What’s the plan on making an Android App for those of us who prefer using a phone with a larger, easier to see screen?
I’ve put my subscription on hold until an Android app is released. Really hope they make one soon
Yes please. I was excited to watch Lynda.com videos on the kindle fire just to find out they are pretty unwatchable. You are missing a great market.
Yes we’re many users that are waiting for Android app.
An Android app would be very helpful.
Any idea how long before an Android app is released?
Is there an android app in development? This would be extremely helpful and just might make me pull the trigger on a yearly subscription. By the looks of this thread android is in high demand .
Hi Joey! (And all other Android users on this thread!)
As we speak we’re finishing up our lynda.com mobile site, which will be optimized for Android and other mobile operating systems. All you Android users are very important to us and we hope the new mobile site will make watching lynda.com courses on the road universally easier for all users. Thanks for your patience, Joey! We truly appreciate your support through this development process and we believe you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the final mobile site in 2012. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions!
Hey Joey! I just wanted to let you know that the mobile site has landed and can be accessed by Android OS 2.0 or later at m.lynda.com. Thank you for your patience!
which browser do you recommend for viewing the mobile site on Android?
Hi there, TimBo! We recommend using the default Android browser. When you head to lynda.com on your device, you will be automatically redirected to the mobile experience. Please let us know if you have any problems.
Hi Chelsea,
I tried using your mobile website on the Kindle Fire and the videos look horrible and I’m not able to scale the videos to full screen. Is it designed for use on a phone only? Is there a solution upcoming for Android tablets?
Hi there, Bill! Our mobile site was designed specifically for smartphones, with the specific needs of Android users in mind. We recommend that all tablet users navigate to the full site (www.lynda.com) for the best experience. Try checking out the full site with your Kindle Fire, and let me know if you have any problems there.
yes please an app for the android. I even cant watch the tutorials on the internet on my android. i have to travel a lot, really would save me time!! thanksss
Are there any plans for the android app or is just not going to happen?
I’m still waiting for an Android app!
I think you will really like the mobile site we have coming soon, KuHawaiian! It will be optimized for Android and other mobile operating systems and will provide a better mobile experience for all users.
Is there a release date for the Mobile site?
Hi Jason! A date has not been publicly released at this point but I can assure you we are busy working on it and we will keep you updated. We are very dedicated to making sure all of our products are the best they can be, so, as you can imagine, major developments take some time to get just right. I can tell you this—it’s coming soon!
Hi again, Jason! I just wanted to let you know that the mobile site has landed and can be accessed by Android OS 2.0 or later at m.lynda.com. Thank you for your patience!
Great news regarding the mobile site. Can’t wait!
Hi, will the Android ap support Anroid 2.3, or just Android 3? thanks!
Hi Wen! We will actually be releasing a lynda.com mobile site that will work with all mobile platforms—not an Android- or iPhone-specific App—so you will be able to access lynda.com just fine from any Android OS.
Hi, Wen! I wanted to give you an update on the mobile site. As of today, the public beta of the mobile site is officially live, and you can access m.lynda.com from Android OS 2.0 or later devices. Thank you for your patience!
Android app soon please
Hi Dan!
Keep an eye out for the new lynda.com mobile site coming your way soon!
Looking forward to the Android, mobile optimized website. Thank you for accommodating us.
Looking forward to that mobile app so I can watch Lynda.com on my Kindle Fire…Are we there yet?
Hey kids – I went to settings on my Kindle Fire and TURNED ON FLASH (default is off)
and I’m watching Lynda.com – hooray! (and thanks!)
Do you have a rough idea of when the mobile site might be up? Are you thinking in the next couple weeks or in a few months? Any ideas. Do you think it might be up in may?
THANKS Lynette. I had no idea it was turned off. Still a little buggy so I cannot wait to watch on the new mobile site. Wonder if it will be released soon?
Still nothing!!
I’m thinking about getting a kindle fire, but only if I can use lynda.com with it.
Will it work?
Of course we are all waiting to hear when the new ap/site will be ready. thanks!
Hi Wen!
As of now, we are recommending that tablet users visit the full site to access lynda.com (not the mobile site). As we speak we are continuing our testing and will let you know as we have more specific information regarding the Kindle Fire. Thanks for your loyalty, Wen!
I am frustrated as well. I enjoy watching tutorials on my phone while I am at the gym on the treadmill. Trying to login on my screen is like doing heart surgery on an ant . Then as soon as I log in it times out and I need to do the whole process over… so I end up watching Tutorials off of YouTube. $25 vs $0. I think we would appreciate your honesty and just tell us its not going to happen. I would like to cancel my subscription this coming month if there isnt a better solution. Thank you.
Sooooo…….are we Kindle Fire users going to get a response Chelsea?! It is has been over two months since your last response. We “NEED” an android app ASAP! I hope I get one soon or I a will stop promoting your site amongst my colleagues and friends. This is a very serious issue you have left unresolved for too long…
Very disappointed you would let it go on so long…
Hi Tory,
We have a dedicated mobile team that is working on finalizing a lynda.com mobile site, which will be specifically optimized for Android use. I know it has been a while since I have responded; it was not my intention to make you, or any of the other Android users, feel unacknowledged. I genuinely appreciate your patience and I hope you will stick with us for the release of the mobile site coming this month.
Hi Tory! I just wanted to let you know personally that the mobile site has landed and can be accessed by Android OS 2.0 or later devices at m.lynda.com. Thank you for your patience! We know it’s been long awaited, and we would love to know what you think about the site now that it is here and in action. If you find time, please feel free to leave mobile site feedback using the link provided at the bottom of the mobile site.
I am viewing the full site on my Asus eee-Pad and it works perfectly. As a side note, thank you for including close captioning with some of the video. For someone like me with a huge hearing deficit, that was a strong selling point to sign up. Hope to see more videos I CC as time moves forward. Thank you!
I hope this helps some people. I have a HTC Inspire 4G and I am able to watch the Lynda.com videos currently on my phone with a great resolution. I am not a pro at Android phones as I am an avid mac user and everything but the new phone (yes I have iPhones) which I am in love with. If you use an alternate browser such as Dolphin HD, or Firefox you should be able to watch the movies perfectly fine. Even on the tablets. If you have a tablet or phone that does not feature flash or the ability to install plug-ins you can look into answers at the android forums for work arounds and roots. The videos are too worth it to not take the time to get access!!!
I’m jsut too broke right now
Hi — you’ve been finishing up your mobile site since early December. It’s now mid March. What is your ETA? We have Android users chomping at the bit. Thanks.
Hi
I actually saw talks on the mobile site since 2010
how long can it possibly take to develop a mobile web site??
I can’t use the site from my wp7, and its frustrating
Its funny that a place teaching mobile development amongst other things
Cannot pull it off by itself…..
Pathetic.
I am in love with this …I am really intersted in using this..Anyways great app thanks for sharing
Still waiting for the android app or the mobile site (I can play vids on my Desire HD, but it’s not ideal). I think everyone here loves your product, but I’ll add my voice to the frustrated (think of the ones that don’t have the time to do that). Opportunities are being missed Lynda.com.
I couldn’t agree more. With new competitors popping up everyday, Lynda.com is dropping the ball. PLEASE at least optimize the site for mobile. Its absolutely foolish that a site who’s content focuses on technology wouldn’t have a site I can can use on a Kindle.
Still nothing? Very disappointed
also waiting on an android app. i have a tablet and I’d love to use my laptop or desktop and have the courses running on my android tab. it’s very frustrating that this doesn’t exist yet.
Why Cant Lynda.com give us a straight answer about when a mobile site/ android app will be released?
I have resorted to cancelling my subscription and downloading the files from bit torrent so I can watch them on the road.
Its painfully ironic that a site that teaches people mobile/ app development cant sort out their own!!
C’mon Lynda……get it together!!
Great news! The mobile site has landed and can be accessed—in beta form—at m.lynda.com!
In a nutshell, the lynda.com mobile site is a mobile-optimized version of the full
lynda.com site, tailored for the small screens of mobile devices, that lets you watch all of
the courses in the training library on the go.
The mobile site comes equipped with easy-to-browse subject lists, quick access to your course history, and adaptive streaming to deliver the best video experience for your connection. When you visit lynda.com from your Android phone, iPhone, or iPod touch, you’ll be automatically directed to the public open beta of our mobile site, which is optimized for Android OS 2.0 or later and iOS 3.2 or later.
Thank you to everyone for their patience! Now that you have the mobile experience in your hands, we would love to know what you think about the site. Just tap on the mobile site feedback link at the bottom of the mobile site and enter your comments.
MINI FAQ:
- I have a tablet. Should I visit the lynda.com full site or the mobile site?
If you’re using lynda.com on a tablet, we recommend accessing the full site using your tablet’s native browser. This includes iPad, Samsung Galaxy, Xoom, and so on. The mobile site is specially designed for smartphones with screen sizes much smaller than tablets and desktop browsers.
- Can I access my training on the mobile site?
Absolutely. After logging in, the home page will show the last course you watched.
Access all of your settings, including my account and my training, from the drop-down
menu in the top right corner of any mobile site page.
- Do I need a membership to use m.lynda.com?
No. As with the full lynda.com site, there are plenty of movies that you can watch for
free.
It’s funny how iPhones are late with technology compared to android and iPhone gets an application but every other device just gets the mobile version… who actually goes to websites in mobile mode… iPhones and iPads. Who has the ability to go full site… androids… seems like Lynda team got this one backward. Good job?
Thank you Lynda!! It’s great! I’ll be renewing my subscription immediately.
