What’s New with Earmark for July 2023

· ·

I’m excited to share some of the new features and updates we’ve added to the Earmark app this month.

My three favorite additions are the new built-in media player that lets you control audio playback within the app, the ability to add an email CC address to automatically forward CPE certificates, and the option to un-enroll from courses you don’t want to finish.

Here’s the full rundown:

Built-in media player

My favorite new addition is the built-in media player. When you start playing a podcast or audio course, you can access playback controls directly within the app. Tap the episode name to expand the player and get options like rewind, fast forward, play/pause, and scrubbing. You can even minimize the app while the audio keeps playing, just like a standalone podcast app. We’re rolling this out across all new courses, so stay tuned for more podcasts you can listen to right in the app.

Light mode is now default

Light mode is now the default look for new users. If you prefer dark mode, head to your profile settings and toggle it over to dark mode.

Improved channel sorting

We’ve improved channel sorting so the most recently updated courses appear at the top. You can also change the sort order to alphabetical if you prefer. Just tap the sort icon on the Channels screen.

Email CC for certificates

Add a second email address to your profile to automatically CC your CPE certificates. No more manual forwarding to collect certificates!

Subscriber-only label

Our library has grown to over 800 hours of CPE, so we’ve marked some older courses as “Subscriber-Only” to encourage Unlimited Subscriptions. These are only available to paying subscribers.

Cross-platform sync

Your account settings and subscription status now sync across Android and iOS. Purchase a subscription on one device, and it’s available on the other!

Filter for IRS CE in the CPE Tracker

We’ve added an IRS CE tab on the CPE tracker to easily filter courses that qualify for IRS continuing education.

Un-enroll from courses

Don’t want to finish a course? You can now un-enroll so the course will no longer display on your “In Progress” courses on your Profile.

New channels

Check out new shows like the Mr. R Show and The Lifestyle Accountant!

PHOENIX, July 6, 2023 — Earmark, the only free, podcast-based continuing professional education provider for accountants, is thrilled to announce its first society partnership with the Maryland Society of Accounting and Tax Professionals (MSATP). Effective July 6, 2023, this strategic collaboration offers an enhanced Unlimited Subscription as a benefit to all MSATP members, adding significant value to their memberships.

Earmark’s Unlimited Subscription includes unlimited free CPE courses each week, an ad-free experience in the app, and the ability to opt out of sponsor messages during registration for sponsored courses. Designed for professionals from small firms, the subscription aligns seamlessly with Earmark’s and MSATP’s shared vision of high-quality, affordable, and accessible education.

As a NASBA-approved CPE sponsor and IRS-approved CE provider, Earmark boasts hundreds of course offerings spanning accounting, tax, technology, fraud detection, personal development, practice management, and more. MSATP’s professionals, including CPAs, CMAs, and EAs, can now conveniently satisfy all or most of their continuing education needs by listening to podcasts. One anticipated standout is the Federal Tax Updates podcast exclusive to Earmark, providing biweekly federal tax news and analysis.

MSATP members can unlock their Unlimited Subscription simply by registering for Earmark using the same email linked to their MSATP account. Should they encounter any issues, assistance is readily available at support@earmarkcpe.com.
