The all‑in‑one revision app, explained for parents.
Plumi is where your child revises for GCSEs and A-Levels on iPad: their notes, a to-do list, exam questions marked line by line, flashcards and past papers, in one calm place.

Why one app
Instead of five apps and a pile of paper.

Notes in three notebooks
A planner nobody opens
Flashcards in another app
Past papers in a folder
A week’s wait for marking

Marking
It marks their handwriting, line by line.
They answer with Apple Pencil, like on paper. Each mark lands on the line that won or lost it, and the mark scheme opens beside the answer.
Against each question’s own mark scheme
Asks first if a misread could cost a mark
Won’t mark if it can’t be sure
Progress
It knows what they don’t know yet.
Every topic on their specification gets a square, coloured by their marked answers. The weak spots are plain to see, for them and for you.

Planning
It turns ‘I should revise’ into a plan.
Plumi picks tonight’s topic from the marks they’ve lost, and lays out the week from their marked work.
Tonight’s topic, picked for them
10, 25 or 45 minutes
A plan for the week, from their marked work
And everything else
The rest of revision, in the same place.
Flashcards from their notes
Plumi turns what they’ve written into cards, and brings each one back just before they’d forget it.
Focus sessions that block apps
They choose a topic and a length. Distracting apps stay shut until the timer ends.
The effort, in numbers
Time studied, answers marked and cards reviewed, day by day. Ask them to show you.
Company, without the chat
A quiet pixel library to study in alongside others. Talking is only with friends they add by private code.
What parents ask
The honest answers.
Is the marking accurate?
Each answer is marked against the scheme written for its question. If Plumi can’t be sure they match, it won’t mark.

Will it do the work for them?
The tutor nudges first, with a question back. Work done with help never counts as mastered.
∫ e2x dx = e2x + C
What’s the derivative of e2x?
d/dx (e2x) = 2e2x
So what undoes that 2?
∫ e2x dx = ½ e2x + C
Who can they talk to?
Friends are off until they turn them on, and added only by a private code.

What happens to their work?
Notes and marks stay on the iPad. Only the page being marked is sent, after they agree.
