Smart Apps For Kids

Discover Paris: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: An excellent concept for introducing the history and culture Paris, all narrated by a cute owl. The content, aimed at ages 3-10, is a bit uneven but four areas are available for Free.

Weather and Clocks for Kids: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: A deceptively simple app that actually packs a lot of content into a tidy package. Weather and time are available in real time using geo-locate.

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.

Longlegs and the Pirate with No Nose: Review

 

 

Bottom line: A story you want to like because of the great art and well, pirates. The amount of cartoon violence and a plot that has seemingly been plundered and pillaged make it a questionable choice for younger readers.

Noa and Ladybird: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: a pleasant enough storybook app for ages 2-6 that feels as if it might be missing something - sort of like Noa's featureless face.

Turn And Learn: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: The turning in the title refers to a series of flash cards that flip when users correctly select the requested item. The process sounds easy except that directions and the target words may be given in one of four languages.

Luca Lashes Learns to Brush His Teeth

 

 

Bottom Line: A gentle book with an adorable hero that teaches children the steps and importance of brushing teeth—even if it feels a little scary at first. Also available for Android.
