### 1/5 — No video

*2021-03-17*

Internet is fine yet still no video (only audio).

### 1/5 — Is this app even maintained. I cannot get it to work.

*2021-02-06, version 1.2.3*

Is this app even maintained. I cannot get it to work.

### 1/5 — No video, only audio

*2021-01-27*

What a shame.  I’d love to engage w this content!

### 1/5 — Videos don’t play

*2020-12-17*

The app ‘warns’ you need super fast for the videos to work, I have super fast and they still don’t work

### 1/5 — Technical Poor Performance in iPad

*2017-09-17*

It works very badly in iPad. I already bought the whole year package from day one but until now that 6 months have passed, it still keeps closing the already paid videos for me and only allows me to "preview" it and telling me to buy them when I already paid for complete courses at $200 plus. Many times I have to try reopening it before there is a chance it would work. For 6 months I have been patient but now, enough is enough! I wasted using even my workout time to open it but still it failed to work. No good technically!

### 1/5 — NO VIDEO

*2024-01-10*

This app will not play video on your iOS device.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work.

*2023-02-20*

Videos are just a black screen.

### 1/5 — No video

*2023-01-25*

If I had known that this app was not updated I would have never downloaded it. There is no video and never had been since I hit this app

### 1/5 — No video even on high speed stream

*2022-10-27*

That says it all. I have audio but black screen which is the report from so many viewers. I checked my feed and the speed was indeed high speed but after deleting and restarting a couple of times, I simply gave up.

Bad BAD app!

### 1/5 — Amazing content but not playing on IPhone

*2022-07-23*

Looks like amazing content but the full video doesn’t play on the website and doesn’t play at all on iPhone. Please fix! Would love to learn from these videos!

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2022-07-21*

Does not work. As others mention black screen for all videos only sound

### 1/5 — No Video Playback on ALL courses

*2022-06-24*

Your iOS / iPadOS Top Chef University app lost video playback on all your courses. All you see is a black screen with audio. It’s been like this for quite some time while the app is still on sale in the Apple App Store. I have owned this app for several years and I’m disappointed that you have not continued to support it through new iOS updates. You are still selling this app to new users knowing you have this bug. Bravo and Top Chef are well known brands from NBCUniversal, I don’t understand why they would partner with a developer that would neglect an app with their names on it risking the goodwill the network has cultivated over the years. Please fix this bug or be upfront with customers and remove the app from the App Store. By removing it you at least would be sending a message that you don’t intend to support the app any further.

### 1/5 — No video…still

*2022-02-05*

Many have complained that the app isn’t working and that it only plays audio without the video and they have done nothing to acknowledge this or fix it.

### 1/5 — Fix your app

*2022-01-27, version 1.2.3*

Cannot get videos to work no matter what, the entire app is just a glitchy bug-filled mess. Super disappointed because when I used this app a year ago it worked great and I loved it.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-06-05*

I have wifi and it’s still only audio. Would be great if it worked as the content seems interesting.

### 5/5 — Absolutely incredible content free!!

*2021-03-12*

This is the best cooking app I have ever encountered. It really is a university and you learn a lot. I am so thankful and can hardly believe that this app is even available for free!!!! Wow! If you’re interested in culinary techniques with incredible recipes get this app! It’s one of the greatest things at the App Store in my opinion. I hope they continue to support it because it’s one of a kind!

### 5/5 — Great classes

*2018-03-14*

This is an amazing learning experience.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-01-27*

I loved this app when started out cooking. I wish they would add more videos to learn how to make other types of food from around the world. Excellent chance for any beginner to learn from the basics to more advanced.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2015-12-08*

I've been looking recently for an easy way to learn more about cooking, and found this app! It's really good and I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about cooking.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-08-22*

This is amazing  gives you everything you need to become a professional chef I love it and love the design of it thank you for making this app.

### 3/5 — What happened to the video?

*2021-03-07*

Only audio now. Please fix. TY

### 3/5 — OK but it could be SOO much better!!

*2013-11-09*

It’s really good to have TCU for the iPhone! As with the iPad version, the teaching videos are almost like being in actual class – the detail is fantastic!! There’s no in-app purchasing necessary because all lessons are included which came as a welcomed surprise!!:*) That being said, there are some glaring absences – like the iPad app, this one has a written ingredients list but NO written directions.  Also there is NO Favorites file, NO Tools, Terms or Notes tabs. There aren’t any course quizzes or a course progression monitor or end of course evaluations, and worst of all, there are banner ads…YUCK!!!

If courses remained as is (that being all included), the aforementioned options from the iPad (version) were added and the banner ads removed, I’d be more than willing to pay $2.99 to $4.99 for this iPhone app so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for updates!!!

### 2/5 — Nothing works

*2021-03-07*

Cant see videos
