Fix the video control issue

Video controls other than play don't even show up. So there is no pausing only play and stop. Wish they'd fix this. Today is Oct 27 2024.

Enjoy the Lessons

I am enjoying the lessons and learning a lot about the basics. I will never be a top chef, but wanted to learn more and I have. The only problem that I have been having is that the app itself doesn’t work as it should. It doesn’t recognize the lessons that I have taken and when I take the quiz and go back into the app, the quiz goes back to zero. Other than that disappointment, I am enjoying the chefs and their lessons.

It Is Dead! Zero star!

I bought the whole package from day 1 and yet this app never recognized it on iPad. I'm already in my final evaluation of my final test and had finished all 19 courses and yet after I downloaded the app, it all went back to zero. The worst app!

Response from developer

Hi, We are very sorry to hear you are having difficulty with the app. Hopefully the following will clarify any concerns you have. This app is independent of the online course. It is offered by a separate company even though there is common content in the training. The app is more of a reference and skills development solution whereas the online course is meant as a true curriculum. The evaluations in the app are not related to completing the certification of the TCU online curriculum. However, if you still subscribe to the online solution you should be able to take the evaluation. It will be current. Again, sorry for the confusion and issues you are having with the app. Please let us know if you have any other problems.

Bought All Lessons

I acquired the All Lessons library; I dont typically write reviews but feel so strongly about this series that I came back to write a review. I found this library to be fantastic and I have been trolling the ITunes site to try and find similar content. This video provides very detailed cooking lessons and tips on techniques which are unique and fantastic. It is probably the best thing I have ever acquired on Itunes. Brilliant quality to the videos; wonderful recipies, specific cooking tips

Worked fine until......

App worked fine until I paid the 19.99 to purchase all content. No, I cannot even open without it crashing immediately. Tried hard/soft reset of IPad 2 as well as multiple reinstallation of the app. No joy. Very disappointing and the developer website show no clear way to contact customer support to resolve issue. Stay away!
