Lagging
Really useful, just slow
Works great!
Please update
Response from developer
We did update it (and as soon as we possibly could), hope you do like the changes now. If something specific comes up, please let us know via the support function - like this is it is hard to understand the problems occuring worldwide and to work on them. Polearn we had to move on from due to new technical requirements of the Apple and Google app store, which was frustrating for us too but we took it as a chance to bring more and very renowned instructors in. We try to improve the app constantly as well and fast as we can - which is limited/slower, compared to big companies ofc, especially with constantly changing requirements. Anyway. Things should be better now, please check it out.
Very slow
The most frustrating thing is the slow loading time for basically anything. I’m a software developer myself and I know it’s not that hard to encrypt your videos and cache them locally to improve performance.
I really want to like this app but until there’s significant improvement on speed, I think I’ll stick to instagram and YouTube.

Hi Justin! Thank you for taking the time to give us helpful feedback, that is so appreciated. Mostly the app is meant as a tool for inspiration and as a library - but we also are reworking the step-by-step instructions right now, to make them go into more details. Additionally all new tutorials we will be uploaoding will have an audio breakdown. Regarding the slow loading: There is some background that makes it unfortunately a little more complicated to cache videos locally - buuut that being said, if you wanna reach out to see if you have any insights that would improve the performance, by all means, maybe this is an opportunity to get together. Ofc YouTube and Instagram have their perks. But it is not supporting the Pole community, especially Instructors in the same way, so if you can reconsider and give us an other shot, maybe even talk to us personally, that would be great. All the best + ty again!
