Learn a skill. Prepare for an exam. Get better at your craft. Courses on any subject. You would be amazed what you could learn in six months with just ten minutes a day. OmniTaught teaches the way memory actually works. A lesson runs about six minutes. A quiz follows while the material is still fresh. Then review comes back on a schedule built around the point where you were about to forget, so the work you already did keeps paying off instead of draining away. WHAT IS INSIDE A growing library of courses, including exam preparation for the NCLEX, the NCE, the EMT exam, real estate licensing, and the Praxis, alongside clinical skills, medical terminology, neuropsychology, psychopharmacology, crisis response, and personal finance, plus health and wellness courses on longevity, yoga, meditation, and metabolic psychiatry. THE TOPIC GENIE If the library does not have what you want, name any subject and the Genie builds a real course on it: lessons, quizzes, and review, in the same shape as everything else. Courses other learners have wished for are shared in the Wish Library, so you can pick up a course somebody else asked for. A WORD YOU DO NOT KNOW Double-tap any word in a lesson and its definition appears right there. Keep it, and it joins your review deck alongside everything else you are learning. HOW IT FITS INTO A DAY Ten minutes is a real session. Everything works offline once a course is downloaded, so a commute or a waiting room is study time. Your progress syncs across every device you sign in on, and finished lessons, best scores, and review timing are merged rather than overwritten, so nothing you have earned gets lost when you switch devices. WHO MADE IT OmniTaught is built by Michael C. Shedrick, M.S., PLPC, NCC, a teacher who became a National Certified Counselor. Your first week is free. After that, OmniTaught is a monthly or yearly subscription charged to your Apple ID. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends, in your iPhone's Settings under Subscriptions.
