What's happening?
We're launching the EP Progressive Web App (PWA) for a faster, smoother, and more secure experience. A PWA functions like an app but doesn’t require downloads. It’s faster, auto-updates, and ensures better security & stability, so you always have the latest version. This means:
✅ The EP mobile apps will be gradually removed from the Android and iOS app stores.
✅ You can continue using EP via your web browser or by installing the PWA (recommended).
✅ Most features remain unchanged, but:
- To run assessments on iPad, please ensure that full-screen monitor mode is turned off. We suggest using iOS Guided Access mode for closed-book assessments.
- For teachers, we recommend using EP on desktop for the best experience.
