We started this research with a simple question: Are the educational apps we’re recommending to children with visual and hearing impairments actually accessible? What we discovered was sobering. After conducting real-world testing with 18 blind users (ages 5–14) and 12 deaf users (ages 6–15), we found that zero out of 20 tested applications fully comply with WCAG […]

We recruited 100 adult language learners and tracked them for six months across three of the market’s most promoted language apps: Duolingo, Babbel, and Rosetta Stone. The marketing claims were bold. “Achieve fluency in months,” they promised. What we discovered was starkly different from the narrative you see in app store reviews and marketing materials. […]

So I spent six months analyzing every Apple TV+ original series […]

Gear up to discover the top 3 educational apps every Chromebook student needs—one of these might just change the way you learn forever.

When I signed up for Apple TV+ in January, I thought I was getting a steal.
