Unfortunately, this is very very bad. Nothing works as expected. Everything was out of date, it still is even 6 months after first support email. First support email was a disaster by the way after a reply to a long detailed email just came back with a one line reply with a suggestion that wasn't even spelled correctly. Subsequent communications have been patchy.

It's a shame because this almost has the potential to be very good, and the application itself seems to be good, but the instructions on how to to use are shockingly bad, and the guy speaks very poor english which normally wouldn't be an issue, but it is when working with things like terminal, where spelling amongst other things is crucial.

Downloading and watching on the iPad is a nightmare. The first time, after downloading, none of the videos would start. They were always spinning.
After deleting Udemy, redownloading the app and the videos, it was mostly ok however in the last video, it kept getting stuck at a certain point. Even though the video was fully downloaded. I have to close and restart a few times and then it worked.
