About Apps4Trainers
The platform Apps4Trainers is the one-stop destination for trainers, training consultants, coaches, HR experts developing internal trainings, and everyone working on a presentation, video or learning project. From web-apps to websites, tools, platforms or mobile applications – there are numerous little helpers that can make the trainer’s life easier. No matter if you are working on a learning/coaching project, organizing a training event from scratch or creating a video, there is (often) free support available out there.
But how can you know that such tools exist, their names and features? It is impossible to guess that there is an app that can do a certain task and we often end up struggling to do things on our own or with complicated software. Here comes the first of its kind platform for categorization, description and reviews of apps and tools for trainers, coaches and consultants – Apps4Trainers.
The idea for Apps4Trainers originated from Daniel Jones’ presentation at the ATD International Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. For third consecutive year Dan presents the most “Awesome Apps for Trainers” at one of the biggest learning conferences worldwide. He is one of the main contributors to the website, together with Guido Betz. You can read more about both of them below.

Daniel Jones
Dan Jones has been involved in training since 1991 when he first taught buyers at Macy’s how to use a mouse. Since then, he has been a trainer, a training manager, learning community manager, and today, a modern workplace learning and communications professional.
He’s a bit of a tech geek and enjoys playing with apps on his computer, tablet, and smartphone. That is why he decided it’s an awesome idea to share with you some of the apps he has discovered and what you—as a trainer or instructional designer—can create and do with them.
