Essentially, the app lets the user set a background, add stickers to the picture, and also incorporates a ‘guess and check' component that helps individual students assess their work instantly. From Tony's website, here are some potential project uses of the app:

place locations on a map
tag parts of the body
place items where they belong on a chart
complete a graphic organizer
annotate the water cycle
label people in a photo
diagram a sentence
associate powers with the branches of government
sequence events on a timeline
associate words and definitions
label the parts of a plant
put words in alphabetical order
fill in a Venn diagram
match photos of animals to their habitats
