Reviews

Consider adding speed adjuster

Apple, please consider adding a tool that would let me increase the speed of the video like youtube. I am very grateful for the thought and access to free education but for someone's who's gotten sued to 2x the speed for educational videos, this feels laborious experience. This is the only complaint I have toward the app

One thing about the grade levels

Not able to change speed?

I listen to YouTube at 1.5 or 1.75x speed as it Saves time. I will never look at videos in this app if I can’t change speed. Please update this easy addition.

“KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!”

I absolutely love this app. The wealth of knowledge accessible at the touch of a button is an EXCEPTIONAL TOOL, and I am so grateful for it!! There really is no excuse for ‘I don’t know’, when u have the education right here to fix that! THANK YOU, Apple!!💕👍🏼🤓

Buggy as all get out

I can’t write a review for a course. I can’t actually download the course content. I’ve tried downloading every individual item manually and using the “auto download” options to no avail
