Introduction
Mobile apps for education is gaining traction. There are a lot of children fun applications on Play store which are mostly education apps or related to certain kinds of play or co-curricular activity to develop vocabulary, memory, perception of form, spatial visualization, cognitive skills or motor skills in children. It is also found that globally, Indian parents spend maximum time personally, helping out their children develop these skills.
To conduct my research, I have chosen the Google BOLO app designed for primary grade children. Bolo helps to improve reading skills, by encouraging children to read aloud and give them instant feedback even when completely offline.
