When did you decide to develop this app?
When the iPad came out in 2010, we were deeply convinced that tablets will change the way we learn. What if we could play and learn at the same time? What if learning could happen whenever we want, wherever we want, in small chunks of a few minutes each time? Tablets are intuitive and have the ability to eliminate the barriers between school and home, work and personal life, play and study. That’s the vision behind eduPad’s mobile apps.

When did you first release this app?
The first apps we published were iTooch 5th Grade Math and iTooch 5th Grade Language Arts in late 2010 (back then the original names were iTooch Math Grade 5 and iTooch English Grade 5).

How long did it take you to develop this app?
We went on the App Store very quickly, with a simple, intuitive and stable first version in order to know whether there was a market or not. Our apps have been featured by many blogs and downloaded thousands of times. That’s why we decided to develop our apps in-house later on instead of outsourcing it to indie developers

What is your favourite feature?
We have built an online platform that allows teachers to create great content and exercises without knowing how to code an app. On our side, we focus on the technological part of our apps, making them as simple and intuitive as possible. This why we are the only one to offer educational apps covering the official Math and Language Arts curricula for 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th graders and complying with the U.S National Common Core Standards.

What skills were you hoping to help the end user to develop??
Our apps have not the ambition to replace teachers. They have been thought as a complimentary tool. They provide an easy-to-use interface for students to practice what they have learned during the day at school. Each chapter includes a lesson summary to highlight the main concepts students should know.

What age range would this app most suit? 2bjDgPvqSJlxxLj67sfzS0-temp-upload.qodbnpui
Our apps covers the official curriculum from 3rd to 8th grade. They are thus well-suited for kids between 8 and 14.

Are any new updates coming soon?
We have a lot of stuff on our roadmap for 2013:

In the following month, we will publish apps to prepare and practice for the SAT, TOEFL and DELF exam along with an app covering the Music curriculum for 7th and 8th grade.

By the end of February, we will publish most of our apps on Windows 8 platform.
We are currently developing a new version of our apps on Android for Q2 2013!
Some fresh news: we have just hit 400,000 downloads!
