21 October 2011 1 comment

People must think I’m in the back pocket of Mindshapes as I’m always raving about their apps. However, I think there success it due to the fact that they have consultant teachers on board so you end up with fun apps that are also educational. I was sent a promo code for their latest iPhone [...]

Available from itunes for 59p // I have to say that I really like this app, if you can ignore the annoying American accent. I’d seen it recommended on a few websites and now that we’ve had a play with it I’m surprised the Sunday Times didn’t feature it in it’s Top 500 apps. It’s [...]
