Reviews for Coursera: Grow your career

Just to be clear: this review is for the coursera APP, not the coursera courses themselves. The courses are great. The app is terrible. The lesson never starts without a “whoops, restart the player” message, with no explanation why the player won’t work. Then if I do get lucky and the player works, the video […]

Previously five, had to bump it to four. I don’t know what happened but learning between app and browser would mess up the progress I made between the two. For example, I completed two lessons for the week of a course I took in the browser. When it was time to continue on a lunch […]

Be careful when signing up for the free trial of Coursera+ during the $200 promo period. I did so and now they are trying to make me pay the full price, stating that it is only available to new accounts, despite my account being less than a day old and in the free trial period. […]

This app is horrible. The video player does not work at all. Half the time it will only play audio. The other half of the time the video will stop playing and start buffering several times in the middle of the video, even if I’ve fully downloaded the video. I then have to “go back […]

So far, it’s an easy experience. The app is easy to navigate, and the lessons are a cool “at your own pace” style. The biggest issue I have is not everything (especially tests/quizzes) is viewable on tablets or phones. Not everyone has access to computers these days, as portable devices are what people prefer. It’d […]

Got a free trial, only to not be allowed to take courses unless I cancel the trail pay 39$ a month and $150 for each class. Why advertise free certification if it’s not free? Won’t give me the option to cancel. Followed the steps, and still won’t let me cancel the 7 day trail until […]

I was working on a UX Designer certification, and I was paying $40 a month for it. The courses were great until one day, all of a sudden, I got on, and all my work and the courses I had finished were missing. It was/is SO difficult to find a way to contact Coursera, and […]

I used to use this fairly regularly when it was all free. I was disappointed to log back in after a while and find that most courses require payment now. I guess I understand it since these are very high quality classes, but for someone who is just learning for fun, I’m now much more […]

Coursera is the worst, do not recommend! I was charged multiple times even though i tried to cancel my account. They offer a free trial, then sneak in payments without notifying you. Most free trials work like this: you get a notification before youre charged. Not only that, but the class i took (for 1 […]

This app is phenomenal. Who needs to pay to learn something when you can do it for free? If you do pay you’re paying for a certification/degree. I love the app and I’m sure it will end up saving me time and money. One thing I wish you could add though is like a “For […]

I have really enjoyed learning on Coursera. Their customer service is a completely different story. I was double charged for a service for over a year. Trying to get a refund is an actual nightmare. The platform is great for learning. Just make sure you check your subscriptions regularly, or you will get to live […]

This app is great. I get to continue from the website to my phone. I don’t know what others are saying about quizzes having just 1 question. I experienced that once and thought I should update the app which fixed it. One downside would be that it doesn’t sync when going into the course. I […]

Following my course was made smooth sailing thanks to this app. Only problems that I had was that the Android version doesn’t sync immediately if I were to continue the course on another device. It can get frustrating if you don’t remember the last video you watched. Another is that the app doesn’t keep track […]

There is so much problem in transaction policies. I had recently enrolled in one of the courses here. I had set autopay options and I have the required amount for the course but it is continuously showing Transaction failed in the app. This is such a problematic situation, I can’t even do the course since […]

I purchased a plus subscription but most of the time the app does recognize the subscription or my enrolled courses. it’s challenging enough to make time to learn, and then you find out the so isn’t working. it is very challenging to get any value out of this is app/subscription when it isn’t working properly […]

Another predatory subscription service. I’ve replaced my credit card twice since I stopped using this app and still got charged. Cancelling and removing my payment (a credit card number I haven’t had for two years) was also difficult and took twenty minutes. For reference, cancelling a Hulu subscription takes me roughly two minutes max. Refunds […]

(Only reviewing the mobile version of Coursera) Could be better. doesn’t do a good job of “capturing notes” and can’t copy and paste notes on mobile. Harder to see the full module, deadlines, and the progress one has made. Could do a better job as a whole, but definitely is convenient if you don’t have […]

This is one of the best online degree apps I’ve used. Huge selection of courses to choose from, & set ur own pace. If you get busy , reset your due dates, it’s that simple. Customer service is exceptional. I can’t wait to start my next class. Coursera is a game changer for getting a […]

I actually love this app, it makes tracking my courses easy. I usually tend to download the entire course on the app and view the content simultaneously while applying on my laptop. However, the last update made the app impossible to use, especially the thing it was designed for, which is tracking courses and viewing […]

The phone app stopped loading any of my courses. I sent a message to them about five days ago with an offer to send screen recordings of what was happening, but I haven’t heard from anyone at all. The only way to see the courses again is to delete the app, reinstall it, but then […]
