What users complain about in Teachable online courses

OTP Login is broken

The codes they email won’t work. Login is broken.

Pathetic login

In iphone after entering email, it asks to put the verification code but does not remove the keypad so we cannot enter

Login in terrible

I hate this app so much every time I try to login on my mobile device it makes me verify with my email and I give it the code that it sends me and it just fails telling me no. To solve this, I simply just have to completely close the app and open it and maybe try the code one more time and then close and open the app again it’s so stupid. It’s so poorly coded. Just let me use my password. Two factor authentication is meant to be done once in a while to verify my device this is the same device.

I loved this app until today!!

I tried to login to my classes today and got a notice that they could not retrieve my classes. I tried on and off throughout the day. Now home from work and tried to login several times and it says that it sent an email with a code….nope, no code, checked spam, checked garbage, searched current mail! Nothing!! And trying to get help, well that was useless! Went and read a lot of the poor reviews and it looks like those of us using iPad or iPhone are all in the same one or two star boat. I have had no response from developer. I loved the app when I first started using it but once I started having problems I would not recommend as I can’t pull up my classes.

Today I lost access to all courses

This app is typically hit or miss but today I logged on to discover I could not access ANY of my courses across ALL of my devices. This is entirely unacceptable, as I use courses on Teachable to help with my own lesson plans for my students. I will never support this platform again and I recommend that, if possible, you find your courses elsewhere. The frustrating part is that I have already paid a pretty penny for these courses so I must continue to use this awful platform. Terrible.

Logs you out every time, pointless as an app

Better to use safari because app always logs you out, benefit of using app is easier access, this makes it harder

Won’t display content

App won’t display content. Logged out and back in. Deleted and reinstalled. Shows my schools but when you click into one there is no content. App is worthless. Why is it even downloadable.

Makes repeat learning more difficult than it needs to be.

Great for first-time course consumption, but frustrating for repeat learners. There’s no way to reset progress or cleanly restart a course, which makes deliberate re-study and implementation harder than it should be. This is a major limitation for anyone serious about actually applying what they’ve learned.

No password option

Need to be able to log into the iOS app with a password. I've been sitting here waiting for the login code to be emailed for 10 minutes now. This is the correct email address that logs me with a password on the web, and I’ve checked spam, etc., and no dice. So I'm effectively locked out of the app. Email-only login systems are hot garbage

Downloads feature broken after last update

Ever since the upgrade ( when you changed the icon ) a few months ago, the downloads feature is not working. This is pretty frustrating as I used this feature flawlessly for years. Please restore this feature.

Always freezes, basically useless

So frustrating, I can’t use the app on my phone. The app just locks up. I wish the course I signed up for used a different program.

Trash!

The app is TRASH! Videos don’t autoplay and when I tried to submit “feedback”, my message won’t send. Deleting app

Glitchy

Always needs to be connected it seems - glitches on slow connections, so not awesome in the far paddock. 😃

Offline?

What’s the point of downloading if you can’t use offline as claimed? Am I missing something?

Crashes when downloading lessons.

I like the app, but starting mid September the app crashes any time you try to download a lesson. It does this both on my iPhone 16 pro max and iPad Pro M4. I’ve submitted several bug reports over the last few weeks. They have no Bug tracker or any way to get feedback from them to know if the issue is being worked on, or even on their radar. Pretty frustrating. You have a good product, just fix it guys.

Teachable – Instant crash when I tap the download icon

iPhone 16 Pro & iPad mini 7, iOS 26.0.1, latest app build. The moment I touch the download icon the app force-quits—no dialog, no spinner, just straight to the Home screen. Every course, every lesson, 100 % reproducible. Offline studying is impossible until this is fixed; please ship a hot-update ASAP.

Doesn’t open on iPhone

App just opens to logo. Has nothing to do with my os or anything on my end. Been waiting on customer support interminably. The most frustrating company to deal with; terrible software.

Downloads not available offline?

Why download if the content cannot be reached offline? Is this a creator option that block offline use. The whole point for me was availability when traveling on longhauls. Maybe because this creator has a monthly option but I bought whole courses?

Terrible app

It is not allowing screencast to my tv, not even via hdmi connection. It’s a paid course, why block the user? Terrible.

Creepy Notifications

This app feels creepy the way it tried to get you back. I just straight up deleted the app. I suggest anyone reading this to do the same. What else are you tracking about me??? Rethink your strategy because you are going to lose a lot of people just like me
