How a lesson works

One to three minutes, with the phone in your hands.

  1. 1

    See the problem, exaggerated

    The room tips over, so you can’t miss it.

  2. 2

    See the fix on the same view

    The same room, straight, so the difference is obvious.

  3. 3

    Try it, one move at a time

    Tilt until it clicks. The lines turn green.

  4. 4

    Do it with your camera

    Take the shot. The practice camera checks it.

Your photos stay on your phone

Practice photos never leave it, and nor does the photo card someone fills in. If you join a team, it sees your first name, which lessons you've finished and whether you passed the final practical. Leave any time in Me, and what that team saw is deleted.

No account, no ads

Open the app and start. There's nothing to sign up for, no ads, and we don't sell or share data. The app counts anonymous things like lessons finished, with no identifier, and you can switch that off in Me.

Start with the first lesson.

It takes a minute.
