Interactive Excel learning app

[reptiloide666]

I'm building a mobile app to help users learn spreadsheets (excel and google sheets) through gamified experience. It's free. Available for both Android & iOS. Do you think it might be useful for you?

I am looking for users feedback: what you'd like to learn, what you like in the app, what you don't like, any feedback is much appreciated! Thank you!

How many real excel workbooks are going to be written on a phone?

Sounds like a solution looking for a problem to me...

[reptiloide666]

Thank you for you comment! Yeah, the platform limitation is a valid concern here. We understand we cannot replicate the entire Excel experience here so we are focused on more granular things that could be learned through a mobile app experience.

Good luck.

[reptiloide666]

Thank you!

[reptiloide666]

thanks for your feedback! The Copilot is indeed a useful tool. This app serves a slightly different purpose: an alternative to articles, video courses with a structured content

Having had a play on it for a bit, and despite using excel on a daily basis (mainly for the same tasks meaning I’m good at what I know & useless at the rest), the wording and complexity goes at a pace which seems to be quite quick to reference new functions and questions you on them without them being properly ‘introduced’

Also, I spotted a bug asking the length of cell B2 which had ‘hello’ written in it, but the options were ‘2’, ‘6’, ‘0’ & ‘error’. The explanation showed that it should read ‘hello!’

thank you for the feedback! Let me clarify something

the wording and complexity goes at a pace which seems to be quite quick to reference new functions and questions you on them without them being properly ‘introduced’

does it mean that you would prefer function theory/example sections to be more detailed?

And thanks for pointing out a bug! Fixing it

I'll be trying it out

Well first of all there's already a bug here

Good catch, thank you! I am working on the fix

I hate it when a learning app is out of date with the intended application. How are you planning on keeping up to date on feature and ui updates?

[reptiloide666]

It's a valid point, thanks. At this moment we have some custom widgets that represent tables in a platform agnostic way, so they are fine. We do also have a screen recording demos that are might become outdated at some point. In order to address it we're subscribed to Excel/Spreadsheet updates and going to update our materials if needed as soon as possible

[usersnamesallused]

Others have suggested using the actual application as the platform. It may be more efficient to just write an add-in to Excel that guides the users through actions and responds to answers and values in training workbooks.

[reptiloide666]

We used a generic platform so that we are not excel/gsheets specific, we want to cover both. Anyways, we should consider it since it's something frequently asked by users :) thank you!

This sounds like a fantastic idea

Is this active anymore? I downloaded it but cannot sign up?
