Mobile App = Top 5 Student Requests through Support “I would love to see an app from you guys. I need to connect to the internet to view the lecture. For me, it is not possible to get internet connectivity when I want to view the video lectures. Can it be possible that you provide an app where I can download the video lectures or the course content for offline use later?”” ~ Student from India “…if you could provide an app for mobile devices would be greatest!, I think that the app could have a better behavior in 3G environments. Thanks edX.” ~ Student from Sri Lanka
