It’s been an “app-solutely” great week here at BrainPOP! First, we launched a major update to our iOS Featured Movie app, enabling mobile access to all our movies and quizzes. You’d been asking for it, and we delivered! Now, we’re thrilled to report that users have given the app a five-star rating and a ton of awesome written reviews. If you haven’t yet left a comment in iTunes, we’d love it if you did! [Note, you’ll need to view the page IN iTunes in order to write the review.] iTunes has also featured us in several categories: · “New and Noteworthy” in Education, under iPad as well as iPhone · Number 3 among the free Edu iPad apps · “Curricula Support” under “Apps for Teachers” · “Just for Fun” in “Apps for Kids” And please leave us feedback or questions regarding the app. We’re working hard to support mobile learning in classrooms and on the go.
