Interesting LMS but...

Thank you for this amazing Appsumo deal.

I'm trying MasterStudy on my website and I have many comments.
I'm using Elementor Pro with Astra Theme.

Pros:
+ Great deal for a LMS! Don't miss it!
+ A lot of options included
+ Possibility to show Udemy courses on your own website
+ Many interesting integrations.

Cons:
- Some bugs: For example, I changed the main color in the General settings and it makes the stars rating disappeared, we only see the numbers now.
- Not able to customize the LMS as I want. On the archive page I can add anything but not customize the main LMS content (tabs, buttons, design, content, colors, ...).
- The add-ons in Elementor are not customizable (may be with custom CSS, I didn't try that).
- The terms (courses categories, etc) are not listed in all the dynamic content option via Elementor so we can't really use this customization option neither.

Suggestions:
1. Having breadcrumbs inside the course.
2. Being able to customize the Lesson's styles. Only 2 styles available but we can't change the background color.
3. Empty tabs inside a course shouldn't appear in the course page. Or give us the option to not show the tab for each course and not in the settings for all the courses.
4. It can be interesting if students can login with social media (Facebook, Linkedin, gmail account, ...)
5. Increase the customization options for the entire LMS without coding CSS, to be able to change the color of the button "Enroll course", the background of the header and the tab, etc.
6. in the Udemy course's style, I can't change the color of the button "read more". In my theme it's dark on dark so not visible...
7. In order to be accessible, videos need to have captions or transcript. it can be nice to integrate the option directly in the LMS, for now I only have the wordpress subtitles option. I added the transcript via Elementor as "expand/collapse".
8. Possibility of deleting the mention "30-Day Money-Back Guarantee" in the course page
9. If the lesson title is too long, it shows in a funny way in the curriculum view. I think it's a bug. (usecase: when adding a video lesson type with a duration for the video [3 columns: lesson number+type - lesson title - video length] it shows on 3 different lines)

I feel really limited despite all the features listed.

I won't compare with LearnDash as it's not the same price range, but I'm not sure it'll be useful for me now if we can't customize it more than that.

I'm giving 4 tacos because it's a good deal and that I know it can be improved with good will. But I didn't really noticed a lot of improvements in term of customization since I tried it 3 years ago. I hope you'll work on the customization features really soon.

Keep me posted if I missed some customization options.
