Imprint Review: Can It Replace Your Favorite Learning Apps?
While browsing the App Store for my next app to try, I came across Imprint, ranking high in the Education category.
Curious, I checked it out and found that it covers topics like psychology, philosophy, history, and more—but in bite-sized, visual lessons.
That instantly reminded me of book summary apps like Blinkist, which also offers quick, digestible content in a similar format called Shorts.
But Imprint had great reviews, so I decided to give it a shot.
After using it for a while, here’s my honest Imprint review—so you can decide if it’s worth your time.
And a quick tip: When you first open the app, it asks you a few questions. Your answers help shape your recommendations, so choose wisely.
What I Loved and What Fell Short
What I Loved
- Visually engaging lessons
- Covers a wide range of topics
- Clean and user-friendly design
What Fell Short
- No cross-device syncing
The moment you open Imprint, its sleek and user-friendly design immediately stands out.
Everything feels well-organized, with four main tabs—Home, Courses, Library, and Saved.
These tabs are what make Imprint so easy to navigate.
Let’s take a closer look at what each one offers.
1. Home
When you open the app, you land on the Home page, and the first thing that catches your eye is the Streak Tracker.

It keeps track of how many days in a row you’ve been learning—great for staying consistent.
Right below that, you’ll find a section with a card-based design featuring the course you’re currently working on.

For me, it’s Improve Your Mental Health, and I’ve completed about 72% so far.
Hopefully, I’ll wrap it up in a few minutes.
Next, there’s a section that takes you to all available courses (I’ll dive into that in a bit).

And then comes one of my favorite features: Daily 2-Minute Read.

This section gives you quick, visual insights from different topics every day.
Today, mine was from The Huberman Lab Podcast, explaining the science behind Andrew Huberman’s Morning Routine.
Now, let’s move on to the Courses tab.
2. Courses
This is where all the courses live.
Imprint curates them from best-selling books and popular podcasts, making it easy to learn from top experts without reading full books or listening to long episodes.
When you open the Courses tab, you’ll see a few categories at the top.

Scroll down, and you’ll find courses grouped into sections like Leadership, Philosophy, Finance, Business, and more.

There’s also a Search bar where you can look up specific topics, categories, or even authors.

i) How Courses Work
Let’s say you want to work on your mental health.
Just go to the Mental Health & Wellness category and select Improve Your Mental Health.

Once you tap on the course, a popup appears—hit Start, and you’re in.

The course follows a tap-through format:
- Tap right to move forward.
- Tap left to go back.
At the bottom, you’ll see three options:

- Report an issue: If you spot a typo, an error, or have a question, this is where you can let them know.
- Share: Found something interesting? You can share it with friends.
- Save as a card: This lets you bookmark key insights. (I’ll explain this more in the Saved tab section.)
Each course is divided into 10 Units, and within those, you’ll find multiple lessons.
For example, the Improve Your Mental Health course has 52 lessons in total.
ii) Earning XP & Badges
Every time you finish a lesson, you earn XP points, which add up as you progress.
After completing my first lesson, I got 50 XP.

And by the end of the course, I had racked up 6,960 XP and earned 10 badges.

To give you a better idea of what these lessons look like, here are some screenshots:

Now, let’s move on to the Library tab.
3. Library
The Library tab is where all your content is organized.
You’ll find three sections here:
- All – This tab lists everything in one place.
- To Read – If you started a course but haven’t finished it yet, it’ll show up here.
- Complete – As the name suggests, this is where all your finished courses go.

Now, let’s check out the Saved tab.
4. Saved
Ever come across a page in a lesson that you find really helpful?
Imprint lets you save it for later.
Just tap the heart button at the bottom of any lesson page, and it’ll be stored as a card in the Saved tab.

You can even sort your saved cards by title or date, making it easy to find what you need.
My Issues with Imprint
So far, Imprint has left a great impression on me.
But there’s one issue I ran into that I think is worth mentioning.
The app doesn’t sync across devices.
For example, I’ve been using Imprint on my iPhone for the past few days.
But last night, I had some free time and wanted to continue my course.
Since I usually use my iPad at night, I downloaded the app there, expecting to pick up where I left off.
Unfortunately, because there’s no syncing, I had to manually search for the course and find my spot again.
It wasn’t a huge hassle, but it would’ve been nice if my progress carried over.
Now, I know most people will probably stick to one device, so this might not be a big deal for everyone.
But if you switch between devices, keep this in mind.
Other than that, I haven’t faced any issues, and I’m really enjoying Imprint so far.
My Final Take on Imprint
After spending time with Imprint, I can confidently say it’s a well-designed, engaging, and effective learning app.
The combination of bite-sized lessons, visual storytelling, and structured courses makes learning feel effortless.
I love how it covers a variety of topics—from psychology and philosophy to business and history—all in a format that’s easy to absorb.
Plus, the streak tracker and XP system add a nice touch of motivation.
The only downside? No cross-device syncing.
So, if you enjoy the visual approach, Imprint might just be what you’re looking for.
