It's Been a Good Year!

2010 has been a busy and fruitful year for gWhiz. Since the holidays are the traditional time to reflect on past accomplishments, we thought we would take a look back at the year and share some of our biggest triumphs. We appreciate the unwavering support of our customers and content partners as well as our family and friends and look forward to continued success in 2011.

We started the year with a respectable number of apps under our belt but have experienced phenomenal growth, ending the year with over 100 apps available on four separate platforms including the i-devices, Android, BlackBerry and netbooks. Our products span a wide range of educational topics and appeal to a variety of audiences, from the K-12 set to college students to busy professionals preparing for accreditation programs or just learning for fun.

A few recent additions to our line-up include Guitar Basics for Dummies, an app designed to get the user playing real music – fast! With a built-in electronic tuner and metronome/drum tracks, this app has it all. And you don’t have to be a music aficionado to appreciate our other new For Dummies apps which include GMAT Practice, GRE Practice, and ACT Practice, to name just a few.

Do you have a high-school student in the house? We’ve created several apps this year designed to make studying for the SAT, ACT, and various AP exams much easier and a lot more fun. In collaboration with McGraw-Hill, we developed college-prep apps: ACT Vocabulary and SAT Smart Cards, as well as AP apps for U.S. History, Psychology, World History, U.S. Government and Politics, European History, Microeconomics/Macroeconomics, and Biology. And for the fan of the popular Twilight series, we have created two SAT/ACT prep apps based on the first two books: Defining Twilight Vocabulary Practice and Defining New Moon Vocabulary Practice.

We also continue to work with Florida Virtual Schools, a leading provider of online education for the K-12 set, to develop innovative apps designed to enhance their curricula. With three meStudying apps already on the market and more in the pipeline, gWhiz hopes to position itself as the go-to developer in the virtual education industry.

As we look forward to 2011, we couldn’t be more excited about the future. We see limitless opportunities for growth in our current markets and beyond. We at gWhiz believe in putting out compelling, value-driven products that speak to people. We hope that you will share our vision and continue to support our progress in the new year.

Wishing you peace and prosperity during the holidays and in the year ahead.
