Udacity - Lifelong Learning for Android
The video playback constantly auto-plays. This is a problem when attempting to navigate to previous quizzes. When hitting the "back" button to attempt to get to the quiz navigation screen, the current video will begin to play, again. Ever attempt to leave the video results in the video simply restarting.
I love the Udacity but this application is very buggy. I observed problems with switching between portrait and album modes on Samsung Galaxy S6 (with old player) and Note8 (with new player). I observed problems with simultaneous download of more than one lesson on both devices. When I tried to download one huge (many videos) lesson, such a download failed almost all the time. On Samsung Galaxy Note8 new player stretches and squeezes video in portrait and in album modes to the degree when it is very uncomfortable to perceive information. I suggest the developers to test their application on Samsung Galaxy Note8 to understand the degree of "unusability" of this application on this device and, of course, fix all the major problems.
It's great - but can't you make a way to download all the files such as zips, PDFs, HTMLs & others as a single archive? I usually take nanodegrees when I go off for holidays where I don't have an internet connection.
I'm sure udacity's courses are very nice, but this app simply isn't the way to go, the preload function doesn't really work and ignores quizzes entirely, the navigation is pretty bad as the app forgets where you stopped last and switching between portrait and landscape reload videos, the app also seems to ignore WiFi completely making this application useless in any form of public transport
I had enrolled in 6-7 courses and downloaded all the coures offline but all of sudden its showing No Enrollments...Plz fix...
Please help me i am unable to login using the udacity app to my Google account, the error is :- Error 403 Error: disallowed_useragent This user agent is not authorised to make am OAuth authorisation request to Google as it is classified as an embedded user-agent (webview).... Please help ASAP, problem persists across updates also. Currently on latest version... Contact me further if any information required.
Has a problem with keeping the screen on for hours even when not playing a video.
Links to youtube. This app is unnecessary and HUGE.
why videos in this app is load very slow ?
Im nee to it... Will make comment after a month
no way to share courses
Great app but could you please make the quizzes downloadable?
They have the best content but the app is not up to the mark
The videos are loaded slowly,make it more easy to use.
More suitable for ppl who want to learn about technology
The quality of teaching and included materials is great! Keep it up!
Excellent:)
good
All the videos are hosted in youtube which has been blocked in 80% of the companies. It would be good if the videos are hosted in their own server.
Great App To Learn Technologies.
The classes are good, but the app is really bad. Index of the class components is difficult to browse and I sometimes find it difficult to identify where in the course I am. Skipping chapters can be tedious as well as you may need to watch something you have seen before.... App is not doing a very good job at remembering were you left of.
I have been using this app for quite some time now but with the latest update I have been facing huge sync issues. My courses' progress isn't being saved at all when I am on my phone. Signing into the Web and then relaunching the app on the phone a couple of times seems to sync things again. Please fix this at the earliest.
It's all ok about udacity. There are some problems when running videos in HQ mode. Playback is stopping abnormally. Please fix these. Also add more free courses. Those courses selected for nanodegree, also provide free courses of that syllabus. To buy all courses aren't possible. Please look at this matter. It's a really helpful app
Video rotation seems to keep place now, thanks. The only bug I'm having is an exercise not registering as finished, so the lesson always opens up to one place. Occurred in Developing Android Apps, Lesson 10, Exercise 20 on mobilen only. Ex 20 would never finish, but going to website worked and it keeps place correctly.
Great content but the app sucks.. Too much lag while changing orientation and has a clumsy interface especially during quizzes. I hope it can be fixed soon.
It's a great tool to have on my phone. The Udacity app feels a bit clunky, but it's probably because it's a lot of information on a small screen. I mostly use the app to chat with my mentor.
Video doesn't let you move back or forward just stays in the spot even when the progress bar is different. Text doesn't show on certain screens due to not completely scrolling. Content is good but the app is really bad for a place that teaches software.
Please fix the download issue. The content takes forever to download. It eventually doesn't and you have to try again. It cost me 1 GB of Cellular data without notification and no result. I haven't been able to download anything for the last 3 updates of the app. It didn't work in 4 devices.
It is best to show progress when downloading offline content. Don't know if it is malfunction or download is simply ongoing when the progess bar is kept loading for a while.
It works very bad on slow speed connection even on this same network, web version can work well
Greate app. Excet an big mistake that download lectures dont download wideo content concerning the questions.
Very bad app design, especially on tablet. Content is good so rather use the web
love the app!. I had a technical problem and you fixed that right up. thank you very much!!
The problem is, when i finish a concept or a quiz, then go to next concept, previous concept still uncheck or uncomplete
great app my only problem is it won't mark videos and quizzes as complete after I have done them.
Good. But doesn't always download to SD card. Also, in split screen mode video playback stops when typing in another window which changes window size temporarily (other video apps like YouTube behave fine).
Decent App with bugs. As others have mentioned, progress doesn't always update. Works fine in browser, but through the app it doesn't track it. Can't submit quiz answers, just get an "error. Retry later". Once those are fixed, it'll be a good app.
The mentor chat never works and offline download doesn't download quizzes and associated videos which is often more than half the lecture.
i hope you can add ultra low for the videos, as its not running smooth on 100K/s home wifi

The phone app is okay, but the tablet app is really bad. It doesn't always respect the rotation and constantly returns errors when going between videos. When a quiz pops up it will first go into portrait mode and then back to landscape mode which is pretty jarring. The worst part is that when in landscape mode, the navigation within each chapter is completely broken and unavailable. You have to leave portrait mode to navigate the videos. The content and delivery is okay, but the app just feels broken on the tablet. Edit: The more I use this app on my tablet the more I hate it. It's actually astonishingly bad. Hitting back on the menu is inconsistent. Sometimes if you're lucky it'll go back. Other times it does this aggravating restart of the video instead. The navigation is just so bad it makes the app near unusable. Content and quality is good, but navigation is the worst I've seen in any app.
