A Season of Thanks

We at Icanology have so much to be thankful for! This has been an amazing year and this is the perfect time to recognize the people who have made a difference for us and for others. Molly, Robert, and Lynn want to express thanks to:

All the MathGirls–and boys!–out there who have loved our apps. You have made our work worthwhile!

Moms With Apps, the family-friendly app developer group, for their incredible support. Particularly the amazing co-founder, Lorraine Akemann, who also develops travel apps for kids, and co-founder Lynette Mattke, developer of picpocketbooks. Both have been big MathGirl fans! Happy One Year Anniversary, MomsWithApps.com!

Our other fellow app developers, particularly Krishna at the KidsMathFun series and Caroline at DuckDuckMoose who have given us heads’ up right when we’ve needed it.

Our fabulous reviewers (Not necessarily in this order!) Heather@theiPhoneMom, Jenny @GeekMom, Nathalie@FunEducationalApps, Ashley @HyperHomeschool, GiggleApps, Angela@MommyPR, Elizabeth @ParentingPink, Victoria @RatedGforGeek, Jamie and Jen @BestKidsApps, Mike @CrazyMikesApps

The staff and kids at the Paia Youth and Cultural Center, the most special kids place on the planet. Especially Susun White for growing this wonderful place from a burned out shack on the beach. And also Laura Civitello of the kids’ radio station RadiOpio, and the kids who first tested Arithmaroo for us.

Sydney Smith for her excellent ideas, particularly for the names, Arithmaroo and Icanology.  Richard Taubinger for the brainstorming that created the MathGirl brand.

Rick Rasmussen for his unfailing support and humor.

Stason Strong for putting up with Molly’s deadlines, even on the Greek isles, and for his right-on professional feedback.

Steve Jobs and the fabulous team at Apple for making all that we’re doing possible. They’ve started an entirely new way to engage children and families to learn in the healthiest of ways.

And, always, Nancy Jenkins, who put up with Lynn and made her laugh.
