Choose your role

For students

Your tab is Learning

Join a class

Find your teacher's class and get on the roster.

  1. Open Learning and tap Explore.
  2. Filter by your level and subject, then open the class.
  3. Tap Join. Some classes let you in straight away; others send a request to the teacher.

Get your books and lessons

Free material opens right away. Paid material costs Slatify Coins — or a parent can buy it for you.

  1. In Learning, tap Explore and search or filter.
  2. Open anything that looks right to read what's inside.
  3. Tap Buy if it's paid. It appears in your library at once.

Read a book

Pages turn like a real book, and the app remembers where you stopped.

  1. Open the book and tap Start Reading, or pick a chapter from the contents.
  2. Swipe to turn pages. Pictures, video, sound, tables and maths all work inside.
  3. Come back later through Continue Learning on the Learning tab.

Take a quiz

See your score straight away and look back at old attempts any time.

  1. Tap a quiz chapter in a book, or a quiz card inside your class.
  2. Answer the questions and tap Submit.
  3. Your score shows on the chapter. Your class page points out the topics to revise.

Ask your teacher a question

Ask about any book you own, without leaving it.

  1. Scroll to Questions on the book's page.
  2. Type your question and send it.
  3. You get a notification when the teacher replies.

Post on Learning Pulse

The school feed — share what you're working on, ask the room, run a quick poll.

  1. Tap the write box at the top of Learning.
  2. Write your post, add photos, hashtags or a subject.
  3. Post it. Others can like, comment and vote.

Say yes to a parent

A parent can only link to you if you agree.

  1. When someone asks, a banner appears on your Call Center.
  2. Tap it to see who is asking and how they say they're related.
  3. Approve or reject. Nothing happens until you choose.

Your money

Slatify Coins pay for calls and books. Campus Fund pays at the canteen.

  1. Both balances sit at the top of Call Center.
  2. Tap a balance to see everything that went in and out.
  3. If a parent set a spending limit, you'll see it in your profile.

Whoever you are

These work the same for all four roles

Signing in

A username and a 4-digit PIN on a simple keypad. Students use their Slatify Number instead of a username.

  1. Forgotten your PIN? Tap Forgot PIN? on the sign-in screen for help.
  2. On a shared school terminal, sign in, do what you came for, then sign out.

Making a call

Three kinds: voice and video to other Slatify users, and Direct Call to any ordinary phone number.

  1. Open Contacts and tap the person.
  2. Choose Voice, Video or Direct Call.
  3. Check the rate and your balance on the confirmation screen, then call.

Getting a call

Calls ring you properly, even when the app is closed and the phone is locked.

  1. Answer or decline from the full-screen ringing screen.
  2. During a call you can mute, switch camera and turn on speaker.
  3. Contacts → Recent lists every call, its length and its cost.

Chatting

More than text: photos, files, voice notes, short video notes, GIFs and emoji reactions.

  1. Open Chats and pick a conversation, or start one from a contact.
  2. Tap + for photos, files, video notes or bold and italic text.
  3. Hold the microphone to record a voice note — release, listen back, then send or delete.
  4. Press and hold any message to react, reply to it, copy it or delete your own.

Topping up

Add money by mobile money. You'll see what your money converts to before you pay.

  1. Tap a balance card's top-up button on Call Center.
  2. Enter your mobile money number and the amount.
  3. Approve the prompt on your phone. The balance updates once it clears — usually within a minute.

Switching between roles

One login can be both a teacher and a vendor, or a parent and a vendor.

  1. Tap your photo in the top corner to open your profile.
  2. In Roles, tap Switch to… — the whole app changes colour and contents to match.
  3. Tap Add role to take on a new one.

The three balances

What each one is for, and how it gets filled.

Your phone or a tablet

The app rearranges itself for bigger screens — on a tablet, chats show the list and the conversation side by side.

Your language

Available in English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese and Korean. It follows whatever your phone is set to.

Still on the way

  • SoonA notification when your vendor shop is approved — for now, check the tab.
  • SoonEditing a submitted book after it's turned down.
  • SoonPaying at the till by tap — that lives on the till device for now.
