We were happy LearnDash customers for several years, which makes this situation especially disappointing. The core LMS has served us well, but the LearnDash App has created serious problems for our business. Because the app does not function properly, we have lost significant revenue, missed an important launch opportunity, and suffered damage to both our competitiveness and customer experience. Businesses that depend on their LMS for revenue need stable products, clear communication and fast resolution of critical issues. Based on our current experience, we cannot recommend LearnDash to businesses that rely on their LMS for commercial operations.
Pros: For several years, LearnDash worked well for us as an LMS. We run online courses in nautical education and certification, and until recently we were very satisfied with the platform. The core LMS functionality has been useful for structuring and delivering our courses, and our earlier experience with LearnDash was positive.
Cons: Our experience changed completely after purchasing LearnDash App. We invested significant time and money into preparing our own mobile apps, which we planned to launch during a major trade fair in March. Unfortunately, LearnDash has not delivered a reliable or functioning solution. A critical issue remains unresolved: courses do not appear after opening the app. This makes the app essentially unusable for our students. The issue was reported on February 21 and is still unresolved at the time of writing, around 90 days later. What makes this even more disappointing is the lack of proactive communication. We have had to chase support ourselves for updates, and the answer has remained more or less the same: they are still investigating. For a business-critical product, this is not acceptable.

Overall, LearnDash served its purpose well for our training programs — it’s affordable, reliable for smaller deployments, and easy to navigate for learners and admins. However, it’s not ideal for enterprise-level or compliance-heavy LMS environments without significant customization
Pros: LearnDash is a very affordable and flexible option for building an online learning platform. It’s easy to set up and works well for basic LMS needs. The availability of numerous plugins and add-ons makes it highly customizable — with the right combination, you can get most of the functionality you need without a major investment.
Cons: While it’s cost-effective, LearnDash can become challenging for complex LMS implementations. Advanced features such as recertifications, reporting, and multi-tier user management often require third-party plugins or manual setup. These add-ons can also cause compatibility issues or slow performance.

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.
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.
D'vorah L. · Owner and Lead Instructor · E-Learning · June 30, 2025
My overall all experience with LearnDash was one that started with high hopes then became frustrating and unsuccessful. I had the program for a few years but would always procrastinate using it because it was hard for me to figure out how to create my course. I am an instructional designer so I am not a stranger to course development and learning management systems but it didn't work out for me as I hoped it would.
Pros: I liked that it could be used within my Wordpress site as a plug in.
Cons: I didn't like how it didn't feel intuitive to use.
Shakara J. · Professional Learning Specialist · E-Learning · March 27, 2025
Learndash is a polished platform and amongst WordPress's best learning management systems. It is extremely configurable and has a wide range of integrations and makes it easy to monetise courses.
Pros: Learndash is a polished platform supported by many plugins in the WordPress ecosytem.
Cons: The pricing can be prohibitively expensive for agencies starting out. There is no 'Lifetime Deal'.
Vikas P. · Director · Computer Software · March 20, 2025
Terrible. I had an issue that caused me losses and they have not solved the issue yet. They will ask you for information and information and your issue won't be solved.
Pros: Good Interface Some features are useful Group plus
Cons: Support is Terrible!!! They won't solve your issues and will cause losses. SCAMMERS

Margarete W. · Geschäftsführung · Education Management · January 18, 2025

Varun K. · Marketing Manager · Marketing and Advertising · January 5, 2025
My overall experience with LearnDash has been positive.
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.
Bala K. · Marketing manager · Marketing and Advertising · December 12, 2024
I used LearnDash to create my online course platform and found it to be a good solution in terms of usability and pricing.
Pros: The ability to create our courses exactly the way we want them, in a very simple way.
Cons: It's a wordpress plugin, so there are inevitably the drawbacks associated with wordpress (a little slow, regular updates, paid plugins etc...).
Alexis B. · CEO · Arts and Crafts · November 28, 2024
LearnDash is online based, with detailed content for suitable training.
Pros: LearnDash has detailed and informative learning materials for businesses
Cons: LearnDash has a precise form of knowledge sharing
Zayna S. · Software Developer · Higher Education · November 25, 2024
LearnDash is a determined tool that gives all of us a successful learning process.
Pros: LearnDash has all the learning materials and assessment solutions
Cons: LearnDash has a determined way of covering business training without challenges
Chantal G. · Software Developer · Higher Education · November 17, 2024
Experiencia mala, necesito un código para activar la licencia del plugin y no me lo han enviado como dicen que deberían haber hecho. He buscado el código de la licencia en mi cuenta dentro de su plataforma y no funciona.
Pros: Solo he pagado, pero no lo he podido usar por problemas técnicos.
Cons: Support: no tienen un chat para resolver problemas de forma rápida. Te mandan a un formulario y responden con poca agilidad.
Jonatan S. · Fundador · Higher Education · October 21, 2024
LearnDash is a great programme, however, it doesn't work with Wordpress.com. It works better with Wordpress.org.
Pros: It is fairly easy to use and you can integrate it into WordPress.
Cons: It is a good Learning Management Systeme. I did like the drag-and-drop features and the way it was presented on the website.
Katja D. · Teacherpreneur · Education Management · October 15, 2024
Good experience with the software, bad experience with Google ranking.
Pros: It's easy to use, has quizzes which is so important for online courses.
Cons: I'm using BuddyBoss with LearnDash. For some reason. none of my pages are ranking in Google. This hasn't happened with any of my other sites.
Caroline O. · Tutor and CEO · Education Management · September 8, 2024
LearnDash has created a dependable approach for learning, which is requires online facilitation.
Pros: LearnDash gives online learning option, where there are credible materials that are accessible.
Cons: LearnDash has sustained the learning curve for businesses.
Garlasco L. · Digital Marketer · Health, Wellness and Fitness · April 9, 2024
Couldn’t fault Learn Dash, and we don’t even use half of the functionality that’s available within. We’ve used Learn Dash for over two years now and don’t plan on moving away from it anytime soon.
Pros: Learn dash is a very flexible LMS plugin, and in comparison to a number of other LMS’s we tried, Learn dash is compatible with all other components within our tech stack.
Cons: There aren’t any learn dash negatives that I could comment on.
Kain R. · Founding director · E-Learning · March 28, 2024
The valuable training option from LearnDash is something that ensure gives credible information.
Pros: The solution offers appropriate learning structures, where there is online training.
Cons: LearnDash gives reasonable learning streams, and this faces no challenges.
Fatture R. · Digital Marketer · Food & Beverages · March 26, 2024
Pros: Integrates with Wordpress seamlessly; perfect features for course management; ease for learners to register and work through content
Cons: Would like add-ons to not always be costly
Anthony H. · Strategic Consultant · Non-Profit Organization Management · February 12, 2024
Great LMS plugin for wordpress with simple design and options to embed every type of education material.
Pros: Modern design of lessons and modules with bunch of options to create different leqrning experience for different types of lessons.
Cons: Better dashboard overview is not included in basic learndash licence. Reports for quizzes could be better.
Filip S. · Education coordinator · Higher Education · February 4, 2024
The fact I recommend this LMS says it all—a great product and add-ons. Don't hesitate if you are researching/deciding on an LMS for WordPress.
Pros: LearnDash is my go-to choice of LMS for my WordPress customers. One customer in particular had a complex set of requirements, of which LearnDash was able to deliver. With some customisation and add-ons, we have a fantastic LMS solution. Even out of the box, for simpler solutions this product rocks. The LearnDash support team are amazing, especially Shalom, who has been incredible support. Support teams make or break a product after sales.
Cons: Once you understand the Groups/Users assignment hierarchy ( especially for UI shortcodes ) you are rolling. That element took some head-scratching, but, with great support ( see above ) it's all clear.
Elliott P. · Digital design and code · Internet · December 11, 2023
It took me a long time to really come to terms with the complexities of the L-D LMS. It would have been better to offer a very basic L-D LMS template to make it easier for non-techies like myself.
Pros: I'm a non-techie and LearnDash seems to be a good LMS. After encountering problems early on, I eventually managed to understand the basics.
Cons: Insufficient awareness by the coprorate office of the extreme challenges of the L-D LMS for non-techies. [I started using it in 2018]
KIERON H. · Owner · Professional Training & Coaching · November 9, 2023
good experience with some problems of compatibility with other plugins
Pros: i like ho easy is to build the course from scratch
Cons: many features and customizations are demanded to other softwares
Paola A. · manager · E-Learning · August 27, 2023
I use it to build courses, deliver courses to public and private agencies and organizations
Pros: Professionalism, beautiful interface, course management features, topics, tests, certification. The number of sortcode pongs is rich, making it easy to choose from when it comes to creating custom pages.Integrates well with a large number of other software based on wordpress.This is a platform that offers very good online courses.
Cons: course packaging function, I have a hard time transferring a course to another system or importing a course from another system
Tran M. · Digital Transformation Manager · E-Learning · August 10, 2023
Pros: great tech support! Always quick and quite knowledgable.
Cons: too hard to create the first course from start to finish.
