Looks good…until you use it.

Promises great features, until you realize it is full of multiple strange UI choices – the kind you expect out of buggy smartphone apps.
Biggest issue is that module completion requires manually clicking a button – not at the end of a lesson, but at the beginning, to complete. It’s just one of many weird oddities you’ll discover while developing with it.
TutorLMS is also not very friendly to use with any other login system than its own, and tries to force you into its own ecosystem for everything else as well. Warning message boxes are not editable without going into the theme templates either, which tend to change with large updates (e.g., the 2.0 version to 3.0).
Back end settings often tend to overlap in odd ways and thus conflict in manners that aren’t intuitive.
It is not the worst WordPress LMS of its peers, but it is a poster child for being typical of many plugins of this type: over-engineered and under-tested. Think Adobe; that’s TutorLMS.

Thank you.
As you know Rashed, we have our complaints with the manner by which the Themium team handle these issues. While you say your team appreciates this feedback, the actions – or rather, inaction – of the TutorLMS team speak for themselves. The UI still contains misleading elements that make no logical sense, there are settings and features throughout TutorLMS that conflict with each other, and widespread feature requests grounded in a desire to gain simple settings that provide workarounds for some of these usability issues – requests that are public here in the Support forum – have been ignored or given the runaround.
The corporate boilerplate of the TutorLMS team’s replies speaks volumes.
For those a bit more curious, I highly recommend reviewing some of the more lengthily support threads here to get an idea of how the TutorLMS team handles serious usability issues and bug reports.
