Wanneer je Smart-e-learning (van Smart Educational Tools) gebruikt op je laptop, dan kun je hiervoor ook deze app gebruiken. Via de app heb je precies dezelfde toegang tot de lesstof en hetzelfde inzicht in je persoonlijke resultaten als in de desktopversie van Smart-e-learning. De app heeft als handige extra feature de Memotrainer. Je kunt het de Memotrainer zo instellen dat je kennis, door herhalingsoefeningen, op een gepersonaliseerde manier traint, waardoor je nog meer onthoudt en sneller slaagt voor je examen. Je kiest je eigen herhalingsschema naar de toets of het examen toe (elke dag 1 vraag bijvoorbeeld). Herhaling is volgens onderzoek de oplossing voor langer onthouden en minder vergeten.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: GPAL at monthly against Smart's every 3 months. Smart's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
