New Language App Mind the Gap Hits Top-Ten Word Games over 50 Countries - Published on 01/17/15

Five weeks after its initial release, the English language app Mind the Gap has ranked under the top 10 word games in over 50 countries, among them USA, Canada, Australia and Germany. The App is a blend of word game and language learning app and sharpens your language skills both for native speakers and learners of English as a secondary language. The producing label science-to-touch is well known for high quality apps, that are placed on the borderline of challenge, relaxation and serious content.

Munich, Germany - Mind the Gap is a crossword puzzle like challenging English language app that has climbed in the Apple App Store charts. The language app is aimed at both ESL learners and native speakers. Unlike most other word games Mind the Gap lets you guess words in context. The app follows the philosophy of enforcing a natural and idiomatic feel for language. As both a game and learning tool, Mind the Gap helps you to tackle trouble zones in language holistically from an entirely new perspective: you have to guess words in context to reconstruct the meaning of authentic English texts or even idioms, proverbs and common sayings.

Mind the Gap was launched in November 2014 and was met with a very positive echo with over 25.000 users after only 2 months and enthusiastic user comments from "addictive" to "excellent teaching app and fun game".

During a "free for 48 hours" promotional campaign the app climbed into the iTunes charts and was ranked under the top ten word games in 58 countries, among them USA, Canada, Australia and Germany. The app analysis service AppTrace recorded that the language game hit the global top 1% of all apps.

The app is an offspring of the popular app label science-to-touch. Science-to-touch is dedicated to impart complex knowledge and deeper understanding in simple and enjoyable relaxing or challenging environments. "We already know about the value of inclusive and natural language learning. We want to continue enhancing the users language skills by spicing well thought-out learning methods up with an interesting and interactive environment and content covering trivia from all parts of the world" says Prof. Jurgen Richter-Gebert, head of the science-to-touch-label and coproducer of the app.
