- Thinkific's new Branded Mobile solution provides Creators
with their own customizable mobile app for their online courses and
communities - all under the Creator's own brand
- Branded apps enable Creators to deliver incredible
educational and community experiences that meet their students
exactly where and when they want to learn
VANCOUVER, BC, April 18,
2023 /PRNewswire/ - Thinkific Labs Inc. ("Thinkific"
or the "Company") (TSX: THNC), a leading platform for creating,
marketing, and selling online learning products, today announced
the launch of 'Branded Mobile', an industry-first, white labeled
custom app development solution for fast-scaling Creator Educators
and enterprise-level businesses.
As online learning continues to evolve, learning anywhere,
anytime is key for students. Market research suggests however that,
to date, the complexity, cost and time involved, has made creating
branded mobile solutions prohibitive. The average market cost to
develop, publish, and maintain an advanced mobile app stands at up
to $82,000 with a development period
of up to 19 weeks*. Through a staged process that combines
automation with specialist consultation, Thinkific can help
Creators to develop and deploy advanced, feature-rich apps that
highlight their unique brand identity for a small monthly fee.
With Thinkific's Branded Mobile offering features like push
notifications, on-the-go access, and activity feeds right in
students' pockets, students are able to stay engaged and connected
to content and their community at all times. By enabling students
to control their learning experience, mobile apps have been shown
to increase course completion rates and community engagement within
mobile learning, helping Creator Educators build stronger, more
successful businesses.
Businesses and Creators have the ability to fully customize
their app listings in the Google Play and Apple App Stores to
reflect their unique brand identity, and can tailor in-app
experiences to their specific audiences and course design.
"We have a laser-focus on the delivery of consistent innovation,
providing Creators with the best and most advanced tools to build
and scale incredible online businesses," said Greg Smith, CEO of Thinkific. "The mobile
learning market is seeing growth, and through our new Branded
Mobile, white labeled app solution, we're able to quickly and cost
effectively fast-track a Creator's brand and business to mobile
through their own unique branded app. There, they can deliver
incredible educational and community experiences that meet their
students exactly where and when they want to learn."
Branded apps offer students a seamless learning experience,
providing comprehensive, on-the-go access to course materials,
including video, audio, PDF, text and downloadable lessons.
Students also benefit from intuitive lesson navigation and progress
tracking, giving them flexibility to learn on their own terms and
pick up where they left off.
For learning communities, Branded Mobile apps create a
powerful, 'sticky' environment, promoting consistent user
activity and engagement. With activity feeds and community spaces,
students have multiple reasons to keep coming back, using the
devices they check most.
Creator Educator Cinnamon McCann, Founder of Driven Spice, says,
"Mobile creates flexibility for both students and instructors. I
could handle questions and replies early on, something that
increases students' overall experience. The app increased the
engagement level with notifications, which helps students stay
committed and more likely to complete the program."
Branded Mobile is currently available to Thinkific Plus
customers and will be rolled out to additional plans in the coming
months.
Thinkific Also Launches Thinkific Mobile App
Thinkific has also launched a fully accessible, mobile solution
for Creators at any stage of their journey. The Thinkific Mobile
App will be made available as a free addition to select paid
packages.
