I was looking at the Populi app on a students phone yesterday and noticed that they do not have access to the "Lessons" tab in their courses. I think this causes them to skip around instead of following the path outlined in the lessons. Also, I think they are missing out on videos, etc.

Elizabeth Reed I had a student contact me this morning about not being able to see their Lessons on the Populi app, or access important content for the course.
Having an android phone myself, I was unable to verify their statements so urged them to contact Populi support directly.
Is there a place on the Knowledge Base that explains the app and its features?

Adam Sentz @Elizabeth - Lessons aren't available in the iOS app yet. We also don't have documentation on the mobile app in our KB yet.

Peter Hurley It's true. No lessons in the app. Considering its significance, especially compared to what is there, e.g. "attendance", it is just unbelievable. Otherwise, I am thankful for Populi app improvements over the last couple years. It was 100% waste and useless not long ago.

Elizabeth Reed So, I just looked at a student's iPhone and Lessons are still not available... what's up??

Cheryl McLim We would love to see the app have more features.

Adam Sentz @Elizabeth - We had to completely rewrite the mobile app so it's taken longer than we would have liked, but there's an update that includes Lessons and Tests working its way through QA.

Sarah Bierle I had a student looking for the syllabus on the app this weekend while they were traveling for basketball and the team mentioned that it would be really helpful to have that on the app as well to be able to reference it electronically on their phones. Would be great to have that considered as well - thanks!

Adam Sentz Sarah Bierle - It's coming.

Isaiah Allen Access to lessons still on its way? My app says, "Update" to get access, but there's no way to update in the app. The Settings menu only allows users to log off. How do we get access to lessons and make them available to students in the mobile app?
