Trial features for iOS version of NLB Mobile App

As part of NLB’s ongoing efforts to enhance the LAB25 Learning Marketplace, we're introducing three new features to the iOS version of the NLB Mobile app. These features will be available for a six-month trial period, beginning 12 Jan 2025.

The launch of these new features on the iOS platform is part of a 6-month pilot programme. During this pilot phase, the features will not be available on other platforms supported by NLB. Your feedback will help us shape these features, so keep an eye out for a quick survey in the coming months.
