Best LMS if you want to invest in hiring a developer or learn to do it yourself
Apr 17, 2023
What do you like best?
I like its flexibility more than anything else. No matter what kind of feature I want to add, I can easily do that using LearnDash.
What do you dislike?
It's not easy to use, but require technical competence. Also it's way more expensive than it's marketed.
it' good helpful to our company, simple and looks and feels are good!

PresentlyLD has greatly improved, sleek and agile. It is easier and fun to create courses now

What do you like best?
When I first used LearnDash in 2014, it was cumbersome and took a lot of my time to set her up properly on a BuddyPress site. Presently, LD has greatly improved, sleek, and agile. I love the Course Builder, the focus mode and dark mode (when used BB). I love the layout orientation and the preview video overlapping the single course page. All these new improvements help to boost course creation and management without burning ones finger.
What do you dislike?
Learn Dash is cool but have some weaknesses. The editor is still not improved because it is hooked to WP. This makes it difficult to create site with comlex equations on the fly. Another weakness I observed was when students are taking the courses and attempting the quiz. There is no way to lock the page in the quiz area and this can make some smart-ass student to go back to the courses and glean the answers. Lastly, LD doesnt have in-built multiple intructors...not cool.
I think it is well a well designed and flexible LMS solution
May 13, 2020
What do you like best?
Personally, I like the flexibility. I have never liked being constrained by SAAS LMS applications. Learn Dash has proven to be both flexible and well suppoerted with a very active and helpful community of users. It has allowed us to deliver exactly what our clients needed in a custom designed LMS.
What do you dislike?
Some of the customizations require more in-depth technical knowledge that isn't suited to beginners.
one of the best learning management WordPress plugins in the market.
Apr 3, 2020
What do you like best?
You can use this plugin to create unlimited courses on your site and make regular revenue.When you look at the top eLearning platforms in the world, they spend thousands of dollars to create their learning platform with all the features and options that are required. While LearnDash will offer you all those features for very limited price making it probably the best choice for an eLearning site of any size.
What do you dislike?
Nothing as such. But, documentation, help videos and community forum all have to be registered to access.
Elegant, modern, it has everything an LMS has to perform.
Feb 15, 2018
What do you like best?
It is a Wordpress plugin, that is the reason we chose it. Also flexible, because there are a lot of free and low cost add-ons, so it can be customized. Beside flexibility the development is ongoing, so we often get notification about some new features. The customer service is excellent, they really care about their users.
What do you dislike?
There are some rigid settings we had to play around. For example the quiz hierarchy was tied, we could not start a course/lesson with a quiz.
It fits our company's needs many times over.
Jan 26, 2018
What do you like best?
We selected LearnDash after looking at several LMS's that were way out of our very small budget. I knew what we wanted and LearnDash gave us everything with a price we could really afford. It was easy to build out and change when we changed our minds. They have plugins for everything you could ever hope for. You can build it for any need!
