If iPhone makes a good platform for mobile education, then iPad makes a great platform for learning. To really take advantage of what iPad can do we built a new app from the ground up especially for iPad. This isn’t just a blown up version of the iPhone app, but a complete rethink of how we’re doing things.
The most exciting change is LessonsMob, a cloud services platform we built which allows content updates on your device with just a simple sync. We can update existing practice questions and add new ones as state laws change.
We’ve also added the ability to bookmark questions which you’d like to review later. You can even write your own notes.
The biggest feature is how we took advantage of iPad’s larger screen. We were able to eliminate all navigation to different screens. The smaller size of the iPhone screen required moving around different screens to get things done, which is a significant distraction when you’re focused on learning.
In fact, the redesign is entirely focused on reducing distractions while you’re studying. The subdued white metallic theme, no ads, lack of hyperlinks in study material, annoying popups urging you to write a review, and the hyper-clean single screen design are all intended to help you study better… without distractions.
And one more thing… the price is still the amazing low at just $2.99.
