I love this app. I used to listen to music on my morning commute until I downloaded this app. Now I’m way more productive and i get to learn about new topics. The great thing about the app is that it allows me to download content onto my device so when I’m underground on public transit I’m still able to watch my courses
First, I want to tell that I am using both Udemy and Udemy for business and I have some problems with both. But the problem I have with using Udemy for business is that I cannot adjust the quality of the video to 1080 and it is held automatically by the app not even showing the value. I watch videos with lots of coding and even with my iPad I cannot see anything what is written on the screen because of the low resolution of video. Another problem that I have with this app is that once I enrolled in the course I automatically the same minute received notification into my email with congratulations for completing the course and was issued the certificate. I even did not start the course which is weird. All this makes me sad while trying to get my work done.
While the content is great, the interface is very disappointing. When selecting a course on iPad the initial video will play without any interaction. When the video lesson is over and transitioning to the next lesson, it hangs with a loading icon for several minutes and might eventually play after several minutes, but not guaranteed. The only way to quickly advance from one lesson to the next is immediately after the current lesson is over, you must close out of Udemy, closing the app from background apps, relaunch Udemy, and the video starts immediately. This happens on both wi-fi and cellular, using an iPad Pro, running iOS 14.3. The issue remains the same if Udemy is among several apps running in the background, or after closing all apps, doing a soft reset and loading only Udemy. I have also removed Udemy and selected all the content, then re-downloaded Udemy And the symptoms are identical. I want the video lessons to smoothly transition from one lesson to the next without having to fiddle with my iPad between each lesson.
Even when loading downloaded video content, often fails to load videos and app must be restarted multiple times to get videos to function. Apart from this, the app always opens in the vertical screen orientation for iPad rather than the default horizontal orientation iPads are usually used in. Unrelated to iPad issues, it’s worth mentioning that on computer, sped up playback rates for some reason seem to severely mess up the audio making it effectively unintelligible. This for whatever reason does not seem to be a problem on mobile devices.
Got a new 12 Pro Max 512 about 2 weeks and installed U4B. Resuming videos after pausing and putting the app in background for a while still doesn’t work reliably (maybe it works fine 10% of the time). I’ve only gotten the out of memory error once so far. I was hoping that after my last review where I reported these issues, you did some QA and the update I installed yesterday that “fixes video playback issues” would resolve, but it didn’t. If I can “replicate” the issues almost 100% of the time now on 2 devices, I can’t believe it’s limited to me and that your QA can’t replicate.
Very good app except audio sync problems in 1.5x speed
App was wonderful and does what is required very well until ..... I started to use it at 1.5x speed. It does work good at 1.5x speed too but audio goes out of sync or gets muted very often. This problem gets resolved if I scroll back a few mins/secs of video and gets continuity, but by then I would have lost the time in going back and defeats the purpose of 1.5x speed playback. If this is rectified, it’s a wonderful app.
First and foremost, I swear by Udemy courses and I’m appreciative that I’m able to obtain free courses through my city library. With that being said, this app is SEVERELY lacking. Below are the issues I experience on a daily basis: 1. I’m CONSTANTLY having to login multiple times throughout the day. Having to manually search for my library, enter my ID, then login to my actual Udemy account. This works one the first time about 70% of the time. 2. I’m unable to rotate my phone sideways and view videos in landscape mode on my iPhone. Makes it hard to see when I want to be hands free while working out. 3. On my iPad, I can view in landscape mode but there’s no AirPlay option lol. I would love to have some resemblance of uniformity/consistency across my Apple devices!!
AirPlay is not working from the iPad. It just spins. If I try screen mirroring instead and play the video from there, I can hear the audio, but the video only says it's playing on AirPlay, which isn't correct because the video isn't playing (it only displays the course's title image). If this isn't supported, at least show an error message rather than have it spin indefinitely. To compare, the regular Udemy app (non-Business) is working fine on AirPlay.
This makes my hour-long train ride much more productive. I can even keep listening with the phone in my pocket and the screen off while I walk to and from the station, or when the train is so packed that there’s no room for me to hold up the phone to watch it.
Decent amount of content but struggles when it comes to keeping audio synced, and it’s 50/50 chance when I lock my phone and try to play audio. If a new Bluetooth device connects the app loses its mind and takes a phone restart to work properly again. Also it’s quite common it replays the last video if I exit the app even if I’ve completed it!
I love Udemy and use it often. But the app is seriously lacking in advancement. I mostly use and iPad Pro, and Udemy should AT LEAST offer split screen view so I can take notes on GoodNotes app and watch course content at the same time. They do allow you to pop out the video, but you have to open the app and launch the next video and re-pop out the video player for every course lesson. Very cumbersome and annoying to do this. Please update the app so we can get a better user experience on iPads!
Tough to make time to study sometimes, so having the app makes it easy to just jump into a course for a few minutes when I have time. Waiting at the doctor’s office, sitting on the train. Also easy to pick up where I left off in the course.
Great app, one minor inconvenience though. I take notes in another app on my iPad and being able to open Udemy and my notes app side by side would be a GODSEND. For real if you add that it would change the game, edX has it ;) Otherwise solid app, displays all of my courses and picks up where I left off on my desktop.
Terrible absolutely tiny brain app requires you to log in with udemy account but most users sign up through their University and do not have a udemy account. You can not access the content from the internet on your phone as it redirects you to an half thought out app. I wish I was not forced to use this stinker of an app. On top of that I was meant with no number or email to easily find help. I was meant to save time not waste it boo Udemy.
Love the app. However in the latest update there is a bug which does not load the next lecture automatically. Have to restart the app every time. Gives an error message ‘Sorry! We cannot load the lecture’ error. Thanks, Vijay
Well, It’s surprisingly Great. As I am learning from multiple screens, I’m amazed to see it’s synchronous maintainability. Well the Only Issue I faced is after watching continuous lessons from a playlist, sometimes it misses watched mark (Tic Icon) on some videos. Well reopen the app fixes the issues BTW.
This app is significantly slower than the non-business version. At times, the app is not able to even return search results. Very disappointed in the unreliability of this app.
The app is terrible You have to go through a lengthy log in process each time where you find the corporation or library you are logging in through, type in their identification to login, then login again to your udemy account. This is all done through a redirection via your phone browser and over half the time the app still won’t work after
I love the app overall. I am fortunate to have access through my library. But the login process every time I use the app is a pain. I’m not sure why I have to enter so much information every time. Other than that I love the content.
Great app overall, but the last update made the app buggy and killed a few basic elements. Progress is difficult to tell, because there is no longer a consistent indicator for completed videos. Also, a memory error occurs regularly. Not deal breakers, but not as well executed as my original experience.
At login, it takes me to my company’s single sign on (SSO) website through Safari. After logging in, the app remains in Safari, allowing me to browse my courses. If I were to click “Done” in the browser, it takes me back to the page “Enter the name of your organization’s account” which forces me to log in again through my company’s SSO page. Might as well just use the browser rather than this app. FYI my company account is by Walmart.
Each time I use the app I’m forced to sign in, a process that I do successfully, but which then takes me to a browser inside the app instead of the native app itself. Usually the third time I log in I’m able to access the full app itself. This happens every single day, or multiple times a day if I switch to a different app for long enough.
The autoplay used to keep the UI on on the next video. Now after update the UI auto hides on playing the next video. Finally I do not need to retap the screen on autoplay! Thank you dev team!
Worst experience ever. Bought a monthly Subscription and haven’t been able to access my class for quite sometimes now and mind you I’m preparing for a certification. Customer service is useless a part giving u discount that don’t help if app is not working. Same issue on the website my class stop loading properly. You guys don’t even deserve one start.
It makes it easy to take courses while traveling. I’d like to see an automatic login link that would take you to the website. The app doesn’t have all of the same capabilities as the website.
Just updated the Udemy for Business app today, and it works much more smoothly, loads faster, feels less buggy in general. Feels like a totally new app.
Sometimes when I fast forward or jump around in the videos, the video will freeze but the audio will continue to play. There is no clear way to get the video to work again. I am having the same issues on iPad and iPhone. I’ve been through a few iOS updates and Udemy app updates but the issue remains. Very frustrating.
American Airlines offers these courses to their employees and I could not be happier . I wanted to attain my Net + certification and this course will make it super easy for me . After Net + I hope to study for Server + and Security + . I am really looking forward to utilizing the courses !
I'm experiencing serious issues attempting to Airplay content from my phone to the TV. Given how small the iPhone screen is, that makes the app almost unusable for my learning. As stated in the review title, the Udemy content is great and not what I have an issue with. Skip the app and just use Udemy on your laptop or tablet.
This app has been a great benefit during this covid19 time. I have been able to learn new skills. Thank you for a great app please continue to make it an awesome experience
The latest update ruined the app. Videos in a learning series are skipped over. The video audio is muted and the app has to be restarted over and over. The player in player function disappears after every video in a series. Unusable as an app for any sort of productivity.
The app randomly crashes and closes the course you were doing. It’s especially annoying when the phone is in your pocket and your hands are busy or when you analyze the test results and after the crash have to start over. The mentioned crashes appear quite often.
It keeps opening a Webview and making me authenticate there but never reverts back to the native mobile app interface, it’s just a Webview nonstop. It evens suggests downloading the app - from inside the webview, IN THE APP. And after authenticating, if I close the app it loses the webview session again and I have to star from square one, over and over and over. It’s borderline unusable.
Good courses and app but why no Apple TV app like your consumer app? Would be ideal for those of us that work all day and want to learn at night. Most of my courses are technical and need to use my laptop for labs and would be great to see content on my TV. Streaming is okay (thanks for adding that capability) but a dedicated app preferred.
Content available through the app is great, but app has regularly crashed while switching between course modules and I found a bug where it plays two streams of the video on top of each other, so you essentially hear a huge echo.
The ability to view videos that has been downloaded never has worked. I have downloaded videos but the app never lets me past the “Enter your organization” screen. If I have no internet connectivity, there is no way to get past that screen and thus no way to view my downloaded content! Please fix!
My employer uses federation login, when transferred to that page iOS says it can’t login because the phone is not connected to the internet, which is incorrect.
Videos Play great, doesn’t track completion or hours
I just watched 1/3 of a Javacript course on the compute which was tracked great. I switched over to watching on iPad to finish the last 4 hours of the course. Although I completed the course, none of the “progress” was tracked. Really disappointing.
Very recently, I began experiencing some video render issues. When I begin a course the play button in the middle of the screen disappears and then reappears and the video seems to start in the background without any sound. This only happens on my iphone.
I really like udmey and this app. The only reason for a 4 star is because the casting functionality is not as good as it should be and in comparison to other apps like LinkedIn learning. Please improve this as it is very buggy. Thanks
Update: lowered my rating to a one due to the copy pasted developer response. How would reinstalling fix your UI? It plays the lectures from Udemy, so I guess it works ok. The only thing that bothers me is that the UI elements will often cover the content, especially the down arrow at the top left of the screen.
After using the app and I go to put the app in the background, when the video is done playing, it will log me out. I don’t have to go through the whole process of logging back in which is a pain.
The download capability does not work without being able to access the internet. You can download a video but need to connect to internet to start the video or launch the app. This makes it useless if trying to use on a subway or airplane
The app was running fine for the longest time but now I am receiving a 403 access error. It doesn’t make any sense to me and I did reach out to support for some help. I did some pretty good troubleshooting steps, but I’m receiving the same result so I can’t recommend this app and I can’t give it a good rating at the moment.
Don’t understand why it’s on App Store. It just opens the udemy page and if you accidentally click on Done, it closes the browser and you have to sign in again. No any real app features like downloading for offline viewing, landscape mode (not even for videos), it’s actually more convenient to use Safari
