"My thinkific review"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Thinkific?

I like the way the backoffice is organized. We work for a lot of different clients with their own look & feel and needs. We also work with multiple team members in the same backoffice, a clear process is needed here. Luckily thinkific made it easy to group all the related assets to a certain client via the 'category' option. Building courses in this tool feels very intuitive by simply using the courses & their learning activities. I feel like there are enough learning activities for us to do the job. We mostly use the text, download & video lesson. Launching modules goes via the drip schedule which makes launching modules automatic from now on.

Thinkific also has a nice e- commerce feature. It makes it easy to sell the courses & the login creation.

This LMS system was easy to learn, even for our non-digital colleauges. It is helpful that you can assign certain roles to users. We have different teams working in Thinkific. Based on the tasks they have to do, we give them a certain role in Thinkific. This was helpful to not confuse the colleague with an overload of projects they are not involved in & to keep a clean backoffice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

In the beginning there was a learning curve. Header & footer are domain based, which is a bit unhandy for us since we build platforms for different clients. But ok, not a big deal, there are other ways to customize your platform.

We have some specific cases when adding certain role to users (for example externals who want to check a course that is not ready yet). We miss some AI features.

There is not much data you can track: f.e: how many time did a participant spend on this page, when do they usually log in? I feel like the 'analysis' part can still improve.

We don't use the 'theme library' a lot since we have different clients in 1 backoffice. 1 change here would impact all our projects (for different clients). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Thinkbifte Plus Made Our Work Life So Much Easier!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Thinkific?

Honestly i think Thinkbifte Plus is a lifesaver it’s like having an extra set of hands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

While Thinkbifte Plus is fantastic overall, there are a few minor quirks. For example, some of the more advanced features can feel a bit overwhelming at first, and it took us some time to fully explore and utilize them. Additionally, while the customer support is great, there were a couple of instances where response times were slower than expected during peak hours. These are small issues, though, and they don’t take away from the overall value of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Modern features for a modern audience"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Thinkific?

My client - a regional higher education institution - was coming from another solution that was not built for their operations. After some market research, we found Thinkific and began implementation. We were thrilled with their level of support for user migration, content migration, self-service options, and flexibility of the platform which helped us cater to our users better than ever before. The basic analytics that comes out-of-the-box are an enormous help. The in-house payment solution takes all the worry about taxes and revenue realization for each sale. My client is very happy about what this solution brings! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

The contract structure was a bit confusing, and we had to negotiate hard to get basic support in our migration efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly recommend The Leap especially to newbies in digital creation They help you dive right in"
5/5
What do you like best about Thinkific?

I have had the pleasure of using The Leap by Thinkific intermittently, particularly when I come across their email marketing campaigns. I find immense value in the newsletters they send; they serve as a great source of inspiration for creating new digital products. Each newsletter provides insightful content that motivates me to take action and enhance my creative output. Overall, The Leap offers a refreshing perspective that encourages innovation and productivity. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their digital creation process.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

I wish they had more advanced options for digitial product creation. It would be lovely to have image creators along side the copy being enhanced by Ai. I find it hard to communicate what I mean and an image would often help put my message across. For example, I sew and teach others my techniques. I do not want to be on camera so I show my how to techniques in still images so being able to create them in this fashion would save me time in the app. Such as press this French seam here, pin along this hem exactly 1.5cm up, etc. I would have to stop, take b-roll images instead. Ai is much more effiecient and would be the best plug-in for the Leap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I Enjoy The Ease Of Use"
4/5
What do you like best about Thinkific?

Initially what caught my eye were the colors and the actual overall design of The Leap website. What I like most about Leap is its ability to seamlessly integrate course creation, marketing, and community into a user-friendly platform, allowing the user to quickly produce digital guides easily.

It's also super beginner user-friendly which I love. The AI-driven tools make it easy for creators like myself to build more engaging, effective content and streamline tasks making it easier for us to launch and grow our online businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

Hmm, well, while The Leap is great for beginners, advanced users might find the customization options limiting. The drag-and-drop interface make it easy to use, but if you're looking for more detailed control over design or the backend, you might find the customization options a bit hindering.

"A easy to use platform to create product demonstrations and training educational courses."
5/5

Thinkific has a nice suite of options and features available to quickly and easily create a dynamic demonstrations or customer support videos. End users can easily log into enrolled courses and learn at their own pace and complete their certifications and administrators can easily update and modify courses and due dates to accommodate the end users needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

An area to improve Thinkific is the course quizzes and certifications options. The ability to have multiple choice or drag and drop answers can can be valuable to the administrators to help end users reinforce what they learned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great features and easy to setup yourself as an LMS"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Thinkific?

Ease of creating courses.

Reasonable cost.

Easy to brand and theme pages

Ability to integrate with Salesforce using API interface, including user administration and course completion tracking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

Lot of upsell offers, can be tricky to navigate on the admin side until you are familiar with the location and naming conventions. Support for API integration was very mimimal, the answer was always upgrade to the next pack and do it via a 3rd party. We managed to do it ourselves directly with Salesforece Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brittany and the team at Thinkific have created a great product that easily outperforms competitors in every measurable metric.
