Our team created an app to help struggling learners with dyslexia. The app will be released in June and uses dyslexia-friendly techniques tailored for each user. It aims to make managing dyslexia easier and more fun through games and a customizable character to guide users. The app's yearly fee of £1.99 is affordable compared to other resources and will provide personalized learning support through testing, lessons, and tracking of progress.

3. Our App
As a team, we want to effectively help young people
struggling with dyslexia. As the majority of our team is
dyslexic, we know the struggle people can face. Our team is
hard-working and motivated and we will strive to gain as
much as we can out our experience in the Apps for Good
process.

4. The Problem We Are Solving
We know that getting young children to work can be hard a
fun app will get them away from the boring textbooks and
on to the app where learning is fun.

5. Our Users
We have a wide range of users. Although our app is for
children it is the parents after all who would have to buy the
app. We know our users well. Children need engaging
throughout the courses but
as they start to grow up
we will use different
methods to
help
them learn.

7. How We Are Different From
Our Competitors
Our app is different from all the other learning apps out
there. Firstly, we provide a personal learning environment
where the child is taught using dyslexic techniques that will

At the beging of the app
younger children are given
the option to design a
character to help them as
they proceed through the
levels, all they need to do is
press the question mark
button to get a tip from their
personalised friend.

13. Our marketing strategies
We will use schools to promote our app, advertising in
school newsletters and billboards in order to attract our
target audience. As well as that, we are hoping that users
of the app will send it to others who know/have dyslexia
so that our app can be the beneficial to the most amount
of people.

14. Feasibility
Our product will cost £1.99 every year as a yearly contract.
This is because we need the support for professionals who
would take part in research to produce the best learning
techniques and lessons for all our students. However
although we do charge this amount it is so much cheaper
than different books etcetera, but will be so much more
personal to your childs learning difficulties.

15. We are very passionate about are app idea and we hope you will see the massive
impact this could have on people everywhere. Thank you!
