General Comments
 Khan Academy is a very useful educational app. Khan Academy can
 be used for children or adults, which makes the app extremely
 helpful. The best part of Khan Academy is the wide range of
 subject that is available. I like how they use Youtube to deliver
 each lesson that appeals to all different types of learners.
