App Rating

Amazon gives you a chance to purchase basically any item in the world. There are very few items that are not included in this app. It works well and has never crashed on me. It has options to make a wish list and save items to your cart. Also when looking at an item, at the bottom of the page is a section of similar items and items other users have bought or looked at while checking out the same item being looked at. The purchase process works very easily and has two different options. You can be just a guest and this will not save your information but if you plan on purchasing an item from the Amazon app, I would suggest creating an account. When you have a created account you only have to enter in card information, address, name etc. once and it will save it for you. Very well working app.

Accessible for middle school readers (0 more)

My classroom library is somewhat lacking when it comes to non-fiction. I often have a difficult time finding non-fiction that is engaging for a middle school audience.

While I think that this will interest my students, as an adult reader, it's a bit lacking in depth.

I like the bite-sized chunks of information and the bold illustrations of each woman profiled in the book. The biographical information is just the right amount for this age group.

What I really objected to was the attempt to provide life advice from each woman. After each biography, the author imagines a modern real life question readers might have and then attempts to answer that question as the woman who was just profiled might. The whole thing feels incredibly contrived and, at times, not even loosely connected to the woman who was just profiled. I think I actually cringed with some of them because of how cliche and didactic they are.

An Absolute Must-Have

This has to be one of my most-used apps, one I go to on an almost daily basis. We use it for settling arguments over what else an actor has been in, the names of people we can't quite recognise, who the familiar voice in an animation belongs to, if a TV channel has missed out episodes of a series that is being shown and even the dates when a new series is due to be broadcast. One of my favourite things is that it also tells you the filming locations for TV shows and films. I really is a one-stop app for almost all the information you could possibly want to know about movies and shows. I have it installed on my phone, my Kindle and my tablet, and frequently use the website. I would hate to be without it now!
