Apple TV App

Interact runs on Apple TV. It sounds unusual for a learning app, and then you review a lesson from the couch on a 55 inch screen and it makes complete sense.

What it does

• Plan. Browse your curriculum: subjects, goals, and resources, rendered for the big screen.
• Learn. Play through lessons with the remote. Flashcards, clozes, quizzes, and typed answers all work, with image occlusions rendered beautifully at TV size.
• Video resources. Filter a subject for its video resources and jump straight into the YouTube app to watch. Your watch-later list and your curriculum become the same thing.
• Progress. Your streak and history, visible from across the room.

Why it's great

Reviews as a shared activity. Lessons on a TV are naturally social. Quiz questions get shouted at the screen, flashcards turn into family trivia, and studying stops being a thing you do alone at a desk.

A better video workflow. A huge amount of learning content lives on YouTube, and the TV is where video actually gets watched. Save videos as resources on your subjects, watch them from the TV app, then review the generated lessons on your phone or the web.

Typing without pain. Typed answers use the TV keyboard with dictation support, so you can just say the answer into the remote.

Getting it
