AppyZoo
|
Stickery is a mobile learning game platform for parents to manage kids' playtime. It is developed by AppyZoo Inc. Many parents use their iPhones as a "babysitter" because kids (3-5 yrs old) love it vs traditional toys. The problem: most apps don't help parents to prepare kids for school because they are either too fun(games) or boring (education apps). Stickery is a story-based suite of apps built by 2 ex-Stanford entrepreneurs & an award-winning kids' media producer. All our game content is based on preschool curriculum standards & approved by educators. Our apps collect usage data to generate progress reports for parents. These reports help them track the learning value of playtime on the iPhone. | Seed / Jun 01, 2011 |
