How to Install and Log In to the Thinkific Mobile App (Student Resource)

The Thinkific Mobile app allows you to access your courses or communities from anywhere or anytime! Read this article to see how you can download, install, or log in to the Thinkific Mobile app.

This article covers the basics of how to install and log in to the Thinkific mobile app as a student on sites where the mobile app has been enabled. Make sure to contact your instructor if you have any additional questions!

How to Install the Mobile App

Make sure that your device adheres to the operating system requirements for the app: OS (Operating System) Requirements for the Thinkific Mobile App (Student Resource).

The easiest way to access your enrolled courses or communities in the Thinkific mobile app is through a QR code or a mobile sharing link that your Instructor will share. The sharing link will look something like this:

https://thinkificmobile.page.link/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

If you cannot find the link, make sure to reach out to your Instructor.

The Mobile app needs to be enabled on the site before you can use it. If you are not sure if this is the case, reach out to your instructor to confirm.

You can also install the app directly from the Apple App Store (for iOS) or the Google Play Store (for Android).

How to Log In to the Mobile App

If you have downloaded the app using a mobile sharing link or a QR Code, open the app on your device. You will be brought to the launch screen of the school that provided you with the link. If you do not see the screen, use the sharing link or scan the QR code again. Once on the screen:

Review Thinkific's Privacy policy and Terms of Use
Click Continue
Your site's login screen will open in a browser, log in using your credentials or a Social Media log in option you used to create your account (Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Apple)
If you use a sign-in method different from the one you used when creating an account, you might not see your courses or communities. For example, if you created your account using an email, but are signing in using Apple SSO with your email hidden, you will create a new account instead of accessing your original one.
You will be automatically redirected to the app if a login is successful

By clicking Continue you confirm that you have read and agree to Thinkific's Privacy Policy or Terms of Use

You can now use the app! Learn more on how to do it here: Getting Started With the Mobile App (Student Resource).

How to Log In without a Sharing Link or a QR Code

If you cannot find the link, make sure to reach out to your Instructor. They can also confirm if the mobile app is enabled on their site.

However, if you lost the link or are unable to use the QR code, you can also search for your school directly in the app! To do that:

Download and install the Thinkific mobile app from the Apple App Store (for iOS) or the Google Play Store (for Android)
Open the app on your device
In the search bar, type in a name of a school or an organization you want to log in
Click enter
In the list of results, find the school you want to log in
Make sure to confirm that the URL of the school you are logging in matches the URL of your school.
Select the school
Your site's login screen will open in a browser, log in using your credentials or a Social Media log in option you used to create your account (Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Apple)
If you use a sign-in method different from the one you used when creating an account, you might not see your courses or communities. For example, if you created your account using an email, but are signing in using Apple SSO with your email hidden, you will create a new account instead of accessing your original one.
You will be automatically redirected to the app if login is successful

If you have opened your app using a link or a QR code from one school, but would like to log in to a different school:

Open the Thinkific app on your device
On a page with the name of your school, click on Visit Thinkific
In the search bar, type in a name of a school or an organization you want to log in
Click enter
In the list of results, find the school you want to log in
Make sure to confirm that the URL of the school you are logging in matches the URL of your school.
Select the school
Your site's login screen will open in a browser, log in using your credentials or a Social Media log in option you used to create your account (Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Apple)
If you use a sign-in method different from the one you used when creating an account, you might not see your courses or communities. For example, if you created your account using an email, but are signing in using Apple SSO with your email hidden, you will create a new account instead of accessing your original one.
You will be automatically redirected to the app if a login is successful

Important Considerations

Not every site will have a mobile app feature enabled - when in doubt, reach out to your Instructor.
