Yapper’s App for Best-Selling Children’s Author Seymour Simon!

Yapper, they clever app making studio that claim to be able to make any app in any shape, size, or function, have been working for awhile on some really great stuff for Android. They’ve been responsible for more than a few popular apps recently, and now they are teaming up with Best -Selling Children’s science author Seymour Simon to make an app that allows you to buy his books right from his app!

“Science Fun to Go”, Simon’s Android app, will serve as a “go to” mobile destination for up-to-date science news, in-depth coverage of all types of topics, exciting video, online quizzes, plus preview and purchase of mobile books from Seymour Simon. It’s geared for all ages, with a large majority of his literary work at your disposal. Additionally, Simon’s newest work “Silly Dinosaur Riddles” will be available exclusively via his app for the first 30 days it is out. This new release will include new “read to me” or “let me read” features Simon plans to add to all future releases in the app.

The child friendly aspect of the app is great, but it’s also noteworthy that the purchasing of new titles through the app is done within the app, using PayPal.
