Why my email is not recognized when logging into Learnerbly?
If your company uses SSO (Single Sign On) for you to log into Learnerbly, and you are getting an error, it might be because the email we have registered in our system does not match the one registered with your SSO provider.
Have you checked that your email address is correct and you are still getting an error trying to log in to your Learnerbly account? If so, check out this article on how you check if your log-in email and SSO are matched 😉

I see a cheaper price on the provider's website. Can Learnerbly get my request at that price?
We try our best to reflect our providers prices as accurately as possible, however, providers update their prices from time-to-time so what's shown on Learnerbly may not reflect the latest price. Providers may also offer promotions or sales to individuals which cannot be reflected on Learnerbly especially if the provider is in partnership with us.

You will be receiving an email directly from Learnerbly with a link for your voucher code to activate your subscription or you can locate it in the "request" section within the Learnerbly app.

My request got cancelled, how come?
You will always receive a cancellation email with an explanation of why your request got canceled. Please check your inbox and junk/spam folders if you haven't seen the email. However, the main reasons requests get canceled are:
There was a price change at the moment of purchasing this for you, we sent an email, and we didn't hear back from you after 5 working days
Your request is out of stock, and we couldn't find a suitable replacement
The request is a subscription/membership, and it's only available on recurring payments. Our payment system does not support recurring payments. There is no option to purchase just one-off subscriptions, or they don't offer gifts
The payment details are shared between the provider and the user
The resource you tried to request is supplied by a provider that has proven to be not reliable and does not fully comply with our Content Policy
We are unable to purchase hardware (such as electronic devices, musical instruments, etc) of any kind.
If its an Amazon books, the book do not meet the criteria for purchase.
What languages do you support?
At the present time, Learnerbly only operates in English. Therefore, to ensure consistency across countries, resources must be available in English.
Some of our providers offer alternative languages or subtitle options. Some examples of these are:
Blinkist
Perlego
Domestika
MasterClass
Note: We highly recommend checking the provider's page for the specific resource you are inquiring about, particularly for Domestika, as the majority of their audio is in Spanish. Please review this information before finalizing your request, as some resources may not have English subtitles or audio.

Why I can't see the ''request'' button?
If you cannot see the "Request" button, it could be due to the following reasons:
That particular resource is not available in your region.
You got to the resource page through a Playlist
Via a bookmark (either your or external)
External link from someone else outside the region/organization
The resource is restricted to your organization.
The resource is deactivated
At the moment, it is not possible to acquire resources between regions.
Additionally, if you used to see the "Request" button before but now it's not available, it means that the resource got deactivated from our app and the provider of that particular resource does not offer reliable and fast delivery to your region and does not align with our Content Policy.
Additionally, for Amazon books, if you don't see the request button but your colleagues do, it means that the particular book is currently available in their Amazon region but not in yours.
Can I change my login for my personal email?
Contractually it is not possible.
Your access to Learnerbly is via your company and their agreement with us therefore we are only able to send resources to workplace email addresses.
