III. Learn C++
Learn C++ teaches how to program with the C++ language for beginners or more experienced programmers. C++ progresses through levels and points.
This app is interesting because programming is not often taught in high schools and it definitely should be! For a high school that does teach an intro class to programming this app would be really great for beginners to attain the basic information needed.

IV. PhotoMath
PhotoMath is a camera calculator where you point your phone camera to a math problem in your textbook and the app outputs the answer with the steps included.
This is a really incredible app that can help students in a math class learn how to solve a difficult question given that the steps on how it is solved is included. Because the back of Math textbooks often only include the answer, this app allows students to see how it is actually solved.
