Based on the description, I chose to download Duolingo to my iPad and signed in using Google+. I used the Spanish module. I tried to test out of the first 7 skills based on my ancient high school Spanish. I got pretty far, but eventually failed. I tried the first lesson, and I liked the variation of multiple choice, translating, and choosing words between explanations. This seems like a great way to buff up my Spanish.
I also tried Fooducate. First I tried to locate it in the App Store using the iPad, but could not find it. When I went to their web site, it said the app was for iPhone, so I tried searching it in the App Store using my iPhone and found it. This app really wants me to upgrade. I'm using a Fitbit to track my food, but if I weren't, I might use this. Oddly, my breakfast cereal gets a lower grade on their website than in the app. What's that about? I like the listing of points and the ability to scan barcodes. I'll keep this in my weight loss arsenal for a while.
This was a fun and useful Thing.
