Kolibri Android App runs as a standalone (it does not require a browser) on phone and tablet mobile devices. Keep the following in mind:

  • When installed and set up in On my own modality, Kolibri will have the same coach and admin features as Kolibri installed on desktop and laptop devices.

  • When installed and set up as Learn-only device, Kolibri will only have the features for learners.

Compatibility#

Android version 8.0 and higher.

Storage requirements#

App only: approximately 200MB

Content:

  • Kolibri app will most probably occupy more storage when set up in the On my own modality that allows direct import of channels and resources from Kolibri Studio. Video resources will in general occupy much more storage space and take longer to import compared to exercises and resources in HTML format.

  • Kolibri app on a Learn-only device cannot import resources from Studio, but learners can browse and download single resources from libraries on other Kolibris in the local network.

Check the Settings > Storage on your Android device to see how much internal space you have available for download globally, and configure the maximum storage space you want to set aside for Kolibri resources.
