the vast amount of knowledge of which is updated frequently is truly inspiring, allowing me to ascend my abilities to a new level of comprehension. Especially love the IQ test.

### 5/5 — Just awesome

*2024-11-16, version 3.54*

Easy to use. Awesome as I can learn on the go

### 5/5 — Great Platform for learning

*2024-05-29, version 3.46*

Pluralsight has a lot of content. With a subscription you can watch on any device. Loads very fast. Good navigation.

### 5/5 — Playback Controls

*2024-05-22, version 3.46*

It's almost perfect! My only gripe is that the player controls appear in the middle of the videos and do not seem to go away until I click on negative space in the player. But then re-appears on the next video, basically having to repeat the steps every few minutes. 

If we had the option to move the player controls, that would make this app flawless!!

### 5/5 — The best

*2024-01-12, version 3.41*

I have everything I need lo master a new technology.

### 5/5 — Best ever!

*2023-12-08, version 3.40*

Love it!

### 5/5 — Great platform with tons of high quality courses

*2023-10-27, version 3.38*

Thank you for the application. I’m really enjoying using the platform and I use iOS app and android one. Unfortunately, iOS version has one annoying bug: when you open the app at first time it always shows the error on the main screen. Every time I need to refresh the main screen in order to see the content. On android the app doesn’t have this issue. Will appreciate if the issue is fixed. Otherwise awesome platform! Thank you for it

### 5/5 — Testing it out

*2023-09-05, version 3.36*

I’m enjoying the learning.
