GALWAY, IRELAND - 2026-10-19
Alison has launched Alison Premium on Android and iOS, extending the subscription experience beyond the web for the first time. Existing Alison Premium subscribers can now sign in to the Alison App and access Premium benefits, while also viewing details of their subscription directly through the App’s account settings.
Premium Subscribers Can Move More Freely Between Web and Mobile
Bringing Alison Premium to the App means subscribers no longer leave their subscription benefits behind when they switch from the website to mobile. For learners who regularly study from their phones or tablets, the change makes Premium relevant to a larger part of their Alison experience rather than limiting its value to the time they spend on the website.
Subscription Details Are Now Available Directly in the App
The update also brings Alison Premium account information into the mobile experience. Subscribers can view their plan details through their account settings without needing to return to the website. This gives subscribers greater visibility over their plan while they are using the App.
Alison Premium Is Now a Cross-Platform Subscription
The launch changes the role of Alison Premium from a subscription tied primarily to the website into one that can support Learners across Alison’s two main digital experiences. This addition allows Alison to continue developing the subscription as a cross-platform experience, giving subscribers greater continuity wherever they choose to access their learning.
