Functionality Comparison: The Degreed Web App and the Degreed Mobile App
What are the Degreed Web App and the Degreed Mobile App?
The Degreed Web App
The Degreed Web App is the Degreed experience using a browser, whether that's on a desktop or a mobile device. When using a browser on a desktop or laptop, all available features and functionality of the Degreed learning experience are available to you.
The Degreed Web App is fully mobile-responsive. When using a browser on your smartphone or other mobile device, nearly all Degreed's features and functions are available to you. Very few features (such as user-generated videos) are not available on mobile browsers due to space limitations.
The Degreed Mobile App
The Degreed Mobile App is an app you download and install using the Apple Store or the Google Play Store. It has a slightly different interface than the Degreed Web App, and is optimized for mobile devices. When you open the Degreed Mobile App, you have a similar experience to the full-fledged Degreed Web App, as the Degreed Mobile App offers a select subset of the Degreed Web App's features and functionality.
