Comment actionsHi, @zainkazi27! Since the mobile app was developed more recently than the website, there are several features that it doesn’t have. That said, the team is always working towards improving the app, and I have added your feedback to our tracker to raise more awareness.
If you want the full Khan Academy experience, you can always access the Khan Academy website through your device's browser. Our platform works best on Google Chrome.

Dawn,
I understand your point as to why some features that are on the website are not on the app, but can you tell me why there are some features on the app that can't be found, or are hard to find, on the website?
Partner content, for instance, is one of my favorite sections due to the variety of content and out of the box lessons and I also think it is helpful with getting people interested in learning. If I'm a kid and I am wondering what I will get out of paying attention in Math class, the Pixar content is right for me. If I am a basketball fan the LeBron Asks playlist is my jam. If I am a person who likes to look at the sky and wonder, I can watch Big History and learn. Et Cetera. Each section in Partner Content appeals to certain interests and therefore will draw students form a variety of backgrounds and life stages, some of whom might only have a computer (or have access to one) and not a smartphone or tablet.
Also, in regards to another post of mine, I like that the app allows you to comment and ask questions about the videos without jumping through hoops, unlike the website, which pulls up a pop up video player, accomplishing nothing but to add extra steps if students want to engage in dialogue about the video.
Thanks,
Wyatt

She gave you the 'Official comment'. I just got the exact same word-for-word from a different person a few days ago. I year after you. Everyone is pushing Google Chrome. I just received a message asking how my 'Kroger experience' went today after I got home from the grocery store. I guess I should have turned off my phone before I went shopping.
