We are pleased to announce the availability of our FREE Pluralsight for Android app. You can find it in the Android Market, and it only takes seconds to install and get running.
Pluralsight for Android makes it easy to keep watching your favorite Pluralsight On-Demand! training courses on the go, from anywhere, over WIFI or your wireless data plan.
Once you install it, you can browse the entire Pluralsight training library and select courses to watch. In order to play most videos, you’ll need to login with your Pluralsight credentials. Although our website allows you to login with either your email or your Pluralsight username, this app requires you to login with your Pluralsight username. You can discover your username on ‘your account‘ page on the website, as shown here.
If you don’t have a Pluralsight subscription, you can get one here for only $29/mo that gives you access to watch all courses in the library with this app.
You can browse the library by technology (e.g., ASP.NET, Silverlight, SharePoint, etc) to see the list of courses in that area.
This screenshot shows the list of Silverlight courses, organized in order of difficulty level (green = beginner, yellow = intermediate, red = advanced). If you click on one of these courses, you’ll see a listing of the individual course modules that you can browse and watch in whatever order you choose, and we’ll keep track of what you watch.
Once you begin playing a course module, the flexible video player gives you simple controls for moving around in the current video clip. The player also provides a “module outline” that pops out from the left side, making it easy for you to jump around to the other video clips within the module. These features make our courses very easy to navigate and explore, especially when you’re limited on time or have specific learning needs.
You can also search the entire course library to identify specific course modules that cover the areas you care about. This makes it easy to discover videos and to use the library as a reference while you’re working on a project and get stuck with a problem.
And whether you watch the videos from the Pluralsight website or from this app, we keep track of your learning progress (via the check marks you see above) so you’ll know where to continue next time you login from either application.
This is a beta release, so we appreciate your patience with any problems. All the usual beta caveats apply. Please report any issues you discover and we’ll do our best to resolve them asap. We appreciate your support and hope you enjoy Pluralsight for Android!

PS – We also recently shipped Pluralsight for iOS and Pluralsight for WP7.
Awesome. Downloaded, installing as I’m typing this.
Just some feedback. Works great on my HTC Desire HD. Where can we report improvements/bugs? The “Your Account” shows my subscription expires yesterday (when I’ve installed and logged onto the Pluralsight app).
Totally cool! Works great on my Hero. Not so much on my Galaxy Tab. As this is a beta, I’m sure that things will improve. Thanks again!
Looks cool.. thanks pluralsight.. you rocks..
Sweet. Thanks guys!
Can’t wait to try this out.
Looking forward to the WP7 version!
Great idea to give access trough the app.
Can’t wait for WP7 version.
Excellent idea. Looking forward to being able to watch this stuff on my phone.
Exactly what I’ve been waiting for!!!!
First course I brought worked great but now I’m getting “IOException calling prepare(): status=0×1″ on all when trying to start a course. Using an original Droid over 3G.
It works great on my Android XOOM tablet. I have been anxiously waiting for this. Thanks alot!!
Awesome guys..!! Waiting for a long time finally.. Thanks a lot!

getting “IOException calling prepare(): status=0×1″ on my Evo and on my gTablet
This is a really great app, but on my Droid Incredible I keep getting “IOException calling prepare(): Prepare failed.: status=0×1″. If I dismiss it enough times and keep trying, eventually I can get in and watch some content, but after several minutes it crashes with the same error again and I have to start the lesson over again. I look forward to an update that resolves this issue! Keep up the great work!

Ditto, IOException calling prepare(): status=0×1 on mine
We should have a new release available next week that addresses the exceptions reported above. Thanks for your patience.
Pingback: Update of Pluralsight (Beta) for Android Available | the official pluralsight blog
We released a new version of the Pluralsight (Beta) Android app over the weekend (mostly bug fixes). We believe it addresses most of the video playback issues reported here – the experience should be more stable across a wider range of Android devices. Please continue to report any issues you experience with the update. Thanks!
Still gives me the same IOException calling prepare(): status=0×1.
I’m using a rooted nook color.
Can’t wait to use it. Thanks
Black Berry ?
For the widest accessibility, why not offer a browser-based version that supports Flash? I still can’t get it to work on my Nook. SafariBooksOnline videos work great on it. Maybe I should just stick with them. Bummer.
An IOException calling prepare(): Prepare failed.: status 0x3E9 on my Archos 101 (Andriod 2.2)
Me too, any chance of a fix?
Fails on my lg optimus 2x on android 2.3 with error: IOException state 0×1
still getting error ioexception state0x1 on samsung galaxy tab
app works great, is there a way to use the app to download the videos over WiFi then watch them when WiFi or 3g isn’t available?
Yes, that’s our “offline viewing” feature that we provide with our Plus plans. You can read more about it here: http://www.pluralsight-training.net/microsoft/Products/OfflineViewing
Crashes every time on my Samsung Android 2.3 device. Not able to view a single video on it. Any pointers to fix this issue is highly appreciated.
I have the same problem as Vikash, though I am running using the Kindle Fire. I can browse the course catalog, but I am unable to actually watch anything. Very frustrating…..
