An Analysis of the Education Category of Apple’s App Store
Over 80% of the top selling paid apps in the Education
category of the iTunes Store target children.
In 2009, almost half (47%)of the top selling apps targeted
preschool or elementary aged children.
That number has increased to almost threee quarters
(72%).
