Better LMS with Enterprise level Ux and UI

So far Heights feels great,I have used multiple non self-hosted LMS systems and a couple of them on app sumo as well but Heights gives that rich UI feeel and easy to setup everything.

Pros: Everything is good, some limits are great some you may find as restrictions just because you are on appsumo plan.

Cons: Need more payment gateway integrations specially Razorpay as major LMS systems now have Razorpay.

AWP or Mobile app or something like that would be helpful as majority of learning is done via mobile devices now a days so heights has to sooner or later integrate mobile app services.

Thank you for the review!

When it comes to features on the AppSumo plan, every single feature released out of the hundreds of updates in the last few years has been made available to our AppSumo customers for free! It is the perfect time for creators to lock in lifetime limits they need before this deal is gone!

We’ll add your +1 to the request for Razorpay. More are requesting this as time goes on, but we cannot make any promises just yet.

Regarding mobile, the student experience in Heights is completely optimized for mobile devices! There isn't anything extra you have to do when setting up your course to make this work, it is all automatic. Many students do go through courses completely on their mobile device.

Your course page will adjust on smaller browsers and fit the format of the device used. The student experience is fully functional on mobile devices: on smartphones, we support app-like gestures, for example, allowing you and your customers to swipe to the right to open the sidebar menu.

While we do not offer a native mobile app customization service, if a student saves your program to their home screen on iOS, they will automatically get an app icon that is built from your favicon and program name that you have configured in your account settings. It is also possible to use third-party services or freelance developers to easily turn your Heights program into a native mobile app.

As a design and development company we’ve published many mobile apps, but a native mobile app for Heights hasn’t been a big priority for us, because we feel that other companies use it as an excuse to charge creators more, rather than it actually being a major benefit to creators and their students. The biggest issue for creators is that if you sell any of your products in your mobile app, you would have to pay Apple 30% of your earnings. That really eats into creator’s profit, so if we did build a mobile app, it would likely act more as a viewer for your courses and lessons.

Thank you again!
