While generally i think this is a great app, it would definitely be more beneficial if each page was fitted to the users phone, as for the majority of slides, you need to scroll for just an additional líne or two. In a lot of instances, removing large unnecessary graphics would sort the problem. A flagging system for queries regarding questions (IE when the answer is marked as wrong but is correct) would also be very helpful. There are ads, but they are not frequent enough to be bothersome.

I'm delighted that you finally have an app, I've been using Alison for years and often found the Web interface a little challenging on the phone. It's easy to navigate and fairly intuitive. It would be nice to have a "next" tab in the full screen view, and perhaps the medals on the profile.... but that's just me picking threads.

"Learn Anything, Anywhere, Anytime For Free." & " ...the world’s largest free online learning and empowerment platform." Am I missing something? Because my experience compared to nearly every other reviewer couldn't be more different. After doing the short questionnaire following signing up I'm taken to a BLANK list of available courses... the only link available is an advertisement for Allison courses at 20% off... And... that's my experience.
