Sleek and aesthetic
I've used the premium version, been through struggles and hurdles and the support team was on the task. Happy and satisfied. I like how "stock" WordPress-iy it looks. I must say though, i hateeeee the default font lol.

After paying, really bad service
The plugin doesn't work. I've tried to contact them several back and they just don't get back. They have a AI bot which doesn't help, I've asked for human support with 0 answer... avoid this plugin!

So much potential, so much ugliness
To hard, complicated and almost impossible to edit styles, on Gutenberg everything is blocked, so no edition is allowed. With Elementor no way to edit anything, most of the containers don't display on Elementor. The "Course displays" both options, the list and grid displays, look not ugly, horrible when using Elementor. The fact that the only documentation available is equal to zero, don't make things easier. If you like green and the default theme, all good. UPDATE after hours I find the classes that have troubles with Elementor: .alignfull and .alignwide I set the margin inline to 0 !important and now finally things look good. Also delete all sensei css classes on the Gutenberg editor. Still not able to make a loop container or even open Elementor editor if the element "Course list" is displayed on screen

So much potential but developers really slow to add features
I love lots of things about Sensei LMS but there are some key features I think needs to be added to improve the UX and to add more for users. I really wish there was a more dedicated team to the project that can listen to the users and take on new features otherwise it will just be the case that people go to other LMS plugins. So much potential here but I do wonder if anyone is bothered about making this the best LMS out there.
