The Homework Helper app aims to help secondary school students remember homework assignments and due dates. It allows students to record homework tasks, set reminders, and share information with other users to get help when stuck. The app's unique features include recording video or photos of tasks, status updates, and online forums for sharing knowledge. It is intended for ages 12-23 and uses a free model with targeted ads and a paid community feature to form online homework help networks.
