Surprised it took this long

Thanks for finally releasing a native iOS app. I feel like the lack of a mobile app has hindered my use of the site in the past. This is perfect as well. Not a bloated or flashy app and allows you to download lessons

Thanks so much for your kind words. Apologies that it took a long time—turns out it's quite hard to build a native app =)

Thanks

Surprised

I am surprised that an actual app from Raywenderlich would be this bad and limited.

I forced myself to buy the pro subscription due to internet issues from raywenderliches websites end so that I could download the videos and continue watching... but most of the time downloads do not even start and instead whirl around forever if selecting the option to download the entire video course. And selecting each video one by one is a huge pain due the interactive boxes for the buttons being way to small causing many taps to start the video instead of downloading. It also doesnt help that theres the built in mini game where you have to avoid touching when the download button flashes into a warning image.

Simple useful UI is missing that is available from their site as well, such as learning paths.

Videos lists fail to show in the Library tab and the search their is also fairly bad as it jumps around while searching.

Small gripe... Why was the default for video speed set to 1.5? Took me a while to figure out it was not a bug but instead something I could change via a setting cog in one of the three tabs...

All in all gives me less trust for the very videos that teach how to build apps like this.

It’s great when it works but.....

On a iPhone 8 Plus with WiFi I was able to login but the videos won’t populate unless I switch tabs a few times.

On a iPhone 7 on WiFi I was able to login but never got passed a loading screen that came after entering information. After Deleting and reinstalling the app I still get the same loading screen
