The Kortext mobile and desktop apps are evolving

Our latest Kortext mobile and desktop app update marks the first phase in a series of releases that will change the purpose of our apps from eReader and notetaking app, into a study buddy that’ll live in your pocket!  The app update going live on 8 September 2025 introduces minor enhancements that’ll pave the way for upcoming development, most notably in the look and user experience of the Kortext apps.

Our intuitive navigation panel

Our fresh new toolbar along the bottom of the screen has updated controls to support you in navigating around the app: 

  • The all-new Library button is where you’ll find your content. The library is organised into the Bookshelf, My files, Collections and the Kortext library, where you can search and read the various content available to you. 
  • The + button in the centre of the new toolbar provides a shortcut to upload documents to My files, where you can use the app to read, store and utilise our smart study features in your own work. 
  • The Profile button takes you to a menu where you can change and update account management options, sign out, redeem access codes, view remaining cloud storage and more! On the Kortext desktop apps, the same menu can be found by clicking your email address in the bottom left of the window.

This image shows our new profile menu, with options for remaining cloud storage, references, tutorial, redeem access code, account settings, Kortext support, about Kortext and sign out.

A fresh, streamlined design

Those with an eye for detail will notice our more subtle aesthetic updates, including the style of our book thumbnails with new softer-looking rounded edges, new colours and an updated download button that’s more aligned with the Kortext style. Inside the bookshelf, we’ve introduced a ‘continue reading’ function that shows your % progress through the book, so you can pick up exactly where you left off on your last study session. When exploring Collections and the Kortext library, you’ll now notice a new scroll bar at the top of the screen showing your recently viewed titles, saving time when revisiting previously accessed content.  That’s stage one complete, but there’s so much more to come…

Download the Kortext apps and see the changes for yourself!
