Appy Friday 9/30/16

Appy Friday!

A big welcome to my new readers! Normally there are a good number of free apps to download. Unfortunately, it’s slim pickings today for free apps and even worse, none of them were really thrilling to provide reviews.

Hopefully the offers will be better next week!

Have a great weekend,

Betsy

Appy Friday 9/16/16

Appy Friday everybody!

I woke up this morning thrilled it was Friday, even though it was raining like crazy in St. Louis! It’s never fun getting my feet soaked every time I stepped out the door. Then there was the traffic….

Anyways, links to free apps below. I just have time for a couple of reviews, but at least I have them today!

Enjoy and happy downloading,

Betsy

Reviews

Elementary

Astro Nora: Addition & Subtraction maths for 4-7 year olds by Julie Ward

https://appsto.re/us/pZfB9.i

Normally $1.99p

This is a really cute, Mario-style math game that works on addition, subtraction, or a mix of the two. There are four levels of difficulty and over 800 questions! You move along, bouncing your guy up to catch coins and do math problems in between. The problems are listed left to right. It includes a pop up number line or 100 square for reference (the number line and hundreds square are not interactive sadly). However, the part I like the most is you can choose formats on how you answer, either multiple choice or keypad mode. Most of the apps out there are multiple choice, so I really liked that you could do this differentiation for kids on the fly. For the bonus feature: those coins you collect actually have a fun use. When you are done, you can go into “alien burps”. Which means for every three coins you earned, you can tap on the monster and make it burp! Hilarious!

Middle-High School

Voyzer Voice Reader by Mindex International Ltd

https://appsto.re/us/xjn44.i

Normally $4.99

This is a text to speech reader that is able to read aloud your text searchable PDFs, ePub Books and typed text. You can bring in text from dropbox, google drive, wikipedia, gutenberg library or get a typing window. Now most iPads already comes with built in text to speech, you just turn it on in the iPad settings. The benefit of trying this app is the "text only" mode where it will just show text and you can select the Dyslexie font. (a font specifically made for people with Dyslexia)

Also free today!

Appy Friday 9/9/16

Appy Friday Everybody!

I wanted to point out to Android users that I am putting Android links in two places. Some links will be mixed up with the iPad links, if the developer has apps in both operating systems. I am bolding when this happens to help you out. Additional Android apps will be listed at the end. It just saves me a little time (sorry Android users! We still love you!)

I got a little late start on my app downloading, so I ran out of time for reviews! I hope to get to it soon!

Have a great weekend,

Betsy
