"The perfect solution for starting an online coaching platform"
Overall: Really good. We have limited resources so needed a solution that we could install and use quickly.They have clearly thought about the UX and UI, which translates to getting things done faster.
Pros: Our selection was limited to WordPress LMS, which is what we like most about MasterStudy LMS - it fits perfectly in our current WordPress website.
Cons: Hard to say. Perhaps there are too many features for what we need. But we rather have more and not use some of the features than have to have a dev create new functionality if it's missing in a platform.
"A plethora of features for a well-rounded LMS for Wordpress"
Overall: Masterstudy LMS is a very good choice if you plan on creating a big site with potentially multiple courses or even multiple teachers. Think of Udemy-type of site - maybe not that many, but the sheer amount of features and choices you need to make in order to set it all up is only justifiable if you do have multiple courses or plan on having multiple courses. In the past I created some website for clients that only have 1 course, which I would say that Masterstudy would not be a good choice for that. If you're only looking for something for a smaller type of membership site, or a site with only one course, then look for something simpler. Masterstudy is the big gun - it has a lot of options you need to choose, it's made for multiple courses type of a site, with even multiple teachers.
Pros: The number one thing, is that you also have the option to purchase the app tool for your site, so that your course can also be a fully integrated app on iOS and Android that's especially made for MasterStudy. In this way, you don't need any outside app-maker or spend expensive amounts of money to create a custom app. But there are tons of features in Masterstudy LMS. You can make this one do whatever you want - multiple teachers, multiple courses, certificate generator, quizzes and grade-books, trials, assignments, etc. Everything you most likely need in an LMS, you'll get with Masterstudy. It also has a ton of integrations if you need more stuff. The theme is updated pretty frequently and bugs get fixed quick. I hardly noticed bugs, but I didn't even need to report them because they got fixed in the next update.
Cons: Masterstudy is integrated with Elementor, which I do have the Pro version, but I would prefer if they also start integrating with Gutenberg-type options, like Kadence blocks and Kadence theme because it's much faster and less bloated than Elementor. The speed on the backend might not matter as much as the frontend of the website, but having that option might make things go even better. Masterstudy already has a lot of features which combined with Elementor you do need a pretty good VPS in order to make it all run decently if you have a few hundred students. I also do not like that only PayPal and Stripe as a payment gateway is available. Now of course, you have an integration with WooCommerce or Paid Membership Pro but these are options that would inquire extra costs in order to add other options.
"Considering the rave reviews on this plugin, I haven't had much luck with it."
Overall: Poor and still struggling with it. Considering another plugin. One that works.
Pros: I like the features that it offers such as course, lessons, quizzes etc.
Cons: Hard to implement. The starter theme that comes with it is impossible and finally, I went with Astra Theme. Documentation is poor. There is no information on how to set up a payment gateway from the course page to the checkout. There is no documentation on how to set up a user account and login. I am so far into this project, I don't want to start looking for another learning plugin but it may come down to that. I cannot believe the good reviews on this system.
"Masterstudy LMS, simple the best"
Pros: Easy to set up and learn and amazing support
Cons: All is good, for the moment. I have some issues in the past, but the technical support help me to fixed.
"Best Learning Management System for WordPress"
Overall: I am quite pleased; they have done and continue to perform an outstanding job. Masterstudy LMS has several features, such as multiple teachers, various courses, a certificate generator, quizzes and grade-books, trials, assignments, and so on.
Pros: Masterstudy is a fantastic WordPress plugin that also includes a theme. It is inexpensive, simple to use, and compatible with page builders, such as Divi and Elementor.
Cons: I'd want to see Masterstudy integrated with Gutenberg-style options, such as Kadence blocks and Kadence theme, because it's quicker and less bloated than Elementor.
