Abstract
The present study explores apps aimed at preserving historical memory and are presented as a resource for promoting social and civic competence. Its objectives are to identify these apps' primary characteristics, and to describe both their adaptation for the learning of content and the ways in which these resources deal with heritage and historical memory. The results present a small sample of apps that for the most part function as museum tour guides, that are very limited in terms of their educational adaptability, and that present heritage education in terms of emotionally charged symbolic and identity content in which historical memory is not addressed in an entirely satisfactory manner.
