As we posted about a few months ago, we were really excited to learn that an app we built was nominated for two AIMIA Awards. We're now thrilled to report that the app, Play School Play Time for iPad, built for the ABC, was the winner of the 20th AIMIA Award "Best of Tablet – Entertainment" category, as well as the overall "Best of Tablet"! You can watch the winners videos on the AIMIA website.

We couldn't be more thrilled! We're incredibly proud of the Play School apps, and enjoyed working with the ABC team. The ABC team included: David Glen, James Welbourn (pictured), Priscilla Davies, Tali Gal-on, Peter Marks, Jake MacMullin, Sam Gain-Emery (Sonar Sound), Luke Mynott (Sonar Sound), and Kate Highfield (Education Advisor). Thank you all!

ABC Play School Play Time, developed for the ABC by Secret Lab

Developed by Secret Lab for the ABC, Play School Play Time for iPad has hit the App Store this week! Let us know what you think!

This app contains some of the most interesting and complex use of Core Animation that we've ever done, and we're proud of how it's turned out. You can grab it from the App Store here, if you're in Australia, or here, if you're elsewhere!

If you haven't seen the previous app that we built for ABC Play School, also check out Play School Art Maker (Australia/other).

Update! As of 25 September 2013, the Play School Play Time app hit Number 1 in the App Store!
