CHANGELOG

Track the evolution of Udemie. From initial beta to the powerful learning OS it is today.

v3.5.11

StableAug 25, 2026

Udemy video downloads now use the same resilient download engine on every plan, reducing failures caused by expired media links
Udemie now checks and repairs its download components automatically at startup and again before a video download gives up
Settings now shows the health of the video download engine and lets you repair or update it when needed

StableAug 17, 2026

Fixed: signing in to a personal Udemy account opened Udemy's homepage instead of its login page, leaving you to find the login link yourself
Fixed: the "start downloads automatically" switch showed as off when it was on — and saving Settings then really did turn it off, quietly leaving every download paused

StableAug 17, 2026

New here? Udemie now walks you through it — pick your platform, sign in without leaving the app, and it points you to your first download
Signing in happens inside Udemie instead of a separate window, so the page you were reading stays where you left it
Course pages open on the first chapter instead of every chapter closed
A download that partly worked now says so, instead of being reported in the same red as one that failed completely
Downloads that fail now name the reason — a full disk, an expired link — where many used to just say something went wrong

StableAug 16, 2026

Invite a friend and earn free PRO time: a week when they buy monthly, two weeks for yearly, a month for Lifetime. No cap, no payouts to chase—your own PRO simply lasts longer. Get your link
When a course's lessons don't load, Udemie now tells you why—an expired session, a verification check, a rate limit or a connection problem—instead of saying the course is empty, and offers to retry when retrying can help
Signing in now explains up front that it happens on Udemy's own page, and that only the session token is kept, on your computer

StableAug 15, 2026

Signing in to Udemy no longer gives up while you're still signing in—verification steps and two-factor prompts have the time they need
If Udemy shows a verification step, you can now switch to the browser extension right from the message and skip it entirely

StableAug 11, 2026

Fixed: downloaded files were sometimes reported as missing when they were right there
A free trial without a card now runs 24 hours; the 7-day trial is available with a card
Every "get the app" link now lands on the downloads page
Downloads resumed after a restart now count against your monthly allowance once, as they always should have

StableAug 9, 2026

Free downloads now run at full speed—the 350 KB/s cap is gone
The free plan is now 30 lectures a month across every course, renewing on the 1st. PRO stays unlimited
Downloads that fail now tell you what went wrong instead of showing an exit code
Fixed: some failures were reported without any detail at all, so a whole course could fail silently

StableAug 7, 2026

Reinstalling no longer costs you a device: your licence recognizes the same computer, even after a clean install
Out of device slots? Move your licence to the computer you're on, straight from Settings—no support ticket needed
Fixed: "Device limit reached" when reactivating on the very same machine
Courses with protected lectures now show one clear message instead of one per lecture—and the rest of the course keeps downloading

StableAug 4, 2026

1080p on PRO: your courses now save at the best quality available
PRO switches to the best quality on its own, and tells you when it does
Fixed: Udemy downloads failing to start on a PRO account
Fixed: some downloads finished but wouldn't play—the player now spots them and offers to download them again
Downloads that get stuck now recover on their own
Clearer quality choice in Settings

StableJul 28, 2026

Udemy Business is here: sign in to your organization's Udemy Business portal—including single sign-on with Google, Microsoft, or Okta—and take your company courses offline
Multiple accounts, side by side: keep a personal and a Business account connected at once—each remembers its own organization portal, so switching never mixes up your libraries
Rate Udemie in a click: a new button in the sidebar takes you straight to the store whenever you're ready to leave a review
Sharper everyday UX: clearer subtitle notifications, a tidier library order, and smarter download-all behavior
Stability and polish across login, downloads, and the library

StableJul 15, 2026

AI Lecture Summaries: A concise, auto-generated recap appears moments after you open any lecture with subtitles—no clicking required
Chat with your courses: Ask any downloaded course a question and get an answer with citations that jump you straight to the exact lecture and timestamp—retrieval runs on your own machine
Semantic search across your library: Search what was said, not just titles, and land on the right second of the right lecture—the index is built locally so your transcripts never leave your PC
AI Learning Path: Udemie orders your whole library into a study plan and shows you exactly what to watch next
Native-language subtitles: On-the-fly AI translation lets you read subtitles in your language while the lecturer teaches in theirs
Plugins for extensibility: Udemie is now extensible—add optional tools when you need them and keep the core app lean
Chrome extension: Send a course to Udemie in one click while you browse, without leaving the web or copying URLs. Get the extension
Clearer Free & PRO: One full course on us, plus a first-section preview of every other course; PRO unlocks them all in full quality
Stay in the loop: Subscribe from inside the app to get update and bug-fix news by email—no account needed
Honest DRM handling: Protected lectures now show a clear 'not supported' message instead of a silent failure
Smoother, sturdier: Faster player start and a batch of stability fixes across downloads and the library
