About Me

Welcome to Apples and Apps. In old school style, we used to bring apples to the teacher. Now bring the teacher to you. As a Mom, I'm Keeping You Up-To-Date on the Latest Educational FREE and On SALE iPhone & iPad Apps. Why educational apps? Just like you, I have kids. And although they love Angry Birds, I'd like to see them learn something as well. And no, I have absolutely NO affiliation with Apple or any of its products… although I am writing this on a MacBook.

Scholastic Reading Timer - Free App of the Day


Scholastic Reading Timer
Just in time for summer!


Becoming a good reader requires practice, just like learning to play a sport or an instrument. The Scholastic Reading Timer app promotes reading practice by encouraging reading every day and most importantly, makes it fun! Use the Scholastic Reading Timer in two ways: in conjunction with the Scholastic Summer Challenge, where kids are given weekly reading goals and log their reading minutes to win virtual rewards, or as a fun and functional reading timer to use throughout the year. Either way, the power of reading is in the palm of their hands.

Features include:


  • Time and log reading minutes with an interactive stopwatch
  • Boost motivation to keep kids reading while school is out
  • Help schools break the read for the world record
  • Daily tips, articles and booklists for parents
