EdApp Is Shutting Down March 31, 2026: Migration Guide for 70,000+ Organizations

EdApp (SC Training) retires March 31, 2026. Export your data before April 20, 2026 or lose it permanently. Step-by-step migration plan, SCORM export checklist, and how to choose a replacement LMS.

On March 31, 2026, EdApp (rebranded to SC Training) is retiring. Over 1 million users and 70,000+ organizations that built their training programs on the platform have a hard deadline to move — and the window is narrower than most teams realize.

SafetyCulture, EdApp's parent company, has closed the in-house migration path to their other product, SC Training. That leaves export-and-rebuild as the only remaining option. After April 20, 2026, all account access is removed and data is permanently deleted.

If you run EdApp today, this article is the punch list: what's actually happening, what you need to export, and how to pick a replacement that fits the microlearning workflow your team is used to.

What's Happening With EdApp

EdApp was acquired by SafetyCulture in 2020 and rebranded to SC Training as the mobile LMS arm of SafetyCulture's broader workplace operations suite. In early 2026, SafetyCulture announced that the standalone EdApp product line is being sunset.

Key facts to know:

  • Shutdown date: March 31, 2026. After this, the platform is no longer supported.
  • Data export cutoff: April 20, 2026. After this, content, learner records, and analytics are permanently deleted.
  • Affects all tiers. Both the free and paid plans are being retired. There is no grandfathering.
  • In-product migration to SC Training is closed. The managed transfer window ended before the public announcement.
  • You own the export. SafetyCulture provides SCORM, xAPI, and CSV export tools — but the work of moving to a new platform is on you.

Timeline: What to Do This Week

The temptation is to wait until March. Don't. The export process is manual, the files are large, and every LMS vendor on the market is fielding migration requests right now.

Week 1 (this week):

  • Assign an owner. Migration always fails when it's everyone's responsibility and no one's job.
  • Audit your EdApp workspace: number of courses, lessons, quizzes, active learners, completion records to preserve.
  • Notify stakeholders. L&D leadership, IT, compliance — anyone whose reporting depends on EdApp data needs to know the deadline.

Week 2–3:

  • Shortlist 2–3 replacement LMS platforms. Run trials in parallel.
  • Export a pilot course. Test the SCORM file in each candidate platform before committing.
  • Decide whether you're lifting-and-shifting or rebuilding. Most teams mix: move the high-value courses, archive or retire the rest.

Week 4 onward:

  • Bulk-export all SCORM packages.
  • Download learner completion and progress CSVs. This is your audit trail — miss it and compliance reporting becomes a nightmare.
  • Import into the new platform, validate a sample of courses end-to-end, then cut over.

What You Need to Export From EdApp

Three categories, and all three matter for different reasons.

1. Course content

Export every course as a SCORM 1.2 or 2004 package. xAPI is also available and is the better choice if your new LMS supports it, since it preserves more detailed interaction data. SCORM is the universal fallback.

Watch-outs:

  • Branded theming doesn't transfer. Colors, fonts, logos need to be reapplied in the new LMS.
  • Native EdApp quiz formats (swipe cards, drag-and-drop, certain matching templates) may render as plain text when re-imported elsewhere, depending on the destination LMS. Spot-check every content type before you assume a course migrated cleanly.
  • Videos hosted by EdApp — if you uploaded MP4s directly to EdApp's CDN, re-download the originals. SCORM packages typically embed video references, not the files themselves.

2. Learner data

Download completion records, quiz scores, and progress reports as CSV. This is your compliance paper trail. For regulated industries — healthcare, financial services, construction, manufacturing — losing this history creates audit risk.

Export at minimum:

  • User list (email, name, team/group, role)
  • Course enrollments and completion dates
  • Assessment scores and attempt history
  • Certificate issue dates and expiry windows

3. Analytics and usage data

Any engagement reports, leaderboards, or custom dashboards you've built in EdApp aren't portable. Screenshot the dashboards you reference regularly. They won't come back, but you'll want the historical benchmarks when you set targets in the new platform.

How to Choose a Replacement

Moving from EdApp means you're looking for a platform that fits mobile-first microlearning. Here's what to screen candidates on, in order of priority:

Must-haves

  1. SCORM and xAPI import. Non-negotiable. If a platform can't ingest your exports, it's out.
  2. Mobile-native learning experience. EdApp's core appeal was bite-sized, phone-friendly lessons. Some traditional LMS platforms feel like a 2010 desktop-first product on mobile. Test on a phone during your trial.
  3. Assessment and quiz variety. If your EdApp courses lean on interactive assessments, make sure the new platform offers equivalents rather than forcing everything into multiple-choice.
  4. Completion tracking and reporting. You need to match or exceed your current compliance reporting — not downgrade it.
  5. Group and role management. Whatever team structure you have in EdApp needs to map cleanly into the new platform.

Nice-to-haves

  • AI course generation. Rebuilding 50+ courses by hand is a full quarter of L&D work. Platforms with AI assistants (text-to-course, quiz generation) can cut this by 70–80%.
  • Branching and adaptive paths. If you use EdApp's simpler linear flow, branching lets different learners take different paths based on role or answers.
  • Certificates and expirations. Critical for compliance training that renews annually.
  • Integrations. Zapier, SCIM, SSO — the plumbing you rely on.

Questions to ask every vendor

  • What's your SCORM import success rate for EdApp courses? — They should have numbers. Many vendors have seen EdApp exports by now.
  • Can you import my learner history, not just the courses? — Some platforms only take course packages, not progress data.
  • What's the cost per active user, and what counts as active? — Pricing models vary wildly; get apples-to-apples.
  • Can I pilot with a single team before rolling everyone over? — Phased rollouts catch problems before they become disasters.

The Risk of Waiting

Three things break for teams that delay past mid-February 2026:

  1. Vendor capacity. Every LMS sales team is triaging EdApp migrations. The white-glove onboarding that's free in April gets backlogged by March.
  2. Export throttling. SafetyCulture hasn't announced rate limits on exports, but 1 million users on one month is a lot. Don't find out the hard way.
  3. Compliance gaps. If your audit cycle falls in April and your data evaporated on the 20th, that's a findable deficiency — not just an inconvenience.

Migration projects that ship cleanly typically allocate 6–10 weeks end-to-end. Working backward from March 31, that means starting now.

Konstantly as an EdApp Alternative

We built Konstantly for teams that want the microlearning speed of EdApp with more flexibility in course structure, AI-powered content creation, and deeper analytics.

What EdApp teams typically value when they migrate to Konstantly:

  • SCORM and xAPI import — drop in your exports, learners see familiar content.
  • AI Course Assistant — describe a topic, get a course draft. Useful for rebuilding the 20% of courses you were going to retire anyway but now need in the new platform.
  • Visual branching course builder — split the learner's path based on role, answers, or click-through choices (not just linear playlists).
  • Mobile-first player — the thing that made EdApp feel modern is table stakes for us.
  • Free migration support through the April 2026 deadline — we'll help map your export to our platform so you're not debugging SCORM packages at 11pm.

If you want to see whether Konstantly fits, the fastest path is a trial: start a free account, upload one of your EdApp SCORM exports, and see it running inside 10 minutes.

FAQ

Is EdApp really shutting down completely, or just rebranding to SC Training?

Both. EdApp as a standalone product is being fully retired. SC Training continues as a separate SafetyCulture product, but it's positioned as part of their workplace operations suite, not a direct replacement. The in-product migration from EdApp to SC Training has already closed, so even current users can't move accounts automatically — everyone has to export and rebuild.

What happens to free-tier EdApp users?

Same as paid: full shutdown on March 31, 2026, data deletion after April 20, 2026. Free users often assume they're safe to wait. They aren't.

Can I still buy an EdApp subscription in 2026?

No. New signups have been closed, and existing subscriptions are running out their term without renewal options.

Will my SCORM exports work in any LMS?

Most modern LMS platforms accept SCORM 1.2 and 2004 packages. Quality of import varies — some platforms preserve interactivity perfectly, others strip it to basic pages. Always test a sample before committing.

How much does it cost to migrate to a new LMS?

Most LMS pricing ranges $3–15 per user per month, depending on feature depth. The bigger hidden cost is time: expect 40–120 hours of L&D work to move 50+ courses cleanly, depending on how much content you rebuild vs lift-and-shift.

Do we need to rebuild courses from scratch?

Not for most content. SCORM packages carry your lessons, quizzes, and media. You'll need to rebuild: branded theming, custom dashboards, EdApp-specific gamification elements, and anything that used proprietary templates.

The Bottom Line

EdApp's shutdown forces the decision you were probably going to face in the next 2–3 years anyway: pick the LMS that fits your team's current needs rather than the one you inherited. The deadline is tight but the silver lining is that most teams end up with better tooling than they started with.

Start the audit this week. Shortlist platforms next week. Export early. The teams that move first get the vendor attention, the calm migration timelines, and the clean data cutover.
