Investee Company Update: Schoold App featured in Apple App Store

Lorne Abony CEO of FastForward, an AIM listed company trading under the symbol FFWD, is pleased to announce that, on Thursday, April 7(th) 2016, investee company Schoold announced that it has had its App categorised as a 'Best New App' in Apple's (US) App Store. FFWD has a 9.1% equity interest in Schoold.

App store features are highly coveted, Lorne Abony, said "with millions of Apps available to consumers, being one of the Best New Apps is a major milestone that only a fraction of App companies ever reach, we are grateful that Apple's team was in support of the Schoold App and its ability to significantly support students in their quest to find the best higher education choice.

Lorne continued, "The App store feature is a testament to Schoold's vision of making the college decision process easy for the next generation of students, we anticipate that the App Store feature will allow Schoold to organically reach an even wider audience almost immediately, and we are excited to be invested in a company who is innovating in such a valuable space".

"Our teams have been working non-stop to build the best app experience for students and parents, reaching 500,000 downloads in our first 30 days was a significant milestone for us and we couldn't be more thankful that Apple has taken notice" said Sourabh Ahuja, Schoold CEO.

Apple's App Store generates over $20 billion (USD) in annual sales and counts over 1.5 million Apps. The App store only features a small number of App's in its "Best New" category, which is displayed to App store users prominently.
