Functionality is good and design is beautiful. However, one minor flaw which affects the User experience quite a bit is that you cannot go to the next or previous video while in Full Screen mode. You have to rotate your phone back to regular (vertical) mode and then hit next or previous for the next (or previous) video lesson. Just something to think about for a future update.

I love the app. However there are some things that I believed to be added or addressed. For one and this is my major issue; you cant zoom in. I have bad vision and this feature is just not there. However on the website you can. The videos especially on the veterinary stuff is hard to understand and even at full screen is barely readable. FIX this and I'll give 5 stars. Thank you guys for making this though. It's awesome for college prep.

"Learn Anything, Anywhere, Anytime For Free." & " ...the world’s largest free online learning and empowerment platform." Am I missing something? Because my experience compared to nearly every other reviewer couldn't be more different. After doing the short questionnaire following signing up I'm taken to a BLANK list of available courses... the only link available is an advertisement for Allison courses at 20% off... And... that's my experience.
