Innovative $100 App to Improve Students' Grades for a Lifetime

TEL AVIV , Israel, July 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Struggling with tons of homework seems to be a major part of school and college life, but a smart app developed by an Israeli start-up might change that.

Skills and Knowledge, a start-up company from Tel-Aviv, had just started a crowdfunding campaign to finish its very promising app, sCoolWork.

sCoolWork is an all-in-one-app for doing essays and school papers better and faster, using proven guidance, a proprietary smart editor and a built-in content fetcher which seems to completely eliminate the use for searching on Google.‎

"Eliminating unnecessary tasks is what sCoolWork excels at", says Shachar Tal, co-founder. "Students' tasks can be either 'learning' or 'garbage'. 'Garbage' is filtering search results or making sure every space and margin is MLA compliant. These can take 50% of your total homework time! With sCoolWork all of it is reduced to nearly zero, so you can focus on the 'learning' tasks such as forming your ideas or applying critical thinking."

sCoolWork was released early 2012 containing a small number of features, but already users report they are doing better work, at a shorter time. "We just received a very moving 'thank you' email from one of our users", says Alex Dayan, founder and CEO, "in return, we sent her a draft of a funny new video we've made".

That video is for a crowdfunding campaign to finish sCoolWork early this upcoming school year, including a very unusual offer: "We thought of a way to reward the people who believed in us from the start" says Alex, "and we think they should all be a part of sCoolWork for life, so we're giving a lifetime subscription for a $100". As sCoolWork is priced at $39 per semester, and has long term usage potential, the offer is impressive. "A lifetime of grade improvements and weeks of saved time for the price of a two hour tutoring session", concludes Shachar.

sCoolWork's IndieGoGo campaign is scheduled to end early September at the start of the school year.
