The illustrations of this new educational app caught my eye. The app, called Birdstown, has activities for each of the 15 birds in the app. The lessons are geared toward children who are learning to read.

Developers, Get Ready for COPPA
The new Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act will be enforced starting July 1st. This means the Federal Trade Commission will hold app developers accountable who are collecting personal information from children under 13 without obtaining parental consent. Please don’t get caught off guard. If you have not done your homework, start by taking a close look at your apps while reading the COPPA FAQs to see if these new regulations apply to you. We’ve recently been informed Push Notifications are covered in the regulation (FAQ #80).
Meet us on Facebook!
The kids’ app community gathers on the App Friday Facebook page every week (peak time at 10:00am San Francisco time). Stop by to share your news!
