EdApp Shut Down: Migration Guide and Replacement Checklist

Update: EdApp's shutdown deadline (March 31, 2026) and the data-export cutoff (April 20, 2026) have both now passed. If you already lost access to your account, the export options below are no longer available to you directly — contact SafetyCulture support to ask about any remaining recovery options. If you exported your data in time and are now picking a replacement, or if you're reading this because another vendor is winding down and you want to be ready next time, the rest of this guide still applies.

EdApp (rebranded to SC Training) retired its standalone product line. Organizations that built their training programs on the platform had to move — and for many, the window was narrower than expected.

SafetyCulture, EdApp's parent company, closed the in-house migration path to their other product, SC Training. That left export-and-rebuild as the only option. After the export cutoff, account access was removed and unexported data was permanently deleted.

This article is the punch list: what happened, what you needed 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. The platform is no longer supported.
Data export cutoff: April 20, 2026. After this date, content, learner records, and analytics were permanently deleted for any account that hadn't exported.
Affected all tiers. Both the free and paid plans were retired. There was no grandfathering.
In-product migration to SC Training was closed. The managed transfer window ended before the public announcement.
Export was on you. SafetyCulture provided SCORM, xAPI, and CSV export tools — but the work of moving to a new platform was left to each team.

If You're Still Migrating

If you exported your data before the cutoff and are now mid-migration, the checklist below still applies — work through it in whatever order fits your timeline.

Assign an owner. Migration always fails when it's everyone's responsibility and no one's job.
Audit what you exported: number of courses, lessons, quizzes, active learners, completion records.
Notify stakeholders. L&D leadership, IT, compliance — anyone whose reporting depends on that data needs to know where things stand.
Shortlist 2–3 replacement LMS platforms. Run trials in parallel.
Test a pilot course. Import the SCORM file into 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.
Import into the new platform, validate a sample of courses end-to-end, then cut over.
Confirm you have learner completion and progress records saved — this is your audit trail for compliance reporting.

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

Requirement	Why it matters
SCORM and xAPI import	Non-negotiable. If a platform can't ingest your exports, it's out.
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.
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.
Completion tracking and reporting	You need to match or exceed your current compliance reporting — not downgrade it.
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 Cost of Missing the Cutoff

Teams that delayed past the export cutoff ran into a few consistent problems:

Vendor capacity. LMS sales teams spent months triaging EdApp migrations, and white-glove onboarding got backlogged the closer teams got to the deadline.
Lost data. Anything not exported before April 20, 2026 is gone. If that's your situation, your only path forward is contacting SafetyCulture directly to ask whether any recovery option still exists.
Compliance gaps. Teams whose audit cycle depended on EdApp completion history and hadn't exported it now have a real gap to explain to auditors.

Migration projects that ship cleanly typically allocate 6–10 weeks end-to-end — worth keeping in mind if you're planning ahead for the next vendor sunset you see coming.

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.
Migration support for teams moving off EdApp — 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. Want the full feature-by-feature breakdown first? See our Konstantly vs SC Training (EdApp) comparison.

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, with data deletion for anything not exported by April 20, 2026. Free users often assumed they were safe to wait. They weren'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 forced the decision many teams were probably going to face in the next 2–3 years anyway: pick the LMS that fits your current needs rather than the one you inherited. The silver lining is that most teams end up with better tooling than they started with.

If you're still mid-migration, don't wait to shortlist and validate — the teams that moved fastest got the most vendor attention, the calmest timelines, and the cleanest data cutover.
