Pros

“We run online courses in nautical education and certification, and until recently we were very satisfied with the platform.”

Marcus H.

CEO

“Overall, LearnDash served its purpose well for our training programs — it’s affordable, reliable for smaller deployments, and easy to navigate for learners and admins.”

Kristina B.

Director of Marketing

“The course builder is simple, and I love how customizable it is with features like quizzes, drip content, and certificates.”

Bala K.

Marketing manager

Cons

“Based on our current experience, we cannot recommend LearnDash to businesses that rely on their LMS for commercial operations.”

Marcus H.

CEO

“What makes this even more disappointing is the lack of proactive communication.”

Marcus H.

CEO

“We were happy LearnDash customers for several years, which makes this situation especially disappointing.”

Marcus H.

CEO

Cons

“Sadly, any videos embedded via Vimeo, Youtube, Wistia etc won't be visible via the mobile app, necessitating either uploading videos to Gurucan's service (extremely poor, requiring multiple attempts at uploading), or transcribing your lesson to their text fields (acceptable.”

Theo P.

Founder

“Also the "trial" for courses (when you offer them part of the course for free) should be improved, the purpose of the trial is for them to get to know the content, but they can't see what's not included in the "paid course" so they won't be motivated to buy.”

Andres V.

Entrepreneur

“The software it's not fully mature (by the time I'm writing this review but they are working hard to become an amazing software), so far my biggest complain would be the loading speed it's not so great and the way you can design the landing pages or the appearance of the courses is kind of basic but functional.”
