Thank you for offering such great free courses, and I really enjoyed learning on the platform in the past. However, the mobile app needs improvement in terms of frequent crashes, too many Ads, and quizzes marking correct answers wrong due to spelling errors. All these issues had disrupted my learning journey, therefore I am relying on another platform. But fixing these issues would make again Alison a much better experience than before.

Overall, the app is great if you want structured courses. However, I find it quite irritating to always have to always tap the screen before I open the app (after clicking the app icon). Some of the courses are too outdated for 2025 and I almost always have to supplement them with external resources. I don't know about others but I personally feel like the alternate player should be the main player because the main one is very bad in all aspects as a video player.

Your app has a very big problem, whenever I leave the app and come back I'm logged out, it doesn't matter if I just left for 5 mins, it's also very picky on what speed of Internet it opens with, it's a very helpful app but frustrating to load or open, I would appreciate if you made it lighter and removed the login issue, otherwise great app but please fix it.

"Learn Anything, Anywhere, Anytime For Free." & " ...the world’s largest free online learning and empowerment platform." Am I missing something? Because my experience compared to nearly every other reviewer couldn't be more different. After doing the short questionnaire following signing up I'm taken to a BLANK list of available courses... the only link available is an advertisement for Allison courses at 20% off... And... that's my experience.

Good:) edited, the courses are still admirable but now it's minor discrepancies like, when I get the answer wrong, it doesn't show me the right responses (before the final exam), like the prior version did. Henceforth, I'm not able to download nor forward my criteria and certifications that were completed to my digital profiles. Finally, the update is a little off putting vs. the prior app installment, I prefer to excel with more content than videos IMO! Ty for reading folks and enjoy.

Great classes. Most are very short and to the point. They are free unless you want/need a diploma or completion certificate. Most of the completion classes are about 1.5 hours and diploma classes start at about 10 hours. Good information if you just want to increase your knowledge of certain areas. I have taken about 20 different classes just to learn a little about everything. Also if your test questions do not load correctly, this app was designed for desktop/laptop applications not mobile.

Alison is the best online educational platform I have found so far, and I have tried quite a few of them. There are so many options. Just about anything You want to learn, Alison has at least 1 if not numerous classes on the subject. Some instructors are better than others, but it costs nothing to try a class. If the instructor puts You to sleep, drop the class and find a better one. The only cost is to get a diploma. There are occasional ads but I don't think they are a burden.

Alison provides a 'taste' of the course material so you can decide whether it is worth your time and money. Don't make the mistake of believing this app replaces paid tuition. There's a vast amount of courses to choose from, you can search by categories, or keywords. Courses selection is taken from a variety of degree options, including (but not limited to) certification and diploma. Highly recommend for prospective students who aren't sure about their career choice(s).

At first I enjoyed learning and trying to pass the tests. Until I got to the video part of the cognitive techniques on anxiety and mindfulness. I have a very hard time understanding what the lady is even saying in the videos. I've tried to watch it several times and she rambles on and whatever she is saying is so hard to understand I can't learn any of those parts. Maybe just stick with the reading it and learning or getting someone who can talk so we can understand them.

I enjoy the learning. I wish there was more description of the subsections and the menu was broken down more. A precursor of what to learn from the subsection would be advantageous to be more prepared for the quizzes and tests. I am currently taking course on property management and wish there was a plan for a diploma instead of paying separately for certificates of several courses. Learning for free is great and paying for the certificates is nice instead of paying for classes.
