Student's Revision Apps Help Other Students Prepare for Exams
LONDON, May 8, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
EducationApps, the UK's leading provider of mobile revision apps for students, has
released more than 50 apps over the past two months. The apps help students prepare for
their examinations, including Common Entrance, GCSEs, AS-levels and A-levels.
The majority of these new apps are quiz based. Users can take a random test, or focus
on a specific topic. They get detailed explanations and links to further reading when they
select an incorrect answer. Users can even select their exam board, ensuring they only
receive content that is relevant to their course.
George Burgess founded EducationApps when he was just 17. Now 20, he continues to
manage the company while a full-time student. He says, "Mobile learning is overlooked by
many traditional publishers. With my proximity to education I realised that there are
thousands of students who have come to expect this type of material on their mobiles but
can't find it. EducationApps completely solves this problem."
The new apps are available on the iPhone and iPod touch. Many are also available for
iPad, Android and BlackBerry. Apple has just featured the majority of the apps under the
'Exam Time' banner on the home page of their App Store. Burgess says, "We've had some
great reviews so far and are delighted by the level of enthusiasm we've witnessed in
response to our new apps. We are developing a brand which students can return to time and
time again for all their mobile learning needs."
EducationApps has also teamed up with Oxford University Press to release a series of
undergraduate apps, including Oxford University Press' popular 'Concentrates' series for
undergraduate students studying law. EducationApps has also worked with BBC Active, a
joint venture between Pearson and BBC Worldwide to create the BBC Bitesize apps, which are
also featured on Apple's App Store.
Throughout May, EducationApps rolls out two new apps a day and is staging daily
competitions on its Facebook and Twitter accounts. Going forward, the company will partner
with more publishers to increase the variety of EducationApps' content. Burgess says, "We
have exciting projects in the pipeline and are working closely with many of the world's
top academic publishers."
All apps are available via EducationApps' website, http://educationapps.co.uk
