"Sell online courses and keep all your money"
What do you like best about Learndash?

You pay once for the software and you have the opportunity to use is for unlimited courses. It integrates will with Wordpress, which is a great plus.

What do you dislike about Learndash?

You have to host this on Wordpress, so if you're not comfortable using wordpress it will be a challenge. It can be a bit complicated to know how to put things in the right order, but if you take time to learn it, it becomes easy. Because it is self hosted, it is essential that you keep your website very secure.

What problems is Learndash solving and how is that benefiting you?

Making money by selling your knowledge. I have been able to sell online courses and make additional income

"A bit clunky but some things like couponing work well."
What do you like best about Learndash?

Lots of ways to do common things like couponing.

What do you dislike about Learndash?

Some things like course bundling and shopping carts are unnecessarily complex; and when integrated into CMSs, it is hard to track class enrollments with an external tool like GTM because everything is hidden in LD classes and course codes.

What problems is Learndash solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using it to manage a clients online course enrollment.

There is no logical sequence to putting up the course and the training videos are TERRIBLE

What problems is Learndash solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have realized no benefits

"Boeing 737 Max"
What do you like best about Learndash?

Learndash is like the Boeing 737 Max, it gives a good idea of how flying feels. Yet boarding and crossing fingers hoping nothing will ever happen is probably not such a relaxed way of traveling. The best thing is that one knows exactly what to look for in other airplanes.

What do you dislike about Learndash?

Again, like the Boeing 737 Max, it is probably a good product when it is working properly. In our case re-login for students was impossible. Students/customers could easily purchase the product and register. Yet once logged out and trying to log in the whole process needed to be repeated all over again, sometimes including payment (...)

What problems is Learndash solving and how is that benefiting you?

The support team is trying for 2 weeks (!!!) to get the login/logout issue fixed and leaving us in the meantime completely in the dark. Every 2/3 days we have to for a status report and all we get is a thank you for our patience. Needless to say that the only benefit we experience that this issue did happen BEFORE we brought our course on the market. Any entrepreneur or business owner can imagine what this would do for a company AFTER bringing on the market.

What do you like best about Learndash?

has a lot of features but you have to be familiar with wordpress and web master to manage it.

What do you dislike about Learndash?

Not user friendly. you have to be familiar with wordpress and web master to manage it. A regular user can't use this system at all.
