Most proprietary LMS are geared specifically toward the college/university or corporate training markets, and are thus quite expensive.

The good news is that a number of organizations are hard at work tackling the "app gap." They target health, education, jobs, and finances. In addition to efforts to build community-relevant apps, a number of initiatives designed to train youth from underrepresented communities to build mobile apps have recently launched.
