"AniMoby is versatile and easy... sure to recommend it to colleagues, students" - EdTech App Reviewer

AniMoby received excellent reviews this week in a review from popular EdTech blog Baker's BYOD.

The blog is managed by "Mrs. Baker," an English teacher from New Jersey who is enthusiastic about technology integration in the classroom. She describes her blog as a "burgeoning blog documenting the use of technology and therapy dogs in the high school English classroom."

According to Mrs. Baker, AniMoby is an effective tool for both teachers and students to create lessons.

"For those of you looking for a whiteboard video creation tool to use on any tablet, check out AniMoby," she wrote.

However, Mrs Baker had one primary recommendation.

"While AniMoby works great on tablets, I wonder if a paired down version could be available for smartphones," said Mrs. Baker. "Teaching in a BYOD district with most of the students using smartphones, having a screencasting tool for a smartphone would be an asset."

Fortunately for Mrs. Baker and other teachers looking for an interactive whiteboard tool that operates on smartphones, AniMoby is planning to release this month a version for iPhones. The iPhone version will be completely compatible with AniMoby for iPads and Android tablets.

AniMoby Officially Released to Google Play Store

Appsis Tecnologia announced yesterday the official release of edtech app AniMoby to the Google Play Store for Android-powered tablets.

Only AniMoby Standard (the free version) is available in the Google Play Store, according to Kaio Soares, AniMoby's head Android developer. 

AniMoby has already received great success with their version for iPads that is available in the iTunes App Store. The app has been downloaded by more than 25,000 users from throughout the world. 

"I have heard from thousands of teachers, from Thailand to Texas, who have used AniMoby as part of a successful integration of technology to their classroom," Koyanagi said. "Technology has changed so much in our lives already, and it is finally making headways into education - making the way we teach and learn more effective and efficient, so we can do more with less time.

"We know our release to the Google Play Store will only encourage more edtech integration," Koyanagi added. "We are very happy to be part of this education revolution."

The education-focused app provides an interactive whiteboard, sound/voice recording capabilities, and access to a variety of design tools (paint, draw, insert photos and text, etc.). 

These tools allow teachers to use the app to make lessons that can be uploaded to the AniMoby website, and from there, students can view the lessons anytime/anywhere with any computer or mobile device with internet access.

AniMoby features a large education-focused clip art library designed to help teachers make lessons. Using AniMoby, PowerPoint presentations can be uploaded to the app where voice and design tools can be added to the slides (find out how by clicking here). 

AniMoby is the perfect app for teachers who are interested in using class flipping techniques, and the AniMoby staff is currently busy introducing the class flip methodology to teachers in Brazil.

Despite Delays, AniMoby Still Plans Release for Android Tablets

The makers of AniMoby announced several weeks ago that the application would be released for Android Tablets in the Google Play Store in the month of October. However, programming obstacles arose which prevented the scheduled release. AniMoby programmers now schedule the release for mid-November.

"Concerning the delays, we apologize to all the people who were waiting for the release," said Fernando Koyanagi, CEO of Appsis Tecnologia (makers of AniMoby). "However, I am nearly one hundred percent sure we will be in the Google Play Store in a few more days. The wait won't be long."

Chief Android Programmer at Appsis, Kaio Soares, agreed with Koyanagi, and stated the issues that prevented the release will be easily overcome.

"We wanted the app to undergo another round of tests - all part of an effort to ensure the app was functioning in the most optimal manner possible," said Soares. "I am just as excited as anybody to get this app in the Google Play Store, but I won't be satisfied if it's not perfect. And I certainly know the customers feel the same way."

Soares stated he has a high level of confidence that the app will be functioning in this "optimal manner" upon release a few weeks from now.

Koyanagi is anxious to get the app in the Android market, which will allow more teachers around the world to access AniMoby and take advantage of its many educational benefits, such as flipping classes. 

The version of the app for iPads recorded more than 25,000 downloads in its first few weeks in the iTunes App Store. 

"With a rapid pace, AniMoby became one of the hottest selling, most talked about EdTech apps in the iTunes App Store," said Koyanagi. "The app is helping thousands of teachers to flip class for the first time. The app is enhancing education worldwide, and we hope our release to the Google Play Store continues this process."

AniMoby hits the 3,000 mark for Facebook fans

Just a few days ago, AniMoby received its 3,000th Facebook fan and is taking a hefty piece of the market share in several countries in the iTunes App Store category of "Education Apps," according to Distimo.com. 

AniMoby's success started in the schools of Brazil but is now being used by teachers at numerous countries around the world. The app allows teachers to make interactive lessons/presentations with an iPad while recording voice and using a variety of design tools (draw, paint, text, highlight, etc.) - and then send to students who can view them anytime, anywhere on any electronic device with internet connection.

This turns the iPad into a mobile classroom, and removes the age-old neccesity of needing a physical classroom to teach lessons.
