"This is fantastic! Just what I needed for my class! I loved the amount of media and the immediate feedback on the quizzes." -- Apple Distinguished Educator, USA
"This app does what educators do on their own time. The app gathers informational texts, photos, videos and organizes the resources well for the viewer. This saves a great deal of time for educators. It is also an amazing app for parents who are helping their children understand different habitats. This is a high caliber app that is definitely well worth the cost." -- Apple Distinguished Educator, Canada
