When the download icon is tapped, it shows a circle but never moves. Tried several times.
Updated to lastest Android version recently: 1.20.2.
Phone on Android 10.
Does not occur consistently, but noticed after updating the app I encounter this bug when switching back to the app and have a video playing. The video player will be a black screen with no controls. I have to exit the course and then press continuing watching to start playing the video again.
I think it will be really great to have the video quality control settings on the android app.
Since I found that "adaptive video quality" is not very stable and reliable in the app, I guess its really good to have a video quality button in the player itself.
A dark mode theme would help us using the app at night time. Getting flashed for trying to switch courses or videos is not ideal.
Device: Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Plus, Android version 10
Preconditions:
Connected to wifi, logged in.
Steps to Reproduce:
Log in. Navigate to the professional part of the guided path and try to watch any video from the first two courses.
Expected:
Fullscreen mode working properly.
Actual:
The bottom right corner of the video, where total time sits, overflows the screen slightly. The actual content is fully visible, but the full video time which is just after the time bar does not fit.
A collapsable menu (just like how it is on desktop version) as an option would suit the app better when trying to change the playback speed as it is not intuitive nor efficient to tap 6 times to switch between let's say 1.8x to 1.6x.
Sometimes because of misclick (you try to download latter video, or just misclick while navigating) you end up starting playing video that's ahead of course you currently watch. Then after clicking 'Continue watching' app starts playback from the video that's ahead instead of 'continuous playback' which is i.e. when you've seen 7 videos in order and then have misclicked 10th video it should take you to 7th instead of 10th.
I'm not sure if my description is clear enough, I hope so. If not - please tell me and I will try to provide example with screenshots.
Thank you
When you open app it shows you course you recently watched. I'd like to have sorting i.e. 'recently added' (published), 'recently downloaded', 'recently watched', etc. Also I'd like to have custom playlist where I can add videos / courses in my order.
This feature can help when you sometimes want to preview different course or you seek something in different video and therefore app puts that video as first while actually you don't want to put it up.
Thank you, great content, not so great app (yet)
The course progress in the app does not match the ones on the website
I haven't started any of these courses yet.
My guess is that the recycler view is recycling the progressbar for courses that haven't been started yet (no/null progress) as the progress shown for JS hard parts is the same as for complete intro to react.
Adding bookmarks similar to the web app would be nice.
Please add support for Chromecast! 👍
The app is wonderful so far thank you for providing the ability to download the courses. Being able to watch them on my TV via Chromecast will level up the app even more!
Currently, it always rotates left.
Case scenario: the subway without connection.
Actual:
Right now the app is trying to access to the server online in order to check my credentials or get the course info. So if I want to watch my downloaded videos I have to access to the course page before loose my connection.
Expected:
It would be great to have offline navigation. If I'm already logged, store locally my data and courses in order to watch it without no connection.
show video annotations (links, errata like in web) and notes
I've downloaded some offline videos. When I navigate via the sidebar to "offline courses" while disconnected to the internet it shows me a network error and a try again button.
Can I not access offline content without an internet connection?
If a app is displaying a video in full screen, and I rotate the device to portrait, the video exits from full screen mode even when the orientation is locked
Expected:
While playing or pausing the video, playing speed should increase or decrease by 20%.
Actual:
While playing, the behaviour is normal, but when pausing video and increase/decrease the playing speed and do that again the playing speed affected by 40%.
While pausing the video, lets say the speed is 1 after increase it will become 1.2 then decrease it will become 0.8.
Syncing bookmarks between web and android doesn't seem to work correctly.
Device: Pixel 2, Android P
Expected:
To see the course in the bookmarks section
Actual:
Some courses are there, but not all.
Further info:
Course name: JavaScript: From Fundamentals to Functional JS, v2
Shows as bookmarked if you manually search on android, but doesn't appear in bookmarked section.
A notification if a download fails would be nice. Otherwise I have to check to see if everything downloaded correctly.
I think we need support to choose video quality
I watch by my ipad it's seem not clear
Scenario:
Currently, the only way to "hide" it is to exit fullscreen mode and re-enter it.
Additional information:
Device: BLU R1 HD, Android version 6.0
Expected:
The video player should play the video and show the captions.
Actual:
The video player stops working and shows error: "An error occurred. Tap to retry."
There is some issue in video player of android app in latest version.
its cropping the video player on the full screen.
see below attachment of screen shot
When the app is downloaded there is a prompt to sign in however there is no way to create an account
Issue Description
Device: Xiaomi Mi Note Pro, Android version 10

Actual:
Try to login and nothing happens only a dismiss button

Would it be possible to add a way to disable autoplay when opening a course from the course list screen?
Hey,
I installed this app in my fire stick through apk file, but unfortunately app is not even opening.. I request you to support fire tv too, it would be wonderful to have option to watch on TV
Feature Request
When the Frontend Masters Android App (app) loses focus or context, I'd think that the audio from the currently playing video should still be played. Though it's probably covered in the statement above, shutting off the screen to my device should also allow the audio to continue playing.
I've really become accustomed to listening to podcasts and training videos in the background of my every day life - it's greatly increased how much content I can consume by listening to material in the car, at lunch, around the house.
Steps to Reproduce
Expected:
I would like the video (or just audio) to continue playing even when the app loses context or focus.
Note: I keep saying "play in the background" but it appears Android refers to this as the foreground (shame). This might serve as a reference: https://developer.android.com/guide/components/services#Foreground
Menu button doesn't work to speed time
Seeing this on iOS as well (iPhone 6)
There should be a video title over the video screen, right now when I am watching in full-screen mode, there is no way I can know the video title without turning off the full-screen mode.
Also when I turn off the full-screen mode, the list of lesson scrolls from the start to the current lesson, Is that needed ?, just showing the current lesson I am on instead of doing a scroll animation would be a good user experience.
And, when I am in full-screen mode, isn't pressing the back button is supposed to turn off the full-screen mode instead of exiting from the course and taking me to the home screen?
This is an edge case I ran into today. Often we release courses a day or two before the captions are made available. If a user downloads lessons when there are no captions available, those downloaded lessons fail to show the captions (or the CC button), even after the captions are made available.
Deleting the downloaded lessons, and re-watching, and even re-downloading, after the captions are made available solves the issue.
I'm expecting to go back to the video I was previously watching. And the progress to be correct.
Goes to some video previous watched video. And doesn't show the correct progress.
Hello
I have a premium account at FEM.
I use your android app to watch the courses. What i think is missing in the app is the length of each course is not shown anywhere.
Can you please include the same in the app?
thanks
Where exactly can I find the downloaded courses in the Internal Storage?
That's why I assumed in #4 that downloaded files are downloaded directly to the Internal Storage.
Frontend Masters should be created in the Internal/External Storage (Check #4)This would make it MUCH easier for the users to find the downloaded files, Copy them to their External Storage Manually, or even watch them from another device!
I am facing the issue for two days. It's working with the mobile browser with same wifi network. But in the app it's just loading.
I noticed that the courses are downloaded directly to the Internal Storage.
There should be an option to select the Storage Location from:
As many users don't have enough Internal Space.
It would be nice to have a Cancel All button just like the Download All button we have. When I click on Download All button it starts downloading all the videos, but if due to some unforeseen reason any video fails to download, it doesn't start downloading automatically. I have to manually click on delete (cross) button for every failed video. It would be nice to have Cancel All button to cancel downloading of all videos.
Before i updated the app to the new version i could use the full screen mode but after the update full screen mode did not work again
Before update
After update
Thanks
Like the web version, it would be interesting to have the possibility of viewing (and download for offline viewing) the subtitles of each video, a feature that is especially useful for users who are not native English speakers.
Downloads fail often, even on 4G connections.
I usually end up manually searching for failed videos and clicking on each one to retry downloading.
There's should be some kind of "Retry/Resume All" functionality, either automatically or the "Download All" button should handle that case, maybe.
bug occurred when not connected to wifi in area with alright connection
