learning app

Digital study tool

A learning app is software designed to teach skills or knowledge, typically on a phone or tablet.

Learning apps cover everything from languages to music to math, often using interactive exercises, games, or spaced repetition: I've been using a learning app to practice Spanish.

The format suits self-paced study in short sessions.
