The first five minutes decide whether a study app becomes a habit or a tab you close. Ours used to spend those minutes asking questions: birth year, language, nickname, a parent’s email, a list of courses, all before the product showed you anything. That wall is gone, and what is behind it has changed too.
Sign up and you are in
Sign up with Google or with an email address, and the next screen is Home. The language you signed up in is the language the app opens in. Anything the old wizard asked for is now asked inside the app, in context, when there is something to attach it to. Settings has a birth year field for exactly that.
A class invite behaves the same way: click the link, and you are in the class, with no form in between.
A demo that runs on our pages
An empty dashboard asks you for something you may not have on the day you sign up: a page of notes. So Home now opens with a short demo instead. Pick a topic (Maths, Science, Space, or Animals & Nature), set your age, and watch the app scan a page, read the tutor’s summary, flip three cards, answer three questions and collect the reward. It takes about a minute.
Nothing of yours is created. The pages are ours, so there is no course, note or card left in your library afterwards. The XP and coins you earn are real, and they are paid once, so running Another challenge shows your totals rather than paying twice. The challenge comes in four age bands and all eleven languages, and Skip for now is remembered: skip it, and it stays skipped on every device.
Points you can see arriving
When you get an answer right, a small chip peels off the answer, flies to the header and shrinks into the counter as the number ticks up. It is a small thing, and it is the thing that connects what you did to what you earned.
Counters now stay hidden until there is something in them. A new account shows no XP, coins or gems until the first ones arrive, and then they appear. Hearts are the exception and always show, because zero hearts is exactly the moment you need to see the number. New accounts also start at zero coins and earn their first ones, from the demo or from ordinary studying.
A way to stop
Cards, Quiz and Learn each have a bar under the header that stops the session and takes you back to the course picker. On Android, the back gesture does the same. A quiz you stop halfway is closed properly, so the minutes you did put in still count towards your quests.
Smaller things
- Scan from a YouTube link. The Scan screen takes a video link alongside photos, PDFs and pasted text, and reads the transcript.
- The flashcards picker no longer asks whether you want multiple choice or typed answers. A flip card has no such split.
- Changing your language in Settings applies straight away.
- The verification email lands you on the sign-in page and signs you in, instead of dropping you on the homepage as if nothing had happened.
One question on the way out
On a desktop, if your pointer heads for the tab bar after you have been in the app for a while, a small dialog asks whether it was for you, and why. It appears once per browser, ever. It never blocks you from leaving, and Escape closes it. If you answer, thank you: the only thing we can learn from someone walking out is what they tell us on the way.
Ready when you are. Sign up, and let the demo run.
