Banner Program

The Banner Program is a way I can recognize developers who contribute to the Moms With Apps community in the following ways:

  1. They make incredible apps for kids and families – ones that support creativity, family connections, and learning.
  2. They are team players, and join the knowledge exchange in our forums and/or provide cross-marketing support for our promotions.
  3. They have future value, and are looking for ways to turn their hobby into a viable business, which will support product diversity in the marketplace.

Featured Developer

Susy of Busy Bee Studios entered the kids app marketplace with Zoo Train, which is a hit with parents of preschoolers and is holding firm on the App Store charts. Giggle ghosts followed with a Halloween theme, where little ghosts bounced over spooky fireplaces to the delight of little fingers.

Their latest title, Bug Games, takes insect critters on a journey to connect dots, build tunnels, and count numbers. Sharp, friendly graphics greet the user with activities that can scale various stages of early learning.

Susy has contributed two articles to the Moms With Apps blog sharing her experience about a Mom’s perspective on app development, in addition to using toddler beta testers throughout the creation of an app. She has a vision of extending her product line into more thematic apps for the preschool age group, older age groups, and segmented activities that focus on particular skill sets.

Susy, you represent a fantastic example of what’s possible, and I look forward to seeing what’s next!

Congrats to Motion Math,

Will definitely try this one out with my son and daughter. I met Gabriel at the iOSDevCamp and highly respect his dedication to educational apps.

Sincerely,

More than me, my 3yr old daughter can tell you that this app (“Draw Animals”) rocks! She spends so much time coloring, drawing…. this app is just amazing. Well, I like any app that gives rise to creativity, and this is an app like that. Thank you Madhavi!

Hi Satyajit,

Thank you so much! I am so glad that a 3 year old is also enjoying iLuv Drawing Animals. We purposely designed it to be a simple app that focusses completely on drawing and I am glad that kids are gravitating towards it. Thank you so much for letting me know :)

Best Regards
Madhavi
