What’s the difference between these two app?

Hi. What’s the difference between the Hacktivate:capture the flag. And Hacktivate:education

Response from developer

The Educatjon Edition is an upfront purchase, for schools that cannot use in-app purchase. The regular edition has a free trial followed by a full-game unlock in-app purchase, which allows players to try the game fully first. Both have the same content.

Wow

This is exactly what has been needed for so long. Very well done.

Great way to keep up training

This app is a great way to dust off your cybersecurity learnings and have a little fun along the way

Suggestion

Its a good app, but ,, I'd like to add multilingual settings so that the interface supports other languages, including Chinese. This would make the app more popular worldwide.
