Calendar Scheduling

Now there is a calendar in your app where users can schedule classes, courses, routines, and challenges directly in the app and sync them with Google Calendar or iCal to plan ahead and stay consistent.

Partner action

No action required to enable scheduling. To maximize engagement, partners should add the Calendar widget to the Home Screen (ideally near the top) and promote the feature to users. Calendar placement and visibility can be customized in the portal.


Custom Content Widgets

Add customizable content widgets to Home and Explore to surface classes, courses, and programs with fewer taps and improved flow.

Partner action

Action required. Partners must add and configure Custom Content Widgets in the portal to make them visible in the app. Choose what content is shown, name the widget, and select a display style (small or large thumbnails).


Popular Classes Widget

Highlight your most popular classes in a horizontal scrolling widget to help users quickly discover proven content.

Partner action

Action required. Partners must add and configure Custom Content Widgets in the portal to make them visible in the app. Choose what content is shown, name the widget, and select a display style (small or large thumbnails).

Partner action

Optional. Open the New and Recent widgets in the portal and experiment with the smaller class thumbnail option. This is purely a visual preference—use it to see which layout best matches how you want your app to feel.


Smart Search (Home Widget)

Smart Search is now available as a Home Screen widget, allowing users to describe what they need and instantly find relevant content.

Partner action

Recommended. If AI Search is enabled for your app, experiment with placing the Smart Search widget on the Home Screen and Explore Screen to help users more easily find what they’re looking for. Test different placements to see what creates the smoothest discovery experience.

Note: Smart Search is only available for apps with AI Search enabled by the Breakthrough team and is still being rolled out as of January 2025.
