Avery, along with Foothills Education, LLC, also produces a mobile quizbowl study guide app called Fact Mountain. The three fact mountain apps currently available are American Literature, Russian Literature, and US presidents and can be purchased from the Apple App Store. Apps are purchased separately for around 3-4 USD and are probably a massive rip off.
