Where Do Schools Get Safe Educational Apps?
Where do schools and students get educational apps without tracking, without ads and without high costs? How do you ensure apps are safe and appropriate?
EduTab App Store solves this with a curated collection of 50-100 educational applications, security scanned, zero tracking, ad-free, and available at no cost.
Why Schools Need a Different Applications Marketplace
Traditional app stores are designed for consumers, not classrooms
The Traditional Software Problem
Privacy Issues
- Apps request unnecessary permissions
- Tracking and advertising built into many apps
- Data flows to servers outside Europe
- GDPR compliance is questionable at best
Inappropriate Content
- Games and entertainment mixed with education
- Age-inappropriate suggestions
- Ads in "educational" apps
- In-app purchases targeting children
Commercial Company Account Requirement
- Every device needs a commercial company account
- Account management overhead for IT
- Commercial companies collect data on every download
No School Control
- Schools can't control which apps students see
- No way to curate a school-specific catalog
- Updates happen automatically, breaking ecosystems
