i said in last without python how i will become a data science or data analyst.

I’ve been taking courses through the Simplilearn platform for the past 3 years.
For near a year the app crashed regularly, wasn’t available for long periods and wasn’t able to connect to download content offline.

The content appears to be easier to search and more stable in Q1 2021. I’m giving the course work another shot before I leave the platform for another online option.

Simplilearn is very great and has a very user friendly interface. They are not just delivering the best in regards to impacting knowledge but also very considerate enough to make the basics of courses you will like to take free. I feel that’s the best online learning experience have ever had. Also, Simplilearn has this trait of keeping you on your toes on completing your course. That’s a kudos.

Unfortunately I believed what this app is offering and I made a big mistake of sharing their link with most of the social media groups that I’m involved to find at the end that they are just fake marketers using a very unprofessional bait and switch after spending my time taking the 10 exams in the course they don’t and will not give me my certificate except if I pay 750 usd so don’t believe them and waist your valuable time with them

I am a very serious life long learner and love the idea of maximizing my time. This tool is the one to have if you are serious about continuous learning. It's on my iPhone, iPad, Surface, Kindle, and HP laptop. I take it with me everywhere I go, and learn something new everyday.
Note: Please be intelligent enough to know that just because your technology isn't agile enough to run this tool does NOT make the tool "useless". Simplilearn is ingenious!

I am taking courses on Digital Marketing and ironically I cannot take them on my mobile phone. I have to login to the laptop to take tests. Nevertheless you can download course videos on to your phone so you could see them on the go. I downloaded these videos while connected to wifi. Strangely this app used 1.9GB of my cellular data overnight. You can see which app is using the data in settings. Most apps warn you about downloading on cellular data before hand. This gave no warnings.

It's named ironically: it's not Simple and all you learn is the courses weren't written by native English speakers.

The English in the courses is SO POOR as to make it INCOMPREHENSIBLE, you can't navigate the site, and getting your certificate after completion is like trying to get congress or parliament to do something right...impossible.

The "lessons" are about 30 seconds to 2 minutes each. You'd be better off getting a second grader to read your textbook for you.

Bottom line : RIP OFF. Then they have the Indians rate them at 5 stars and write glowing reviews...in very poor English.

The usability bugs and design errors in this app make it difficult to use for its intended purpose of remote study. The app constantly crashes during mobile playback of video. The buttons are so tiny that having the app do what you intended is a gamble. When playing sections of a chapter, the volume gets reset to off. Summary sections with html get a warning that it's best to view on desktop, defeating the very purpose of this app; it's 2016 and time for course material to properly support mobile.

It's great that a mobile study app is offered but ultimately misleading since it works so poorly during actual use.

One of the worst organization i have dealt with,
I t they send fake promotion, their training material does not cover the body of knowledge and is poorly structured, ( lean six sigma black belt training experience).

Not to mention that their office in india will be calling you 7 times a day to try to sell you an exam voucher that you can buy online for 1.5 times higher the regular online available price. Their simulation exams is nothing like the real test. Go read the money back guarantee terms and conditions to understand how of much of a scam it is.

I strongly recommend that you never deal with this website/App.

I am running iOS 10.1.1 and the latest version of Simplilearn's app (v6.01) on an iPhone 6. I receive the error "check your internet connection" every time I attempt to login to the app with my LinkedIn account. My internet connection is fine each time -- after deleting and reinstalling the app, the issue continues. This issue was the same using the last version of iOS 9. The update to iOS 10 was a hope to resolve this issue. This is annoying when I want to continue my training outside of my home. The app has never worked for me. When I reach out to SimpliLearn's support -- they keep sending me the LMS desktop link. Not helpful.

I joined SimpliLearn in January this year. The desktop version runs fine in Chrome or MS Edge. I have enjoyed the ebooks and training courses while working on my CompTIA and Cisco certification packages (A+ completed, almost done with Net+, then on to RedHat and CCNA bundles). The desktop site contains minimal bugs and is relatively user friendly.

From what I have heard and experienced so far, the training content is watered down compared to the exams. Don't expect the ebooks and training material (glorified PowerPoints) to be enough for you to pass any of the tougher exams. However, they do give you the information for good starting points when it comes to real-world application and execution. Depending on the field of courses you are taking -- if you are already in the IT field then being able to work on the material IRL helps complete your training and passing the exams.

My main complaint with SimpliLearn is regarding their non-working app. When I complete the trainings I have already paid for, I will be considering Udemy or another competitor for continued training. I want a robust product, not a half complete after-thought.

I have an iPhone X but I still can’t hear anything

Stuck downloading/install, no way to contact the developer to fix it.

The app doesn’t sync so when I log in via my PC my progress isn’t updated

After finishing the course the progress bar still in 0% and i cannot obtain my cert.

The app keeps crushing and breaking connection no matter how many times I have reinstalled it…

You cannot see any font . I cannot use mobile browser anyway! I have to use laptop to learn. What next ?

Besides listening to the English language being butchered, the quiz format is two questions between videos. Just post the quizzes after the videos. Geez

You can’t go from computer to the app on mobile devices because it doesn’t start where you last left off at. It will only start from where you were on the app.

Purchased course with validity of 180 days. Two days already wasted but cant even access the course. The support team is deaf and blind.
Planning to get refund.

Good and bad experience. Once you’re done with the free courses, there is no way you’re gonna get a certification and no one to ask questions abt it ‍♂️‍♂️

Paid for a class that I had to request information to receive the training on. Then couldn’t get a refund. You’re better off going through a college or a university.

The mobile app is unable to play videos or download lessons. I talked with tech support, which offered no suggestions other than un/reinstall the app and try again, unfortunately with no success.

The app seems functional for the self learning videos and other content but from the best I can tell there is no way to watch previous live classes. Is this only a PC feature? Disappointing if so.

Class never loaded and the refused a refund saying “I can see it from my end.” 15 emails later and still no class and no refund. At this point I still email them just to see how many different excuses they can come up with.

I signed up for the Digital Marketing certificate and the teacher and all students were from India it was difficult to understand especially when they used references from their country. I stopped the course after 2 Sessions. They would not reimburse not even a percentage

Mobile app is full of bugs poor user experience. The instructor and content of the lessons are good though. The web version on mobile does not allow sign in... same quiz has been shown again and again and even with 100% correct answers the next episode still doesn't show... overall very bad app and not recommended using it.

Was enjoying this app as I signed up for a course via a local university. Had been taking the course over the last 6 months, but through this last update a few days ago, I’ve lost all of my data. It doesn’t show any history of the course. I’ve reached out to customer support and they are looking into it, but still frustrating as I paid $2k for the online course.
