"Take the headaches out of course creation!"
What do you like best about Thinkific Plus?

How easy it is to create a course and get everything up and running! No more worrying about technical development - we can just focus on making great courses.

What do you dislike about Thinkific Plus?

I wish the "landing pages" had more customization, or that instead the system would let you just point to page on your own website. We end up building our landing pages on our Wordpress website because we have more control/options, but if we want to use the affiliate functionality, then we have to use a workaround of having the Thinkific landing page "redirect" to our Wordpress landing page, which makes for an awkward experience for the end user because they start out on one page, and 3 seconds later get redirected to another page.

What problems is Thinkific Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were using a custom-built course platform on Word, and there was SO MUCH work involved, and constant development needed, that it made it very hard to focus on just creating great content. Then we switched to Thinkific and it has been so much easier - for us AND our students. The course builder is super easy to use, the format works really well for us and our students, and now we can really put our energy into making great courses.

"Uncomplicated - It's a Positive & a Negative"
What do you like best about Thinkific Plus?

Thinkific provides relatively few choices for designing your courses and site, which makes for an uncomplicated process. If you have several courses it's fairly easy to learn and apply. It's great to be able to copy a lesson and then The instructions in Help are straightforward in most instances.Support can offer thoughtful work-arounds to frustrating issues.

What do you dislike about Thinkific Plus?

If you're used to greater choice in design, reporting and search functions Thinkific's limitations are frustrating. Uploading content is minimal and would be a welcome addition. We contacted html-coding freelancers to improve our site and would have preferred to have options to make these changes ourselves. Support usually only gives basic answers even if you are prepared to do extra work. They don't seem to have a knowledge base to review as I've had different answers to the same question.

What problems is Thinkific Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Thinkific offers an effective online platform that is affordable for a start-up. Customers find it workable.

"Easy Peasy Thinkific "
What do you like best about Thinkific Plus?

Thinkific is a easy course creation platform that any beginner can use to create courses for their online school. I like the simplicity of creating modules, uploading video's, images and PDFs. Since it’s annoucements on the change of price plans I think it’s a great direction to go. Love the fact there’s now zero commission taken by Thinkific on plans and the limitations on the amount of courses available on the free plan is great. This way people using the platform for free can focus on creating content that’s packed with value rather that just getting as many courses created. Quality over quantity.

What do you dislike about Thinkific Plus?

My only dislike is the limit on the size of the uploaded videos, too much time is wasted waiting on the upload to then be told it's too large.

What problems is Thinkific Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm able to create courses at super speed to get out to my learners. Saves me time, educates my audience and helps to build my brands online credibility.

"Best Online Learning Platform"
What do you like best about Thinkific Plus?

Thinkific brings beautifully simple course creation. Easy to use. Drag and drop building makes it a breeze to put together an online course in such a short period of time. Customer service is outstanding. They are very responsive to answering questions and having tons of webinars to get you started.

What do you dislike about Thinkific Plus?

Such features could use updating. Some custom templates could use updating as well as now they only have three templates to choose from. Branding options could be stronger and an integration of live webinars would be an outstanding addition!

What problems is Thinkific Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating online course content in a simple and effective way without knowing code. A great platform to use and promote your online courses.

"A simple to use but powerful teaching tool for online education"
What do you like best about Thinkific Plus?

Reasonable prices along with quick and knowledgeable support make Thinkific Plus a great option for anyone looking to provide online education. It's simple to get started and easy to maintain!

What do you dislike about Thinkific Plus?

Some advanced features will require knowledge of APIs and webhooks and even in-app functionality might only be possible through third-party paid apps. Although, the flexibility to extend it's functionality is a nice feature.

What problems is Thinkific Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a large-scale learning platform to serve our 500,000+ student audience. Thinkific makes it easy to build quality courses that are easy for people to access and enjoy. The user-friendly UI makes studnet onboarding simple as well.

"Thinkific Covers the Bases"
What do you like best about Thinkific Plus?

Thinkific is a comprehensive learning management system platform that provides text, video, and discussion for both learners and teachers. It handles a variety of questions/answers and their scoring well.

What do you dislike about Thinkific Plus?

Uploading text could be improved and could save the user time, especially if there are some repeated questions.

What problems is Thinkific Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed an online learning platform that would meet the needs of doctors as well as undergraduate students. We wanted to present text for download as well as voiced video. We needed to have tests to certify learning. We accomplished this with Thinkific's system.

"A solid tool for training, Helped us gain important insights"
What do you like best about Thinkific Plus?

I appreciated how much control you had over the various aspects. Even the free version was great. We were able to gain important insights to various strengths and weaknesses in our training and onboarding processes which helped make future decisions. Using a program like thinkific allows you to create learning environments while also providing you with key insights to help understand the gaps in certain areas of our work. Another massive benefit to thinkific is that it is very simple to set this up. They have created a user-friendly platform that allows a certain degree of customization. We were able to transition our content into the modules that we were hoping to create quite quickly. This allowed us to build a prototype training program.

What do you dislike about Thinkific Plus?

It would be awesome to have Salesforce integration. So much of what we do flows through this. It would be nice to be able to incorporate this to different Contractor accounts for the purposes of reporting. When we use tools that don't fully integrate it does create extra work for the company which makes us less productive. Granted, we have only sampled the free version up to this point, but if we were to invest in this further, I would hope that we could maximize our usage by the ability to streamline this.

What problems is Thinkific Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are providing training modules to contractors. This has allowed us to ensure greater quality of work among our workforce. Prior to using this platform, we relied heavily on manpower to accomplish what we needed to accomplish. This has reduced that massively.

Thinkific platform makes it easy to create and own your online school. The customer care is also very responsive when you encounter challenges on the platform.

What do you dislike about Thinkific Plus?

The assessment feature only has one explanation per question. Also, embedding images within the assessment questions is currently not natively-supported. Although, it integrates with third-party tools...

"Easy, quick way to create online course"
What do you like best about Thinkific Plus?

The premade templates make it easy to create quickly and easily. There are many different options of types of lessons you can create and even with the free version, you are able to put together a comprehensive course that flows nicely. Students are introduced on how to use the course before it even starting, making it a better experience for them and more likely to recommend the course created.

What do you dislike about Thinkific Plus?

There could be more options to customize the design and elements of the course in a user friendly way that even those who are not great with design can handle.

What problems is Thinkific Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Needing a easy way for those who are not great technically to navigate the course, Thinkific was able to provide an user friendly design for students of the course and for the instructor.

"Great customer service"
What do you like best about Thinkific Plus?

The ability to create an entire online learning environment. The analytics and insight into student behavior is also very valuable. The customer service and support has been really helpful to make sure we're getting the best out of what Thinkific Plus has to offer.

What do you dislike about Thinkific Plus?

The email and scheduling apps our company uses are not easily integrated with Thinkific Plus which just means having to choose between platforms.

What problems is Thinkific Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Thinkific Plus is offering a platform for learners to engage on that is not just a Facebook group or some form of social media. I like the community boards and how people are able to share and respond to others. Thinkific Plus is also allowing us to deliver instruction online which is more useful for our student base and helps to offer a hybrid/blended model of learning CPR, How to Use an AED and other skills we are teaching on our platform.

"User friendly, although expensive"
What do you like best about Thinkific Plus?

I love how easy and straightforward it is to use! Students have also shared that it is user-friendly. There are various options to create content with, such as video, audio, text, etc. There are different ways to make the course material engaging such as quizzes. I also really love that the videos you upload remain in a library so it's easy to transfer one video to another course if needed. It's great that you can have multiple courses running at once.

What do you dislike about Thinkific Plus?

As a small business who does not use all the feature, I find it fairly expensive. On the other hand, I would appreciate it if there were more flexible payment plan options, a sliding payment scale, and coupon code options to provide exclusive discounts. I don't use the selling/payment integration, landing page and confirmation email features or this reason. Everything except for the course itself is done externally and students enroll for "free".

What problems is Thinkific Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's providing a platform for me to run courses on! I've realized the benefits of exploring different ways to teach and deliver course material.
