This is the most incredible learning resource I have seen anywhere, any time, bar none. During the 15+ years I have subscribed, the course list has expanded exponentially. Most of the negative reviews I have read are about annoying glitches that I attribute to growing pains of the platform. I am willing to put up with that, given the value of the app. I am a photographer. What started out as a great resource for Photoshop and Lightroom has grown to cover photographic techniques, gear, principles, business aspects (Quickbooks), creating portfolios, marketing, and on and on. At various times over the years when money was tight, I did without some other things rather than let my Lynda subscription lapse. One of the many things I have always liked is that older videos are not removed when a new product video appears. Therefore I am not forced into always buying the latest and greatest. For example I can still view the entire course on Photoshop CS4 if I am still using that version of the software. All this and yet no obtrusive ads or popup videos to dilute the experience. Thanks Lynda and keep up the good work.

I’ve tried to expand my knowledge of media via a variety of online outlets. Lynda’s content and video quality far exceeds other avenues I’ve tried. Each course is extremely practical. The only glitch I’ve noticed is sometimes when I’ve completed a course, the site won’t recognize it’s been completed and erases the record of me watching a particular segment. I have to go back to that segment and go through it again, sometimes with more than one segment, and that can be a little annoying. Overall though, I HIGHLY recommend this as a learning platform, and I require all my interns to sign up so they’ll also have this resource at their disposal.

There seems to be an issue with the back button and the done button overlapping each other while playing a video. Also when trying to select it nothing happens which doesn’t allow me to go back to select a different video or course. I have to exit the app all together and re open the app and course I’m trying to get to. Other than that I have no issues. This app is a great tool to get some extra help on the programs I am currently enrolled in at school.

Great too! You should have access to it, and learn, learn and learn. Lynda is the best tool I’ve ever had. I download my courses so I can keep track of it when I’m traveling, and the best using it off line. The certifications are great! Everyone that teaches you are very professional and has lots of knowledge. You can find any content, at any time and it always update. I’m in IT, but also love the Leadership, management, videos. Great Job Lynda!

Lynda offers apps for iOS, AppleTV and Roku, and this iOS app is able to Chromecast to my AndroidTV as well, giving me several options to watch class videos on the big screen, unlike LinkedLearning, which has no apps for any smart TV or streaming device, and the cast to AndroidTV feature never works. I still like Lynda way better than LinkedIn Learning.
