Pros and cons of iTunes U app for iPhone and iPad

iTunes U app good for

This app is listed on my favorites in all my initial iDevices setup simply because of the high quality contents it offers. Ive learned a lot with it since I installed it the first time. Just awesome!
Excelent Educational material from famous schools and universities.

かゆ うま オイ!それってyo!のびハザのネタじゃんか?アッアッアー
Extremely helpful and captivating. User-friendly ways to browse a huge variety of topics in a few languages. Interesting lectures and materials in high quality. And its free! What else do you need?! Thank you very much for your work!
Many question find answer in This app. But not all question find answer.

Some bad moments

Annoying. Not sure wether this is due to an update but several videos cannot be opened. I receive the message "Fehler, Wiedergabe fehlgeschlagen". I restarted the App, my iPhone, deleted the video and reloaded it.. Nothing helped.
Ive never seen such a buggy iOS app, especially by Apple. If you have a course with, say 300 episodes you need to scroll down the huge list each time you enter it. It cant correctly handle headphones start/stop. You can even turn on the iPod while listening to a course, whe you want to stop the latter!
The app is ok bun new UI is a disaster... Dont thing Ill buy apple again.
App isnt optimised for 6 Plus. Looks and works terribly like that. Fix it and upgrade for 6 Plus!
I download courses video. But it doesnt shows anywhere. It takes memory every time when I download video and it takes more and more memory and doesnt shows. Fix it please.
iPad Air 2 - iOS 8.1 & 8.1.1 the app sometime works right after rebooting the device, but if you close it or put it in background will instantly crash (but remaining in background).
