Articulate Mobile Player (AMP) End Support?
Hi,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day, I am just here to voice a major concern about the coming end of life of the AMP.
I am a multimedia developer for an E-learning firm based in Cana...
Greetings Helena and Eric:
I have eLearning courses built with Storyline and they're offered for offline use via the Articulate Mobile player. My customers enjoy that flexibility. So I'm concerned about continuing that service. I tried the "My File Manager" app and it works to download videos, but the questions embedded in each course are missing. There's no practical similarity or course structure here other than videos, which doesn't suit my needs, unfortunately.
Fortunately, I do have a LMS using LearnDash that also hosts my Storyline-created courses as .zip files. It turns out that there might be two opportunities (that I've found so far) that might allow me to create an App for my courses that allows downloading via my LMS. I'm checking into this now. Here are the two links you might want to check out.
1. Use an app builder platform (https://apppresser.com/).
2. Get an app custom-developed (https://appboss.com/learndash-mobile-app-case-study-for-editsu/).
The folks at BuddyBoss have just redesigned a mobile app that might have downloadable features. I'm waiting to hear from them. Ultimately, I might have to hire someone to design an App to offer my courses offline.
And please let me know if you find any additional information regarding downloads.
Sincerely,

Thank you for this Rod. I will look into the links you have provided.
Did you link to a zipped version of the web published content when using my file manager? My modules work perfectly, its just that they would have access to all the other folders. You also need to launch with the story.html file.
I am really interested to see what Buddyboss have to say and I wondered whether there may be enough people interested in working together to hire somebody to create an alternative to amp?
I will continue to dig and update on here with anything useful.
Best wishes
Helena
Greetings Helena:
Yes, I did try File Manager with a zipped file. And I did access the "story.html" file, too. It works fine for showing despite creating a static image of the first frame on each video and placing this between each video. This isn't, however, the kind of tool that would be useful for me. It turns out that AppPresser is an App creation site that allows the import of a LearnDash site (the LMS I use to support all my video content). Once the LMS is imported into the app (and it looks nice, too), the students can download videos directly to their device (see link below). Creating this app using AppPresser's software is relatively easy and much less expensive than most other App creation software. But, this is just one option.
I think the upcoming Buddyboss App (due out this month) looks promising.
That said, I would be interested in the creation of an app with a clean interface that could allow downloading of Storyline content. Sharing the cost on this would certainly make this more affordable. Please keep me posted.
