What Tap to Learn does
When we began our first experiments with using Mobile devices a few years ago we were very excited by the possibility of learning in nontraditional manner. The beauty of effectiveness of the iPhone first and the iPad platforms gave shape to our vision of building beautiful apps, designed to build learning for your iPhone, iPod touch and iPad Devices. Each of our apps are extremely easy to use, focus on just one area of learning using interactivity and add an element to fun while learning.

Games For Education
We build educational games for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad that focus on one area of learning at a time. Our apps combine interactivity with simple user experience to make learning engaging and fun for kids and learners who want alternatives to traditional methods.
We live and work in Menlo Park, California, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
Menlo Park is our home and where our team is already established. Being here keeps us close to the tech ecosystem and resources we need to build and iterate quickly.
