SachManya teams up with yet another top shelf author, Simon Seymour. The makers of the prized Yapper  (stands for Your Application Maker) has collaborated with the renowned author to launch his first mobile app built on YAPPER, called “Science Fun To Go.”  It features science news, in-depth coverage of all types of topics, exciting videos, online quizzes.  You can also preview and purchase mobile books from Seymour Simon.

In a released statement Seymour explains the reason behind the creation of the app, saying, “SachManya with its YAPPER mobile publishing platform was my first choice as a place to build Science Fun To Go.  It represents a new milestone in making it easier for my content to reach even more teachers, parents and science education professionals. And I know my primary audience — elementary school kids — will love reading my books in a digital format. I couldn’t be happier with the results of this new platform for my work.”

“We’re pleased to offer a robust, mobile-publishing platform for a wonderful man with amazing content like Seymour Simon. We’re providing a fast and affordable way for publishers, authors and brands to mobilize their content, engage with their communities and via in-app purchase monetize. By working with Seymour Simon and leveraging the PayPal X platform, we are able to innovate and evolve in the mobile app market,” Chintu Parikh, Chief YAPPER and CEO of SachManya expresses joy with the new project with the renowned author.
