Education apps are rarely searched for their own sake but for a goal: learn a language, pass an exam, help a child with maths. What makes a good app in this category varies accordingly.

What the recommendable ones share is that they understand teaching rather than just looking good: sensible repetition instead of endless point systems, explanations when you get something wrong, progress that stays legible, and material written by people with the relevant background. Apps for children add harder criteria — no advertising, no purchases mid-lesson, no chat with strangers, minimal data collection and, where it applies, a clear statement on child safety. For exam preparation, ask how current the material is; outdated questions help nobody. With language apps the split shows up fast: anyone still practising after three weeks is rarely doing it for the badges, but because the app genuinely helps with speaking and understanding.
