Traverse

Traverse helps learners take better notes, understand complex concepts, and retain knowledge long-term. Its unique combination of mind mapping, spaced repetition, and interconnected notes enables deep, meaningful learning for users across the globe.

Global EdTech platform Traverse completely transformed its learning experience by partnering with Twinr, resulting in a 30% increase in daily active users, a 25% reduction in churn, and significantly higher retention through personalized study reminders, all within the first months of launch.

As more learners embraced mobile-first studying, Traverse realized its web-only platform wasn’t delivering the fast, focused experience students expected. Drop-offs were rising, trial users weren’t sticking around, and competitors with mobile apps were gaining an edge. The missing piece? A dedicated mobile app.

The Roadblock

While Traverse had built a loyal base of learners, its web-only model created friction for mobile users and limited engagement.

“We wanted to make reviewing notes as seamless as taking them — without starting from scratch on development.” – Traverse Team

• No mobile app- Students couldn’t easily study on the go
• Drop-off in learning consistency- Users forgot to revisit notes regularly
• Limited engagement- No push notifications to prompt study sessions
• High churn rate- Many trial users left due to lack of mobile convenience
• Missed growth opportunities- Competitors with apps offered better retention tools

The Solution: A High-Performance Native App With Twinr

Instead of investing months and major resources into custom development, Traverse turned to Twinr, a no-code platform that makes it easy to transform existing websites into fully branded native mobile apps, quickly and affordably.

All of this was achieved with full design control, effortless syncing with their existing platform, and minimal maintenance.

• Deliver seamless mobile access to notes, mind maps, and spaced repetition prompts
• Send personalized push notifications for timely study reminders
• Enable offline learning mode so students could review without internet access
• Reduce distractions with a focused, mobile-friendly experience
• Lower churn and increase engagement by making studying easier and more consistent

Real Mobile Impact

Before the app, Traverse’s platform was limited to web use, making it harder for learners to study consistently on the go. After the app launch, everything changed:

As Traverse founder Dominic Zijlstra put it:

“Creating our learning app with Twinr was transformative. Its user-friendly platform and robust features seamlessly delivered our vision.”

• Daily active users rose by 30% thanks to instant mobile access
• Churn dropped by 25% as more learners stayed engaged long term
• Retention improved through personalized push notification study prompts
• Learners spent more time engaging with notes, mind maps, and repetition exercises

The Takeaway: High Impact, Low Effort

Traverse’s journey proves that EdTech platforms don’t need heavy development cycles or massive budgets to deliver high-impact mobile learning. By choosing Twinr, they launched fast, reduced churn, and saw immediate learner engagement.

“Twinr transformed our vision into reality. Learners love the seamless experience, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.”

Their new app didn’t just improve convenience, it boosted consistency, strengthened retention, and gave students a distraction-free environment to thrive.

If your learning platform is already delivering value on the web, you’re closer than you think to launching your own branded mobile app.
