Apart from the abundance of new courses and the upgraded interface, there are several other significant changes in this version. These include:
- Added a widget that allows for quick access to the app's most useful features.
- The addition of a star rating system to the app's study recommendations, allowing users to rate and review courses they've taken or are taking.
- Ability to leave a review after every single video in a course, allowing users to provide more detailed feedback about the videos they've watched.
- Introduced the concept of a Favorites list, allowing users to save courses and videos they find particularly useful or relevant to their studies.
- Introduced a new way of displaying video content, allowing users to see video thumbnails next to text in a review.
- Introduced the concept of a Course Card, which is basically just a fancy wallpaper that users can select and customize as a background for their courses. The Course Card is organized into a grid, with the icons of all the courses a user has enrolled in. Cards can be downloaded from the app's main menu.
- New icons and a new font have been added to the app's main menu, giving it a fresh coat of paint.
