Pluralsight: Learn Tech Skills 4+

Happy and Inspired

I could not exist happy and inspired without your video training. The feeling of becoming educated fills me with inspiration and excitement for the possibilities ahead. If the project requires it, I will read a manual end to end. I do not however, retain information in the same way as when I see it demonstrated. I went to a four-year college and graduated with honors but I have learned more from your videos than I did with a traditional education, and all without testing. I have been watching your tutorials for at least 10 years now. I am almost to the point with Maya where I can create what I see in my mind’s eye, and then composite it in Nuke. It is one of the most exciting artistic peaks of my life. I recommend your company to all of my friends who are entertaining learning a new piece of software.

Lately, I have been enjoying the courses which show a variety professional effects like, Maya Dynamics: Common Effects Techniques because they show sophisticated situations that light a creative fire, as opposed to more basic demonstrations. Right now, I wish there were more courses on dynamics such as fluids and particles. I have watched all of what is available in that category.

Thank you for taking chances on bright teachers and investing in them for all of us.

Hi Jesse - Thanks for reaching out and we're really humbled by what you shared. It's wonderful that you've been with us for ten years (thank you for that) but the most exciting part of what you shared was how passionate you are about developing your skills further and that you share that passion with others. Folks like you are why we do what we do and we're committed to do providing the best content and applications that we possibly can.

Thank you again for your kind words and we'll pass that content request to our curriculum team.

Cinema 4D?

Am I missing something? So far, both the website and the app are really frustrating. If I do a search for Cinema 4D, I get a message saying that nothing is found. If I do a google search for “pluralsight Cinema 4D” quite a few courses pop up, although they are mostly outdated. With the app and website if I do a search for related courses, I get a long list of search results that have NOTHING to do with Cinema 4D or 3D design. The player doesn’t work, either. I can’t skip ahead to the next class or watch anything other the first video. I know this is a free trial, but I can’t watch anything because I get a message saying I’m not authorized to watch the video. I received the confirmation email saying I have access 200 minutes of courses; so what gives? Plus, when I click on almost anything in the entire app or website, I’m logged out and majority of the time it won’t let me log back in. I’ve never felt the need to write a bad review over a free trial, but this is too frustrating to continue any further. Clearly it wouldn’t be worth paying for the service when the trial ends; at least for me. However, it does seem that most people like Pluralsight. It just seemed better when it was “digital tutors.” 🤷🏽‍♂️

Access to course history and bookmark

I normally access the site thru the web. And I have many classes saved in bookmarks and I also continue where I left off my classes by using the course history. Since the app does not offer either view. I had trouble finding the last class I was taking. Please fix this! Thanks!

UPDATE: I received a response from the developer for this issue. I later realized that my LTE connection was slow when I launched the app which caused the history and bookmark not showing up. A suggestion for the dev - if bookmarks and history cannot be launched on the “home” tab due to network issues, please add some UI hints so that users would know that these are not available due to network. And thanks again for the quick response!

Hi Youhong - Thanks for the feedback. The app offers both bookmarks and course history. Your recent courses are shown first in the app when you are online. If you only see downloads on your homescreen you are either offline or force close the app and reopen if you believe that you do have a connection. Your bookmarks also load on the homescreen of the app when you are online. Either scroll through the carousel or tap on the heading labeled "Bookmarks" to see all of your bookmarks in a list.

Additionally, you can see all of your completed courses if you navigate to settings, tap on your name, and scroll down to completed courses.

Hope this helps. If you are still unable to locate these items please feel free to reach out to us at iOSfeedback@pluralsight.com. Thanks!
