"As a retired history teacher, I’ve collected The Great Courses on DVD for years, but this app is a complete game-changer. I can now take my entire library to our summer cabin and watch lectures on my iPad without any clutter. The academic rigor is exactly what I crave, and I love that I can dive deep into ancient civilizations without the pressure of exams or grades."

Robert H., Retired Educator

"The ability to seamlessly toggle between video at home and audio during my morning commute is brilliant. I’ve tried countless educational podcasts, but nothing matches the depth and authority of these professors. It turns my daily traffic jam into a fascinating masterclass in astrophysics. Truly the best investment for anyone who values lifelong learning."
