This document proposes an app called School Advisor that aims to make revision easier and more enjoyable for students. The app would allow users to create revision questions by inputting their own revision material. It could also track users' progress over time. The app seeks to be more flexible than other revision apps by allowing users to input any topics rather than being limited to set curricula. It would have both free and paid versions, with the paid version offering additional features like mind maps. The target audience includes students, adults learning new topics, and anyone who wants to revise outside of standard guides. The developers believe the app could be successful due to the growing demand for technology-based learning tools.

1. S.A.
School Advisor -
Easy and Friendly
Revision App

2. Do you struggle with revision, or find
very tedious?

3. SA is a user-friendly app aimed at students
who struggle or cannot be motivated to
revise.
Its core function is to create revision question
from user inputted revision material.
It could be expanded to cover different
methods or revising, such as mind maps or
audio recordings.
It would also track user’s progression with
achievements and a timeline of their
completed revision throughout the school
year (for unit tests) and during revision time.

4. We are developing an app that is
suitable for anyone to revise with. It is
aimed primarily at students who find
it hard to revise, but is equally
applicable for anyone else. It aims to
make revision more enjoyable and
efficient with users being able to make
test questions for themselves by
simply typing their revision as they go
along.

5. People who would use the app:
Students revising for exams.
Adults trying to learn new languages or
other topics.
Anyone who wants to revise from
anything other than a pre-set revision
guide.
Young children who need to have extra
aid in their basic education in a more
enjoyable way.

6. Competitors
There are not masses of revision apps available but almost
all that do exist are based on a unadaptable revision
courses from publishers. This means that you cannot revise
anything that is not on the curriculum or in your own way.
In our app, we aim to allow the user to input their own
content which means that the possibilities of topics is
limitless. Although eventually we could include curriculum
revision guides to further support the users.

7. MVP User
The ideal user will be someone who wants to revise in a
portable, simple, fun and effective way. They would take
advantage of having all of their revision in one place and
the opportunity of being able to revise anywhere at any
time. Many of the people like this would have previously
struggled with revision; such as a lack of time, finding it
tedious, using resources or lack of portability. We hope to
address all of these problems to make it easier for the
average person who does not revise, to revise.

8. Feasibility
The foundation of the app is very feasible as many
technology based revision and learning sources have been
very successful. This is because many young people
searching for a modern and technological way of revising.
Also, our app has unique features mentioned previously,
such as infinite revision possibilities. This means that iit will
stand out as an app that has a large target audience even
though focused at students. Finally, we would integrate the
feature of sharing revision which would allow even people
who find it more challenging to share their revision to help
others. The combination of these three strengths is why we
believe our app will be successful.

9. Business case
We would have a free and paid version of the app. The free
would have the core-functions of a test maker, whereas the
paid version would include: mind map making, audio and
video creation and published curriculum revision guide
viewing. The published revision guides would most likely be
bought as several add-ons to prevent the app’s price from
being unnecessarily high. We would also target schools to
by the app in bulk, for students to use as a resource like
services such as MyMaths and Pearson interactive
resources. We would consider expanding the app for
schools by adding features to help the students and
teachers interact within the app, allowing it to possibly
cover all aspects of school like a school planner. The base
price of the paid version would be around £1-2 to allow
students and schools to buy it at a reasonable price.

10. Marketing strategy.
One of our initial ideas of a marketing strategy to allow it to
appeal for a large range of ages, is the different design
options. We would allow young children to have a very
colourful app design to encourage them to use the app and
find it enjoyable and engaging. A more refined design yet
still vibrant design would be used for secondary school
students, and finally a more subtle design for adults and
university students. To gain advertising for the suitable
audience, we would aim to provide advertisement for
publishers’ academic books and ask for their
recommendation of our app. Overall, the theme of our app
would be very vibrant to portray the enjoy ability of the
app, whilst still looking professional enough for higher
academic users to use.
