Pros and cons of edX: Courses by Harvard & MIT app for iPhone and iPad
edX: Courses by Harvard & MIT app good for
Can we only watch video in mobiles? What about other functionalities - texts/surveys/check-ins/assessments etc? Other than that great app - already downloaded a course!
Hello, the app is great but closed captions (subtitles) cannot display HTML, so all kinds of &#nnnn; texts are being displayed. Please convert HTML to Unicode before showing subtitles. Thanks a lot.
You must wait till download completion and keep the phone awake, otherwise youll lose all progress
Perhaps, it is a problem of ios 9.2 beta, or iphone 5, but after the last update there is no way to see videos.
* All my downloads are broken
* The app says, that you should turn device to see a video, but nothing happens
Though, you may see lectures online (there are links to download in courses) via standard video player, and if you do this, you can rotate device to the left, or to the right (in the past only rotate to the right worked).
Hi everyone, I also was with this problem to solve it you need to delete the app and download it again, the only thing bad is if you downloaded videos youll have to do it again
I had the same problem after the new update...couldnt login and the app would shut off. I took someones suggestion to delete the app, then downloaded it again. It started as it should have. So far Im having no issues with it.
Some bad moments
I downloaded the app because I cant always work on my laptop as I move a lot. It doesnt work well, I cannot access to most of my courses (which are mobile friendly), and I cannot enroll other courses also mobile friendly.. Hope to use the app soon though!!
Previous version was great. Now its impossible to see a video. The player doesnt work.
iOS 9.1 iPhone 5s
Only limited set of courses available on mobile platforms. And app is iPhone only :-(
No comparison to Coursera app...
App does not allow me to login, even though username/password is correct (works on website).
I was glad when this originally came out but am disappointed as to how limited I am with this app. I can only watch my videos and not complete assignments. Therefore, I think I will stick to the Internet.
Please, make version for iPad , why you ignoring this device ? It is more convenient for video and text then iPhone .
