Education apps
Learning apps are used heavily by children and students, which raises the bar for how they should treat personal data. In this section we check each app's data practices against its classroom or family use case, and we note which features genuinely work without a subscription.
Babbel - Learn Languages
Useful lessons should survive outside the lesson screen
Coursera: Learn career skills
A course should match a task you need to perform
Duolingo: Language Lessons
A streak is a prompt to practice, not proof of proficiency
Google Translate
Use the result to clarify meaning, not certify it
Khan Academy
Use hints to learn the method, then remove them

Mobile Access to Real-Time Student Data for Parents and Students
