How the Web-Based Mobile App Works
This version of The Walking Classroom mobile app is a progressive web app that will run in most web browsers both on mobile devices and computers. (Both Apple and Android/Windows.)
Functionally the same as our traditional app from the app stores, our web-based app:
- Requires no download
- Offers the ability to add a shortcut icon to device home screens
- Uses less data/resources on devices
- Requires no updates
- Uses https for safe access
Users Must Be Pre-Registered
After purchase, users are pre-registered within our system to enable immediate access to all app content (rather than requiring an in-app subscription as with our traditional app). Pre-registration steps include:
- The school/teacher/purchaser populates the provided spreadsheet with user account information (e.g., emails, passwords, etc.)
- Users are uploaded to our system by Walking Classroom personnel
- Sample accounts are tested by Walking Classroom personnel
- Classes can start using the app in about two weeks!
Subscription Pricing
Prices start at $3.99/user/month and go as low as $2.09/user/month. Subscriptions are available for 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month terms.
