Just signed up, really looking forward to sharpening my financial modeling skills, even after graduating and moving into a field where I don’t do that sort of thing anymore.

Any plans to create a native mobile application? I couldn’t seem to find one on the App Store.

That's an excellent query! Many have asked for a mobile app. Right now, we're improving the desktop version as Excel works best on it. Making Excel easy to use on a mobile app isn't easy. Our plan is to first make a mobile app centered around finance quizzes and concepts. Then, we'll aim to provide a complete Excel experience for financial modeling on mobile.
The mobile spreadsheet problem is definitely a hurdle, I think finance quizzes would be great to have on the go as a supplemental education piece.

Breaking down the formulas that work in certain situations or how certain modeling strategies are implemented conceptually could also lend well to a mobile platform without also requiring a “mobile spreadsheet” approach, which in all honesty sounds like a nightmare development process.

Either way, love the platform and wishing you all the best!

great suggestions, thanks!
