Smart Apps For Kids

Jungle Adventure: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: a simple yet effective introduction to numbers, counting and colors with animal sounds and puzzles thrown in for good measure.

Jungle Picnic: Review

  

  

Bottom line: a narrated preschool storybook /activity center combo with some cute animal friends sharing in the fun and learning of pre-math skills.

Leo’s Pad Appisode 1: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: The first in a continuing series of immersive educational apps that star young versions of historical figures. Youngsters are drawn into the story and even older siblings will enjoy the Oscar worthy animation.

Learn Basic Latin American Spanish with Doki: Review

 

 

Bottom line: Topical Spanish lessons delivered through interactive visits to locations in an animated city. The individual components are a fun way to introduce core vocabulary to kids aged 7-14 but there are some inconsistencies throughout the package.

See.Touch.Learn Pro 2.0: Updated Review

 

 

Bottom Line: With the addition of a share community and other interface improvements, the app Ron called "a complete and total game-changer for education on the iPad if you're willing to invest the time" now has the potential to help even those parents and professionals who until version 2.0 never had the time or vision to fully utilize this app.

SonicPics: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: A simple interface for kids and their parents to make narrated slideshows. It has many applications for education in addition to being highly entertaining.

Shoe Tying 1 - Activity App 1: Review

 

 

Bottom Line:  How many stars for the joy of not having to bend over and tie another shoe?  Invest $4.99 and forget about those $40 co-pays for OT that isn’t working.
