Cell Phone Applications Class is significant to students in high school because many students like to entertain themselves with their cellular phones in their free time.

Teacher of Cell Phone Applications Mr. Neff explained, “This class is mostly where the students create their own games and things that they would like to have on their smart phones.”
   
“What we use is a program that is an iPhone simulator to see if the apps the students made actually work.” Mr. Neff said.
   
“They can make up any apps on their own, starting with photo albums, address books, and all kinds of different things. The kids seem to really enjoy it.” Neff explains.
   
“Some people don’t have  iPhones but they can still take the class because they can still learn how to make the games and things, and they still find it very enjoyable.”
   
“Students use an app on a map to locate where they are and where they have been. The students seem to like that the most.” he added.
   
Cell Phone Applications have become a very popular class at Red Lion High School.  It can be a benefit for students who enjoy being on their cell phone.
