### 4/5 — Workshop

*2025-04-02, version 3.12.15*

Seems to work well - quick response from your team re a problem . Nothing beats face to face tuition but this is a good second .

### 3/5 — Good content but could do with some technical upgrading

*2025-02-17, version 3.12.15*

I am doing a cookery course that uses this app. The course content is good, just the odd typo. However the technology it sits on is ok rather than great. It has some difficulty synching to be always up to date with your progress if you use multiple devices and it is clunky if you want to hop around - for example go back a little rather than to restart the segment.

### 5/5 — Absolutely fabulous

*2024-10-19, version 3.12.15*

Well paced sessions. Informative and quality production. As someone who doesn’t enjoy cooking I have found the method of mise en place suits my style of working. Each meal was tasty and nutritious. Looking forward to the rest  of the course.

### 4/5 — Perfect app

### 3/5 — Content

*2024-07-26, version 3.12.15*

I find the app really useful. - except for writing long answers.  Content can be lost with a single touch of the screen which is frustrating when a lot of facts need entered.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Expensive  and unreliable - avoid

*2026-01-08, version 3.12.15*

Booked on a leiths course, doesn't show in library, no response from support chat bot or email , no contact phone number .. thought it was a great gift - terrible experience so far

### 1/5 — Almost unusable

*2025-03-30, version 3.12.15*

The app keeps failing all the time. It doesn’t load content properly. Your comments disappear. It fails to post or posts the same thing multiple times, image uploads are constantly failing too

### 1/5 — Not great

*2023-05-08, version 3.12.10*

Not intuitive at all

### 1/5 — Setup

*2020-08-16, version 3.9.0*

It hasn’t linked a course I’ve purchased to the app.  It asks me to click complete setup so I do and just takes me to a homepage without explaining anything else have contacted them so wait to hear

### 1/5 — Confused

*2019-02-01, version 3.1.0*

I downloaded the app, signed in, gave my preferences, and all I can see are cooking classes, which I’m not interested in.  I’m confused. I cannot find another way to access what classes are available.

### 1/5 — Steals sound

*2018-10-03, version 2.1.1*

The app is no use if the first thing it does in open is hijack the sound from whatever else I’m listening to in the background like iTunes.  

Surely I should be able to browse courses first before deciding whether I want to listen? 

Instant delete.

### 2/5 — So so…

*2024-07-04, version 3.12.15*

Posts are often not seen.  The videos are fine.  Response from Workshop Customer Service is average, often queries are not appropriately responded to.

### 2/5 — Good content with subpar UX

*2021-11-14, version 3.12.4*

The classes themselves are brilliant but the app has a ton of usability issues. It’s not intuitive to navigate sections, the video playback is clunky and jumping to specific areas of a given segment is annoying to do. UI is unresponsive and some of the social elements are lacking (ie. can’t zoom on posted pictures)

### 2/5 — Leiths online cooking course.

*2020-07-26, version 3.8.1*

What a disappointing app - full of promise but does not deliver. 
I purchased the Leiths online cooking course and keep persevering with it because I love cooking! 

However I would not recommend this course to anyone mainly due to technical issues and also the lack of support! 

Workshop says they aim to get back to you within 48 hours but they never do. 
I know this is an online course but I wish I had just used YouTube and posted my dishes on Instagram as feedback from peers is pretty much all you get from the course. 
A course tutor does respond to questions not for a few days. 

For me it has not been worth the money and the hours spent trying to get a video to play or download or checking that the recipes on the video match the print out. 

This is an expensive course and I expected more.

### 2/5 — Possibly the most irritating app I have ever used

*2019-12-22, version 3.5.4*

Ok, so it works fine, but treats you like a child in the process...I bought the app to access content..it says I can do this at my own pace and then forces me down a path where I have to give feedback before I can mark a module complete and begin.  the next

### 5/5 — Emilia

*2025-07-31, version 3.12.15*

This App was very easy to use. I liked being able to manage the videos to follow the recipes.  I liked the option to print it all out in advance. It was easy to upload and see what everyone else was doing. I liked the feeling of community in the group and the individual feedback every week was super helpful. Thank you. I loved it.
