This is a useful app if you don’t want to watch classes in your web browser, but you must have WiFi for the app to be of any use. I “downloaded” classes in the app before an extended camping trip, anticipating a lack of WiFi. Much to my surprise, when I tried to open it to view the classes I had “downloaded”, I got a sign-in screen. You can’t sign in without WiFi. When I contacted support about the matter, I received instructions to enable data usage on my phone, but I’m not using my phone! My iPad doesn’t have cellular data, also, most of the time if I don’t have WiFi I also don’t have a cell signal on my phone. The the app response to this problem: “ If your Ipad does not allow date (data) usage, then you will indeed need WiFi in order to use the app! Apologies!” The other annoying issue I have, which also applies to the classes online, is that when you stop a lesson part way through it doesn’t resume where you left off. You have to fast forward through the part you already saw, or watch it all over again.

This app is simply an app-ified interface to the content available online; as such, I’ll attempt to leave my opinion of the content itself to another venue. The app, while visually smooth, is lacking in basic features one would expect for a paid subscription service - such as account management (which I suspect may be a calculated move to complicate cancelling subscription or auto-renewal) and help resources. There’s not a mention or a link to be found to the fully featured webpage. Navigating the app requires constant clicking to view info that ought to be presented up front; there’s no way to identify if an offering is a 2-minute blurb or an actual full multi-hour course without opening the full details; same goes for bookmarking. There’s not even a way to view the multi-course curriculum paths that are available online, which is one of the core features of the whole system! A quick note on the content... the legacy stuff is good, wonderful multi-hour courses that build on earlier lessons step by step, appealing for beginners and experienced alike. I could do without the YouTube-style commentary and 5-minute shorts though... In short: The app serves it purpose, allowing users to view content on their device. I wouldn’t recommend it standalone; be sure to make use of the full feature set on the webpage.

My background is mostly art and a little bit crafty, and this app has enough of both to suit me. I adore the daily challenges every month. It gives me the extra motivating push to do just a little something creative every day when I might not be motivated enough on my own to do so. I love learning new techniques and learning about new products the instructors use. The community of artists and crafters is lovely too. I’ve connected with several new friends on instagram through the app while sharing artwork. And live shoots twice weekly give us a chance to ask questions and chat with instructors and each other in the comments. Love this place!

These classes are great, I find myself watching the entire course in one day. However, I think it would be nice if the videos would start back up where you left off instead of starting completely over. You're having to remember where you stopped watching and fast forward. I was also looking for polymer clay classes but there were none. But still have tons of selection and the teachers are great and very clear with direction
