I LOVE the Alison curriculum. However, I downloaded the app to learn on the go when I don't have my laptop on me, and the app is not user-friendly at all. It's overall buggy, there are multiple intrusive ads, and perhaps the worst part is when I'm doing checkpoints and tests, they don't show me the entire question. I am learning about floristry and during the testing they only show me part of the sentence instead of the full question. It's extremely frustrating.

Good:) edited, the courses are still admirable but now it's minor discrepancies like, when I get the answer wrong, it doesn't show me the right responses (before the final exam), like the prior version did. Henceforth, I'm not able to download nor forward my criteria and certifications that were completed to my digital profiles. Finally, the update is a little off putting vs. the prior app installment, I prefer to excel with more content than videos IMO! Ty for reading folks and enjoy.

Alison is an amazing platform for learning! The courses are comprehensive, engaging, and free! I've taken several courses and have been impressed with the quality of the content. The app is also user-friendly, and the certificate of completion is a great motivator. Highly recommend Alison for anyone looking to upskill or reskill!
