Love the app, great courses, but for whatever strange reason while on my iPhone 11, I cannot scrub forwards or backwards one in landscape mode. So, when in landscape mode with the display locked, I wind up having to rotate my phone to make the charge port to the left instead of the right. And my only other criticism is that on occasion I get booted back to the main screen what I’m trying to look for a course through the catalog. These are all minor annoyance is that I’m sure can be fixed in a future revision. Otherwise, love the app, love the courses, overall great service.

I’ve tried to expand my knowledge of media via a variety of online outlets. Lynda’s content and video quality far exceeds other avenues I’ve tried. Each course is extremely practical. The only glitch I’ve noticed is sometimes when I’ve completed a course, the site won’t recognize it’s been completed and erases the record of me watching a particular segment. I have to go back to that segment and go through it again, sometimes with more than one segment, and that can be a little annoying. Overall though, I HIGHLY recommend this as a learning platform, and I require all my interns to sign up so they’ll also have this resource at their disposal.

This is the most incredible learning resource I have seen anywhere, any time, bar none. During the 15+ years I have subscribed, the course list has expanded exponentially. Most of the negative reviews I have read are about annoying glitches that I attribute to growing pains of the platform. I am willing to put up with that, given the value of the app. I am a photographer. What started out as a great resource for Photoshop and Lightroom has grown to cover photographic techniques, gear, principles, business aspects (Quickbooks), creating portfolios, marketing, and on and on. At various times over the years when money was tight, I did without some other things rather than let my Lynda subscription lapse. One of the many things I have always liked is that older videos are not removed when a new product video appears. Therefore I am not forced into always buying the latest and greatest. For example I can still view the entire course on Photoshop CS4 if I am still using that version of the software. All this and yet no obtrusive ads or popup videos to dilute the experience. Thanks Lynda and keep up the good work.
