Build Custom Education Apps for Any Learning Program

Adalo is the no-code app builder that pairs AI-powered generation with a visual multi-screen canvas, so entrepreneurs and business teams can design, build, and publish custom database-driven apps to the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and web from a single project — no code, no developers required.

Yes. Tell Ada, Adalo's AI builder, what your education app needs and Magic Start generates a complete app with course screens, student database, and navigation. Then visually customize everything on the canvas by pointing at elements and directing changes. Educators routinely build and publish complete learning apps to the App Store and Google Play without writing code.

Adalo's built-in relational database lets you create completion records that link students to lessons. When a student finishes a lesson or takes a quiz, the app creates a record tracking their score and completion status. You can then build progress dashboards that aggregate this data—showing completion percentages, average quiz scores, and time-on-task for individual students or the entire class.

Yes. Build multiple-choice, true/false, and selection-based quizzes directly inside your Adalo app. Quiz questions and answers are stored in the relational database, and you can auto-grade by comparing student responses to stored correct answers. For more complex assessment types like essay questions, you can build submission screens that instructors review manually.

Yes. Embed videos from YouTube or Vimeo directly into your lesson screens using Adalo's WebView component. You can also include audio files, PDF documents, and images alongside your video content. Since Adalo builds native apps, video playback works smoothly on both iOS and Android devices.

Yes. Build a certificate screen that generates automatically when a student's completion records show 100% of lessons finished. Store the certificate record in the database with the student's name, course title, completion date, and a unique ID. Students can view their certificates from any device. For printable certificates, you can connect to a PDF generation service via Zapier.

Adalo's native apps cache previously viewed content, so students can review lessons they've already loaded in areas with poor connectivity. Full offline mode with download-and-sync is on the product roadmap. For students in low-connectivity environments, the native app experience is more reliable than web-based course platforms accessed through a mobile browser.

Adalo excels at building custom education apps with your own course structure and student experience, but it's not a drop-in replacement for full-featured LMS platforms. Features like SCORM compliance, built-in payment processing, live video classrooms, automated drip content scheduling, and complex cohort-based access controls require platforms like Teachable, Thinkific, or a custom-built solution. Adalo also doesn't include a built-in video hosting service—you'd embed videos from YouTube or Vimeo. For educators who need a branded native app with a learning experience tailored to their specific pedagogy at a fraction of enterprise LMS pricing, Adalo is the practical choice.
