Real Estate app a good study tool but needs TLC

The 100 Real Estate Terms to Know app is, if nothing else, appropriately titled.

This 99-cent app offers real estate terms ranging from the basic (like Fannie Mae and foreclosure) to the more advanced (such as negotiable instrument). The terms are presented as flash cards and you have options to create a favorite list, an ignore list or an index of all the terms.

If my description of the app seemed a little dry and lacking in flash, that’s because this app is a fixer-upper. It is nothing more than a tool to use if you’re studying for a real estate license.

While 100 Real Estate Terms to Know will undoubtedly teach you real estate terms, it’s not going to help you understand the business. The addition of a memory game or anything else would be a huge step forward because this app needs more of everything.

If you’re trying to get your real estate license, this app for you. But if you’re buying or selling a home or you just want to learn more about the business, you’ll be quite disappointed.
