I'm rating teachable based on my experience as a consumer of classes on teachable. I suspect that if a user only has a single class on teachable, then the experience isn't too bad. However, if you have multiple classes from different instructors, it's a bit of a nightmare. Basically, the site gets confused about which class you are on. Because of poor design of their website, you can have some classes (from different instructors) which all have the same password (and are on your dashboard) and some classes which have different passwords (and are not on your dashboard). The website tries to remember what you were doing last, but it can get confused and may try to log you in to a class with the wrong password (which doesn't work). Teachable's solution is to tell users to "clear their cookies". I understand this solution. It's what website developers tell customer service to say when development is too lazy, too inept, or too busy to fix the problem (admittedly, often the latter). Regardless, it's like telling me to remove both rear tires on my car and put them back on every time I want to go for a drive. Teachers should be very careful before choosing teachable as a platform.
