Removal Of Starter Accounts
As of the 30th of June 2020, AppShed will no longer support the Free Starter Account.
It is with an extremely heavy heart that we remove the Starter Account from AppShed. The truth of the matter is that we can no longer carry the free Starter accounts. To ensure our EDU users get the best possible experience we will be removing the Starter Account.
If you've ever made contact with us you will know we are a small team of educators, makers, and developers. For the past 10 years, we have absolutely loved seeing users build apps, learn to code, create games and more - whether they had an EDU account or not. Unfortunately this is something we just can't support anymore.
We want all the users, teachers, makers, and anyone using our platform to know that we are here for them. We want to help you as much as possible during this transition. We highly encourage anyone with questions or concerns to reach out to us. This is going to be a difficult transition for many and we want you all to know that we will do our best to make it easier for you. If you have any questions or concerns reach us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
We will be replacing the Starter Account with a 15 Day Free EDU Trial and an Individual Account Priced at £8. You can sign up here.

Can I upgrade?

If I upgrade what happens to my students' apps?
If you upgrade your account to an EDU account you'll have two options for getting your students signed up which are:
- Add your student's exciting Starter accounts to your EDU School Account. This will carry across all of these apps, usernames, and passwords so nothing will need to be changed.

Our team members will be available to help with either option to ensure a quick and smooth transition.
