Editorial principles
Curation > Scraping
We select apps based on human review, not algorithms or automation. We prioritize quality over volume.
Explanation over Stars
A star rating means nothing. We explain why an app is good – its strengths, weaknesses, and who it's best for.
Humans First, Algorithms Second
Editorial control is the source of quality. Not AI, not user ratings alone – humans who have time to think deeply.
No Real-Time Data from Apps
We don't pull dynamic data from app developers' servers. Each app is reviewed once, and that assessment becomes a permanent decision.
Parents First, Educators Second
The guide is designed for parents who want to choose better. Educators and their institutions are a secondary user group.
Independence
We take no money from app developers, ad networks, or marketing agencies. We're funded by private donors and non-commercial organizations.
