Using iPad Pro 10.5 (2017 model)

running latest iOS 12.3.1 updat.

My issue:

When I open app and try to run programming course from within the app, I get sent to the iOS Safari browser?

An we not use the app instead? (The browser is clunky) I am just starting JS course, beginning drawing part with ellipses, and in the code section, there is a little handle, you can grab to change values in the parameters, by sliding that black handle left or right.

well..

I ant do that from iOS Safari browser, because the handle just disappears. Figured the app would be optimized for it, since you know, it is the app.

Unfortunately app just sends me to browser- what’s going on? Whats the purpose of app if cant run Courses on it?

As part of our Support Community improvement project, we’re preserving inactive posts that have historical or community value and closing them to new comments. This is one of them!

If this post covers a topic that you’re interested in discussing with the community or requests a feature you’d like to see on Khan Academy, you can try to find an active post about it and add your thoughts (or feel free or create a new post if it doesn’t yet exist in the forum).

This sounds like an issue our Support Team would be best equipped to handle. You can submit a support ticket ("Report a problem" in the top right) detailing the issue so they can investigate the situation and work on finding a solution with you.

Hi tactfulgamer,

The interactive programming talkthroughs and projects have not yet been built into the mobile app---they can only be accessed via a desktop device (best option) or through an internet browser on a mobile device.

In general, programming is usually done using a laptop or desktop computer, which is why adding the programming projects to the mobile app has not been a high priority. I definitely understand the desire to be able to watch the programming talkthroughts from a mobile device, and this is definitely something that is on our wish-list for new features. However, due to our small team and limited resources, I unfortunately do not know when the talkthroughs will be built into the mobile app.

Aside from the programming course, the full features of all other courses should be accessible from within the mobile app.

Hopefully this answers your questions! If you have any additional questions, please let me know : )

Thank you Evan,

Very well explained, I understand. Was not aware of small team size either. As much as you guys have done, the amount of ratings on App Store and worldwide in general - you guys project into our minds you are a massive company.

iPad OS changes many things. Keyboard support, mouse support..etc. I understand it’s on your wish list for down the road, for all the free users.

That said, I WOULD GLADLY pay a monthly fee to have these kind of features. You guys destroy Udemy, Brilliant, Skillshare.. with your way of teaching. I honestly feel, KA should charge something for such added features and help grow the cause further.

Nothing moves without paying people’s bills and that requires money.

I’ll be awaiting for a time when you guys release some top level elite membership stuff. Of course, something that does not interfere with or diminish the quality of what you have available for the free crowd, and of course, should not interfere with the development and advancement of the free crowd.

Until then... I get it, I’m staying with Khan!
