I love the look of the platform. I particularly liked that I could double tap on the screen and forward or rewind if I missed a part. I loved how the instructor took the time to explain the processes of how to take nice pictures for my page.

It was actually very interesting to watch. I like the way he (the instructor) took all the steps slowly and made it easy to understand. I actually learnt lot from the videos. I learnt useful tips that I can use for my business page too.
