How to Share Your Mobile App

Once the Thinkific Mobile App is enabled on your account, you can start sharing the app with your students! This article outlines how you can access and share the Thinkific app and provides templates you can use when communicating with your learners.

Learner Experience

To download the app, your students will need to open the Apple Store or the Google Play Store and search for the Thinkific app store listing. There, they will be able to download and install the app. When they open the app, they can search for your school, using your school name.

If your students have already downloaded the Thinkific Mobile app, they can also search for your school directly in the app.

For detailed instructions on the installation process, see: How to Install and Log In to the Thinkific Mobile App (Student Resource).

How to Share Your App

The easiest way for your audience to download and access your courses or communities through the Thinkific mobile app is by using a direct app store link. Your audience will be able to download the app from the Apple Store or the Google Play Store and search for your school.

To access your school, students need to:

Visit an app store using one of the following links:
- Download the Thinkific Mobile app on the Google Play Store
- Download the Thinkific Mobile app on the Apple App Store
Download the mobile app
Search for your school, using your school name

These instructions can also be found under the Mobile App section of your Admin Dashboard.

Your students need to use your school name, and NOT your school URL. Using school URL will not work correctly.

To help you spread the word, we put together the templates below, which you can use to tell your audience about the app.

Here’s a lesson outline to help you get started:
