Nobody picks topics or builds playlists. The app decides what your child does each day, and you read what happened.
The first day in each subject is a check. It starts mid-topic, moves up after a right answer and down after a wrong one, and skips what your child already knows.
A wrong answer is a clue, not a mark. The next question is easier, the skill underneath gets checked, and worked steps or a short lesson are one tap away.
Each school night a short email names the exact skill, at a time you pick. On Sunday, or the day you choose, the week arrives, with a note for the tutor you can pass on as it is. See a sample of both emails.
Three questions from Learnest's own bank, for Years 1, 4 and 6. Pick an answer, then open the worked answer.
Try a wrong answer too: you see the mistake that usually leads to it. Nothing you pick is saved or sent.
Year 1 maths: half past
Which digital time says half past 11?
Answer: D, 11:30
Half past means 30 minutes after the hour, so half past 11 is written 11:30.
Year 4 English: what a pronoun refers to
The dog chased the ball across the park. When Noah threw it again, the dog ran after it. What does 'it' refer to?
Answer: A, the ball
The pronoun it points to the thing being thrown and chased, the ball.
Year 6 science: a fair test
Ravi wants to test if the amount of water changes how tall bean plants grow. Which plan is fair?
Answer: A, 50, 100 and 150 mL a day, with the same soil, pot and light
A fair plan changes only the amount of water and keeps soil, pot and light the same for every plant.
Overnight Learnest goes over the day. It marks new gaps and moves each review to the day it is due. The next day opens with a lesson on the weakest skill: the exact question your child got wrong, what they wrote and why, then eight questions from easy to hard.
A good lesson score proves little, so it does not count. A skill is called fixed when it comes back in normal sessions and your child gets it right on their own three times running, across at least two days. You read the verdict in plain words: Proven, Improving, Not yet or Slipped back.
Finishing the day earns 20 points, right answers up to 20 more, and a full school week adds 75. A point is worth ten cents, or the rate you set. You choose the prizes and approve every one, and nothing is ever for sale.
The daily session has an end. There are no ads, loot boxes or leaderboards, and no child is ever compared with another. Your children's records sit in a file of their own.
Use any of these today, with no account and no card.

So the plan carries on without a gap if you keep it. Stripe takes your card on its own page and Learnest never sees it. The trial runs 14 days, and Stripe emails you a reminder 7 days before it ends.
Open Billing in your parent pages and choose Cancel free trial. One optional question asks what made you cancel: tap an answer or Skip and cancel, then confirm on Stripe's page. Cancel before day 14 and you pay nothing, and your children keep learning until the trial ends. There is no phone call or email to send.
Email hello@learnest.com.au within 14 days of the first charge and ask for a refund. We refund that charge in full and end your plan. You do not need to give a reason. The details are in section 4 of the Terms of Use.
Your plan follows the children you have: A$5 a month for each child after the first. Nothing is charged during the trial, so the first charge on day 14 counts the children you have then.
Let them try it first, on the device you have: seven questions on the real screens, with no sign-up. Let your child try it. In the app, the points they earn turn into real pocket money you approve, and you can make sessions about 10 minutes in Settings. If it does not suit your child, cancel online before day 14 and you pay nothing.
Not to plan or mark the work: the app does both. In Kindergarten to Year 2, a grown-up can sit in for questions read out loud, and tap whether your child read them right. With that turned off in Settings, those questions are skipped. A child still learning to read may want you close by.

Yes. The daily work follows the NSW syllabus that NAPLAN tests in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. Each day's stretch question practises the problem solving and thinking skills of the Opportunity Class test in Year 4, the selective high school test in Year 6 and the Australian Mathematics Competition. From your parent page you can set a timed practice paper in the style of each test. Each test has a page with sample questions: NAPLAN, the OC test, the selective test, thinking skills and the AMC. Every question is our own. Learnest is not affiliated with ACARA, NESA, the NSW Department of Education or the Australian Maths Trust.
Up to twenty minutes: twelve in Kindergarten, fifteen in Years 1 and 2. Each session starts with reviews timed for just before your child would forget, then a new skill while any are left at their stage, mixed practice and one stretch question. The week's subjects shift toward the one that needs it. In Settings you can make a child's sessions shorter, about 10 minutes, or longer, about 30.
An email each school night naming the skill that slipped, at 9:30 pm or a time you pick, and a weekly email with the week and a note for the tutor, on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Each parent chooses which of these they get. Your dashboard shows each child's day, their gaps and whether a fix has held. See a sample of both emails.
