The Courses are great. App not so good

The lectures in The Great Courses Plus are superb. If I was rating the app on the course content alone I would give it 5 stars. The app itself though has many bugs. The main one is that it does not automatically play the next lecture in the course that you are listening to. This is annoying, particularly if you are listening while driving. I have turned Autoplay Next Lecture on in the settings and turned off Stream Only on WiFi but it makes no difference. I have also downloaded the latest version of the app (5.2.2) hoping this bug would be fixed but it is still occurring. Other bugs are it often loses track of where you are up to in a lecture and goes back to the beginning. It sometimes loses track of which lectures you have already listened to and marks them as unplayed. It doesn’t pause the lecture when a phone call comes in. And the Play Controls when your phone is locked don’t include the 15 second rewind button or the 30 second advance button. Hopefully this app will be improved soon. I love the actual courses.
Great courses, Not so great App

Wonderful range of course material, subscription model is great for knowledge hungry individuals. However the app has several notable short coming I do hope they address sooner rather than later. Browsing courses is very clunky, generally and even when save to downloads or watch list there is no practical option for sorting the courses. Streaming is terrible and I rely heavily on downloading lectures. And there is no course material available, which is annoying when it is referred to in the lecture. Otherwise, I’m happy to see this content available and would like to see it continue to be updated.
Great courses, app is the worst though

The app interface looks clunky and very dated. Constantly freezes, then crashes and starts the course from 0:00, am unable to skip forward at all. Very unstable connection to Chromecast Ultra. Have very fast broadband connection, so that’s not the issue here. How such an expensive subscription service can release such a crappy app is beyond me. Invest some money in better engineers and coders, this is really not worth spending the money on when the app is so unreliable!Running latest iOS 13.4.1 on iPhone 7 Plus and iPad Air 2. Casting to TV via Chromecast Ultra. 2 stars for now until I see a major overhaul of the app.
