Updating a Negative Review of this Software

I'm updating my review of this software as a result of a very positive experience with "Jude" from support. My courses were flagged by the toxicity checker and boy was I angry about this because I am a professional who deals with relationship counseling of which sex forms a part and people need to be educated about this. I did leave a negative review and I am updating this because the support staff at Online Course host has Jude who actually took the time to review my credentials to verify I was legit. Part of my anger was the arbitrary blocking of my content but I have to say this software has some pretty solid people working at support which is so much more important than software operation. As to the actual software, it is much better and cost effective than 99% of the software on appsumo. Vasco keeps adding stuff which is more value than what he is asking on this platform so I gotta give this five stars hands down.

Thank you for updating the review David, we really appretiate it. The toxicity checker has been adjusted to be more flexible. We understand that your courses are of educational nature, and are happy to have you on our platform. Again I'm very sorry about the initial misunderstanding, and I'm happy that we managed to sort things out in the best way. Thank you so much for the feedback, and please...

Amazing support, great product

Very happy with my purchase. The tool is pretty straight forward and easy to navigate. You can customize a lot about your courses, communities (did not get there yet) and so on. There are some limits ofc. Like the coupon placement (or even general visibility), text under the CTA button that's unchangable and some other minor things that might need a little more editing options. But in general the product does what it's supposed to do very well.
I'm still exploring the options and just started my 1st "course" which is a set of hypnotic recordings for traders, but it does look good.

What's more support is pure gold! They're patient and helpful. I had issues with my custom domain that was persistant yet support managed it finally.
5 tacos well deserved!

I am out but it was a good solution for a few months...

As Vasco actually replied and some team members from his support team are really nice and helpful I have changed my review here to prevent damage for his company.

I really wanted to use OnlineCourseHost for my audience (about 50000 people) but due to some AI generated penalties I learned that this solution can be taken offline by AI judgements at any time.

Today it was a false alarm, but now that I am aware that this can happen at any time I will go with Heartbeat and also setup HumHub (as second fallback option) because I don't like to make the same error twice.

I guess Vasco has good intentions and he knows how to limit the damage, but the trust is gone and it would take a lot of effort to gain it back.

I don't think he will do it as most people avoid the effort it takes...

Actually OnlineCourseHost was technically the best option ( and I tried a lot) but I wouldn't risk to send all my (paying) customers to a solution that can be taken offline by a false AI claim at any time...

After all, if you buy this, be aware that there is some automated AI that will be able to take all your stuff offline at any time.

And I have made several attempts to explain that double optin is a requirement in several countries, but it still isn't available.

So I am gone, but - of course - you can make your own decision...

Hi Raimund, I am very sorry for the confusion. We run a new version of our AI toxicity checker today, and due to an error in the parameters, we got a few false positives. This is now fixed, and all is back to normal. We have nothing against AI courses and there is nothing wrong with your courses, we use AI ourselves and believe in it. The other day myself as an instructor got an accidental email...

Insane

I shared a few videos on their platform and a YEAR later they sent me a message saying they didn't like the topic (b2b sales) and disabled the course.

Avoid.

I'm really sorry for the confusion, we run our AI toxicity checker today and it accidentally flagged your account wrongly. Please write to helpdesk@onlinecoursehost.com and we will remove the strikes. Don't worry your account or courses will NOT be deleted, the courses are just unpublished. This was an accident, B2B sales are perfectly fine please don't worry. If you write to helpdesk we will take...

Very helpful support + multiple language

Very helpful support! Imagine my hassle: I created and uploaded 2 courses, 20+10 videos in total. Then I accidentally refunded the wrong code on Appsumo!?!? BANG! I thought all hope was lost, all my efforts were wasted! Then, I reached out to support, activated another code and BOOM problem solved! The courses were just in DRAFT! So if you get lost, just ask their support. It's not that fast, but very kind and useful! (thanks Abisola!)

I had the same struggle someone mentioned about my rare language. I thought it was only English, but after asking, it's clearer: SITE's language and COURSE language are not the same. I can change both, correct? Please clarify for all of us Sumolings!

Also, I'm just testing the PDF feature you mentioned,
And the drip email feature,
also use it under my own domain,
so _short_ tutorial howto videos would be great!
Thanks
