What The Great Courses Is Used For

The Great Courses appears to be an education app for watching course-based video lessons on a phone. Based on the metadata, it is commonly used by people who want structured learning in subjects such as history, science, math, philosophy, religion, literature, health, travel, and personal or professional development. It seems designed for learners who want to study at their own pace, either by following a full course or by exploring individual topics.

The app also appears to support both online and offline viewing, which may be useful for commuters, travelers, or anyone who wants to continue lessons without a constant internet connection. The listed permissions, such as network access, storage access, Bluetooth-related access, and preventing sleep, fit a media-and-learning app that streams video, stores downloaded content, and keeps playback active during use. Existing users can sign in to access purchases or subscription content, while new users may be able to register and subscribe in the app.
