Why can’t I find the Learning Potential app in the App Store or Google Play?
As of 1 July 2021, we will be streamlining the Learning Potential services on the dedicated website at www.learningpotential.gov.au. This means we’ll be decommissioning the Learning Potential app at the same time. While it won’t be available to download from the App Store or Google Play, anyone who has already downloaded it will still be able to access articles that have been published. Keep using Learning Potential at www.learningpotential.gov.au.
