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 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.
