Excellent. Once I learned how to set up my first course, I was able to easily set up additional courses. Over the past few years I've set up 30 courses on Leran Dash... my students love how easy it is to find content and I love how easy it is to set up the courses and the lessons. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love how Learn Dash allows us to offer an attractive, professional looking online classroom. This makes it easy to host our content and makes it easy for students to find it. #### Cons It is a little challenging to set up, though there is a support desk and a Facebook group where we can ask questions. The only con is that sometimes it takes a little longer to get a reply. --- ### The Elegant Training Tool - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Zayna S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

I have been using LearnDash for almost 2 years. It is a great plugin for courses and the most recent update has made it even better. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love the newest 3.0 update! It gives the interface a much better design and aesthetic. This makes it easier to navigate and it helps make LearnDash more user friendly. #### Cons It would be awesome if LearnDash came with a template for a user dashboard that we can just input to a page and direct people to. --- ### LearnDash for Ideal Learning Process - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chantal G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered LearnDash has been a very helpful tool for many of my clients, whether it was small colleges looking to take courses online, teaching organizations providing Continuing Education Credits, or individual experts looking to take their classes online. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Because it's based on WordPress, LearnDash not only comes with a lot of customization settings out of the box but plugs into a huge community of themes and plugins that can take your design and functionality practically any conceivable direction! #### Cons Some third-party developers created low-cost add-ons that didn't provide as reliable of a codebase as the core LearnDash software. Stick with reputable developers for third-party add-ons such as those mentioned on their website. #### Reasons for choosing LearnDash LearnDash was more flexible and user-friendly it's integration with WordPress provided access to a much wider community. #### Reasons for switching to LearnDash LearnDash provided a larger community with more integrations, a better interface, and additional features. --- ### User Experience is Dated, Not worth time investment - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Aimee S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Alternative Medicine - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: September 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I spent about 20 hours installing this plug-in and trying to set it up in WordPress before I stopped and decided to go with Teachable, which is another LMS platform. I was paying $30 a month for LearnDash but it’s not at all worth $30 a month. The support was poor and the user experience felt like the plug-in itself hadn’t been updated in a very long time. If I was using it for free I would’ve thought it would’ve been worth it, but to pay monthly for it is not worth the amount of time and energy that it took me to set up basic functions . #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros The reason I purchased the software was because it integrated with WordPress. I had already built my courses on WordPress and I wanted to add additional features like tracking my students and providing a central hub where all my students courses would be available and providing them with a progress bar to help them have a more visual way to progress through their courses. #### Cons This is really not a software it’s a WordPress plug-in. I use multiple word plus plug-ins that are excellent. This WordPress plug-in is not worth the money. The amount of work that requires you to do just to get your course set up is enormous. I already had my courses fully developed and it was not easy to install the plug-in and have the features that they promised. #### Reasons for choosing LearnDash I originally chose LearnDash because it was a plug-in for WordPress. I thought that would allow me to do less work and keep the word press courses that are already set up. I ended up choosing teachable in the end because my experience trying to set up LearnDash showed me that it was nowhere comparable to the functionality of Teachable which was the same exact price . --- ### LMS Management for Online E-Learning Course Catalog - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Will D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, LearnDash has made managing a large catalog of content (50 + courses) very easy. I can quickly add courses, and the quality looks great. The features I get with video lessons, feel like custom developement and something I paid ALOT of money for, but they are included for free. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Learndash is incredible easy to get up and running. I loved how easy it is to create courses, add lessons and quickly get a catalog of content up and running. I was transferring courses from pages and posts that I had manually created, and moving to LearnDash allows me to move and work so much faster, plus it's alot easier for students to navigate. All of my content is videobased and their video progression features and integrations with Vimeo are amazing. The ability to remember your location in a video so that when you come back to it, it's there waiting for you-is a feature that feels like it should cost, much, much more. #### Cons Initially I had purchased LearnDash and asked for my money back, because I felt like it was too focused on being a solution for higher ed. I didn't need certificates, or quizzes, or homework uploads, just the ability for students to watch video lessons. But.. after digging in the second time, I realized I don't have to use all of those things. While there are alot of features, I don't have to use those. #### Reasons for choosing LearnDash I wanted to stay on an open platform and own my content. LearnDash allowed me to quickly transfer my existing posts and pages into their platform and continue owning my content and processing payments through Stripe. --- ### Excellent product - terrible support - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: David W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Goods - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: August 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered The Good : + Excellent functionality for authoring courses with all expected media types supported + Excellent functionality & UX for users taking courses + Full-featured for those starting with a blank slate + Mobile responsive (with our theme) The Bad: - Very hard to integrate with existing customized website (theme, plugins, etc) - GravityForms integration virtually useless - Unable to drive course access or pricing based on WP user role - Apparently no hooks allowing implementer to modify their course enrollment process. The Ugly - HORRIBLE SUPPORT! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The features/functions of this product are top notch. Particularly if you are building a new eLearning site and are willing to use their theme and their UX OOB, this is very easy to implement and has great features. #### Cons The support experience has been horrendous! My task has been to integrate this LMS into an existing website which is very complex and sophisticated, without turning the existing UX on its head. The Support organization has been utterly useless either re-directing me to other plugins or mis-directing me with information that was simply wrong. The GravityForms integration is so poorly conceived as to be useless for my needs, and Support cannot provide any developer-level assistance at all. I've tried everything to get through to them - even contacting the CEO via LinkedIn - with no success. I'm now on the verge of demanding they cancel my license and refund the fee. #### Reasons for choosing LearnDash It appeared to offer a better UX, but we ultimately found it very difficult to modify their user registration and course enrollment process. --- ### My Take on LearnDash - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Dianne M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Because of issues we've had that were solved by tech support Dan, we haven't yet done an official launch although our plan is to launch on July 3. I would say that my overall experience has been a mixture of frustration and joy. It took me a while to learn how to navigate the builder, needing to navigate out of the course section to design the lessons and out of lessons to design topics, but once I worked that out, it's a breeze. I feel I will know better what real benefits LearnDash has when my students actually start using it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It's course builder and the ability to clone courses #### Cons I had to begin learning LearnDash from scratch, while at the same time learning Elimentor and CartFlows. There was a steep learning curve for me. I began when LearnDash 3 was the latest version, and I found it confusing when viewing older tutorials, not realizing I needed to pay attention to when the tutorial was done. I suggest deleting older tutorials. Also, I don't like to call names but I tried to watch several of [SENSITIVE CONTENT]'s webinars and I found them more confusing than helpful. However, I found [SENSITIVE CONTENT]'s tutorials always clear, concise and helpful.[SENSITIVE CONTENT]s instruction about constructing a certificate was the best I found. #### Reasons for choosing LearnDash I choose LearnDash because we could install it on our website and have total control without sharing our income with a platform. --- ### WordPress great LMS - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Miguel D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered My experience with LearnDash has been great, the product is solid and the support has been always great. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros In groups, you can accommodate users in a group and then add courses to that group, this will make every user start the course exactly at the same moment, so helpful for drip content. Drip content, LD can send emails depending on the user's actions, lesson availability, or quiz results. #### Cons Not a strong report system. Not a strong discussion system between tutors and students (you need 3rd party for that). Lack of notes-taking module (you need 3rd party for that). --- ### Its reliable and flexible LMS that makes creating and managing online course easy and efficient - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Bala K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for free trial - Reviewed: December 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered My overall experience with LearnDash has been positive. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros LearnDash is super easy to use and integrates perfectly with WordPress. The course builder is simple, and I love how customizable it is with features like quizzes, drip content, and certificates. #### Cons Sometimes the interface can feel a bit outdated,and setting up advanced features may require additional plugins. --- ### Excellent platform for online course - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ederson V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, LearnDash is one of the best online course platforms I've seen. It has all the options that an academy, university, institute, school may need to give their Online courses. I don't think there is another more complete option to give online courses. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros If you need to create a website that allow you to teach people, then LearnDash is the best solution. I found LearnDash and liked how it had all the features that I needed in order to make this happen. The support team was always there to help me figure out anything I didn't understand, which is why they are so valuable. It's one of the best and most affordable online learning platforms I have ever come across. I am able to create courses, upload videos, assign quizzes, and keep track of the progress in a single dashboard. Something very important about this platform is that it allows students to learn at their own pace. #### Cons What LearnDash needs to improve is its design of the courses, the part that the student sees, in my case I have to use other templates to improve the visualization. Something that I don't know because they haven't implemented is an APP to be able to take the courses from the cell phone. #### Reasons for choosing LearnDash Because LearnDash is more complete. #### Reasons for switching to LearnDash LearnDash is more complete than LearnPress. --- ### Web Designers Saving time - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Shady S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Electrical/ Electronic Manufacturing - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I LOVE IT! I will be using it with all my other clients #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros the ease of use and getting support quick #### Cons You can use more customization elements #### Reasons for choosing LearnDash Price 100% gave me the freedom without the constant back and forth with developers --- ### A Fully-Featured Learning Management System (LMS) - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Our experience with LearnDash has been excellent. Before purchasing a LearnDash license, I was a little skeptical about how effectively this LMS software would improve the sites on which we offer courses and other protected content. After about 5 months of regular use, I believe the software does live up to the hype. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros For our online courses and membership site, LearnDash' Quiz functionality has been particularly helpful. The ability to create quizzes with different question types (single choice, multiple choice, sorting choice, etc.) quickly and easily adds to our productivity and is one reason why we are able to retain our customers who attend these courses and/or sign up to our membership site. #### Cons There was a bit of a learning curve at the beginning, but the LearnDash knowledge base is more than adequate in helping the average user overcome early challenges with the software. We use LearnDash on a membership site - although the LearnDash LMS was able to protect the content, we found this functionality somewhat limited for what we wanted on our membership site and decided to purchase a separate membership plugin, i.e. Restrict Content Pro - this plugin works well with LearnDash. --- ### LearnDash really offers a lot for the cost - well worth every cent! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Aaron D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We've used and extended LearnDash for about a dozen different client sites (I'm a web developer) - it's easy to set up and our easy to show our clients how to use it. When we've needed to, we've extended the plugin with the Uncanny Owl plugin, some of the other plugins, or through custom code. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros LearnDash is easy to set up and works well with WordPress. I've been using LearnDash for over 4 years and each version gets better, with more options and power. It is the best way to offer online courses, either paid or free and we've set it up with grading or certification for several websites. LearnDash has a lot of features including courses, lessons, quizzes, and more. Also there's additional plugins to help extend it further or if you're a PHP programmer, you can extend it even further. It costs but it really is a premium plugin and they do have great support. #### Cons There is definitely a learning curve the first time you use it but it's all laid out logically and you'll figure it out in no time. Quizzes can take a while to set up but straightforward. There's a few things that are buried in the settings that can be gotchas but overall a really solid product. #### Reasons for switching to LearnDash LearnDash is better --- ### LocallyHost.com LearnDash Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Relatively easy integration and administration especially being used with Buddyboss. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Gamification to quizzes and progress tracking - This addresses the main motivation and needs for us to consider an LMS #### Cons The limited licences pricing structure - Learndash LMS licences structure does not include an option for unlimited website licenses. This would have been a wonderful value for us. #### Reasons for choosing LearnDash Pricing and YouTube tutorials --- ### Makes providing an Online Learning System easy - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: ZAiN R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Training is straight forward and a cinch as well. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros - Ease of deployment - Feature-rich - Numerous plugins available - Community Support #### Cons - Pricing could be better - Documentation could be more in depth, especially when it comes to customisation #### Reasons for choosing LearnDash Learndash had more features, better support & community support. --- ### Create Online Learning Hub with Ease - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Georgia G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered My experience with LearnDash plugin and with LearnDash the company has been fantastic. My client is thrilled and I am very happy that I can now include this as an option to other clients in the future. It is a powerful LMS for independents and organizations alike. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Support is always key for me - even if I never need it and even presale the support team was responsive and helpful. After that comes an intuitive interface and they score high here as well. I also used an extensive online library of video lessons any time I wanted to fill in my personal knowledge base. Also, with the inclusion of a partner like Elementor I was able to deliver a workspace to the client that is reflective of their core website. #### Cons We ended up creating this as a subdomain to the parent site and that worked well for us. The addition of Elementor to their pool of available tools is fairly recent and the documentation is slim from both parties. I hope that this improves and that there is a greater ability to customize even more in the future. Also, I wish the documentation was better for user login, especially when you have incorporated WooCommerce. #### Reasons for choosing LearnDash We looked closer at LearnDash after noting the popularity with other developers. For us, it fit several criteria including the integration of Elementor, the ability to tie to Zoom, the ability to drip content, the ability to control the availability to the workshop. #### Reasons for switching to LearnDash I don't want to name them but we did a full development on another product and it just would not ever work properly. After six weeks we made the decision to cut our losses and switch to LearnDash. --- ### The Appropriate Online Learning Solution - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Fatture R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food & Beverages - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered Learn Dash is a good platform to provide courses to students, but it does lack several needed features to create a proper marketplace environment. It is even limited to create subscriptions without third party software involved. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Easy to use lessons system. Drag and drop building. Easy to integrate with DIVI. Pretty student user interface #### Cons Lacking a proper tool to create quizzes. Does not provide a good environment to create a LMS marketplace. Instructors are not capable to keep trace of their income, sales, etc. --- ### LearnDash is an obligation in E-learning - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Amira B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: November 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. My experience with LearnDash is one of a kind. As a tutor, this software has been of great help to me. It lets me control how I want my course to look, share my lessons with multiple classes, integrate with almost all systems, and make the learning process fun. Although LearnDash needs development in some areas, it is still the best software I used throughout my teaching journey. Nowadays, such softwares are very necessary in E-learning field; for that, I highly recommend LearnDash. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros * LearnDash allows me to style my course the way I want it. * It integrates well with WordPress. * It provides the opportunity to sell courses online. * There are great sharing options. * LearnDash is easy to install and use #### Cons * The need for installing some plugins is a bit annoying. * Customization is a bit hard in some areas.* The need for add-ons to better the software functionality. --- ### A premier option for LMS development. Has all of the features you would expect. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Jeremy K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: March 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros What is not to like about this? Multi-tier courses, classes, teacher interaction, and a handful of gateways to round out this system. There are really too many features to list, and most of them are rounded really nicely. Customer support is quick and easy to work with, the cost isn't prohibitive as this LMS supports creating large projects, and the features feel like fully-realized and integrated aspects of a complete software, not just bolted on options on a lesser-thought-out plugin. #### Cons We ran into a compatibility issue with our event software. It ended up breaking the software, and we had to axe the event system we had put in place because we wanted to use this LMS over others. We also ran into a problem where we couldn't create a class online to register with, and then host the classes offline, manually entering a grade and pass/fail for in-person testing very well. Our specific use-case ended up being the one that this software couldn't handle. --- ### LearnDash: inexpensive and efficient Learning Management System - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Adrien J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Realiable as it can handle (very) large number of users. As it is a piece of software that offers many, many possibilites, there's a learning curve. But the customer support department has proven to be amazing to answer all our questions and needs. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros LearnDash makes it possible for our members to learn English more easily thanks to quizzes and interactive lessons and learning paths (progress tracking, personalized corrections, asynchronous learning and so on). #### Cons It takes a bit of time to understand how LearnDash works but the learning curve is not too steep as the customer support department is really, really good! Beware that LearnDash can be super ressource-intensive if you have many members and/on many concurrent users on your membership site. --- ### They Listen! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: BARRETT M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Highly recommended! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Because all e-learning platforms are unique new updates/releases uncover errors that may not have been able to be tested because the combinations of software is infinite. LD support have consistently listened to issues raised, offered solutions where appropriate as well as shown humility in saying oops, we didn't think of that but let's work through this together. #### Cons Learning the course software is not easy to learn. However, the more I use it, the more efficient structures are realised in e-learning course design.
