Apps in Education
http://www.appsineducation.com/
Apps in Education
Our mission is to present the best search experience for individuals looking for educational apps available in the Apple App Store.
With so many apps in the Apple App Store, it has become a black hole for app buyers and app developers. Educators and parents visit the store looking for that "right" app for learners. But all too often the end their search out of frustration. Or they do not discover the best app that meets the learner's need.
Experiencing that same frustration myself as a parent and a educator, I felt the need to create a site for educators and parents to seek out apps for learners. But also a place for developers to present apps without the cluter. I knew that there had to be a better place to find apps in the education category. Hence this site Apps In Education.
