Desk research from the maker's own pages. Not yet tried by us. Checked 2026-10-24.
A UK-based directory of education apps and AI tools reviewed by teachers. Parents and teachers browse by subject, age (3-5 up to 18+), platform or need (dyslexia, AAC, screen time) and read reviews, lists and buying guides. A free account lets them compare up to four apps, save shortlists and get age-matched picks. Developers submit apps for certification, and certified apps get a badge and product page.
Our take: A useful place for parents and teachers to scan teacher-reviewed apps; keep in mind that makers pay to be reviewed, so cross-check before buying.

A browser check on 2026-10-25: what loads, the ads and trackers we saw, and what a child meets first. Not a hands-on test.

From the test: A directory of reviewed education apps for parents and teachers, but its first visit sets data-broker and ad cookies despite its own cookie promise.
