Experience with LMS
I've been using Academy LMS for a couple of months now on an online training project, and honestly, I've been surprised by how comprehensive it is. I installed it thinking I'd just need something basic to upload a few videos, and I ended up creating courses with lessons, quizzes, and even certificates without having to touch a single line of code. What I like most is that it has a SPA-style admin panel, so everything runs very smoothly, without those endless reloads you experience with other plugins of this type. I also noticed that it barely affects the website's loading time, which I appreciate because I already had quite a few plugins installed and was worried my site would become slow. If you sell courses, it integrates seamlessly with WooCommerce, which I really value because I didn't want to depend on a complicated payment gateway or complex configurations. Furthermore, the latest version includes AI tools and multi-instructor options, which is fantastic if you ever want to scale and have more people upload content. Therefore, I would recommend it without hesitation, although I do advise keeping it updated and carefully reviewing the permissions if you handle student data.

The code quality is excellent, the documentation is clear, and the products integrate seamlessly with WordPress. Whenever I have needed assistance, the support team has been responsive, professional, and genuinely committed to resolving any issues. What I appreciate most is the continuous improvement of their products and their willingness to listen to customer feedback. This gives me confidence not only as a customer but also as someone who is planning to introduce and promote their solutions in the Portuguese market. If you are looking for high-quality WordPress plugins backed by a dedicated team, I can confidently recommend their products. Keep up the excellent work!

Very good LMS, super fast Developer Responses
I am using Academy LMS for a couple of months now and really like the simplicity and speed of it. When asking for help, the developer responded quickly and just a few days ago, when asking for a new feature, the developer not only responded quickly but within days built the feature into the plugin. Really cool to see the product grow and the developer caring about user feedback! Keep going! A+

Excellent Product & Outstanding Pre-Sales Support
The product itself is very well-built and technically solid, but what truly impressed me was the level of support provided before the purchase. The developer was extremely responsive, professional, and helpful from a technical perspective. All my questions were answered clearly, and they took the time to understand my needs rather than giving generic replies. This kind of pre-sales support is rare and shows real commitment to the product and its users. Thanks to their guidance and transparent communication, the purchasing process was smooth and confidence-inspiring. Overall, a great experience with excellent technical support and a developer who truly cares about users. Highly recommended
