Reasons behind the discontinuation of management functions

1. To speed up the improvement of user experience in mobile apps used on sites or in stores where manual viewers play a central role

"To improve the user experience of manual viewers working on sites and in stores" is a top priority for mobile apps, and we will be gradually updating mobile apps until the summer of 2022.
As the first step of this long-term project aiming to improve user experience, we already released a renewed version of mobile app with the newly established home screen on June 21, 2021.

The various management functions to be discontinued this time do not contribute to the above-mentioned task, and their usage rate from mobile apps is also low.
Therefore, in order to focus more on the functions development and improvement for manual viewers, we have decided to discontinue providing management functions in mobile apps.

2. To further strengthen management functions

We have received many requests, especially from customers who have a large number of registered users, to improve the functionality and usability of user management functions.
By consolidating various management functions, including user management functions, into a Web browser version of Teachme Biz, we will further speed up function enhancement and quality improvement.

Anything to prepare in advance?

All functions removed from mobile apps remain available in the Web Browser version.
