Beta program
Help us build Stride — before everyone else.
We're running a small, honest pilot with a handful of learners, parents, teachers and lecturers across South Africa. You use Stride for real, you tell us what works and what doesn't, and that feedback shapes what we build. It's how we make sure this actually helps before we open it to everyone.
What you get
Four months of Stride, free.
We're not paying beta testers. Instead, once the beta wraps, every participant gets four months of full Stride at no cost — our thank-you for helping build it. That's the whole reward, said plainly so there's no confusion.
What we ask of you
Use it for real
A few sessions a week through the pilot — a couple of weeks, ideally a full term. Real use is the only thing that produces a real signal.
Tell us the truth
Answer the short in-app check-ins honestly, and say when something is confusing or wrong. The negative feedback is the most useful thing you can give us.
Let us learn from it
We watch how the learning goes and how you move around the app — so we can fix what trips people up before we grow.
The part we won't hide: we collect data
A beta only works if we measure it. We record how the learning goes (what you get right, what fades, whether the plan helps) and how you use the app itself — where you tap, where you get stuck, how you move around. It is never sold and never used for ads, children's data needs a parent's consent, and you can leave at any time. You'll confirm you're okay with this when you apply.
Who we're looking for
Learners (a parent signs up for under-18s) to use it day to day — and teachers and lecturers to judge whether the content and the gaps we find are actually right, and whether they'd trust it in a classroom.
