Smart Apps For Kids

iTooch Middle School: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: A quiz-style app that may be useful for parents and teachers, but might not be motivating enough for students. A few areas need improvement, but it's Free to try all seven content strands!

Children's Bible Games & Activities: Review

 

 

Bottom line: If you want your kids to understand Christmas as something more than Santa and presents, then the depth and quality of this app make it worth considering for children ages 7 to 12. Download the free game for sure.

Oh, What a Tangle! - Review

 

 

Bottom Line: a cute e-book with a winning title and just enough interactivity to keep your little bookworm coming back for repeat performances.

Puss in Boots: Interactive 3D Pop-up Fairy Tale - Review

 

 Bottom Line: The classic fairy tale gets a less than classic rendering in a 3D pop-up book. Poor narration and rather awkward interactive elements make it difficult to get through the 30+ pages.

Fairy Tales for Clever Kids Review

 

 

Bottom Line: The duckling is not the only ugly thing in this awkwardly worded, poorly conceived app for beginning readers. The first tale is free however.

 

 

Heidi Story Collection - 3 in 1: Review

 

 

Bottom line: Expensive, but a beautifully abridged version of three classic Heidi books with tons of content. Most highly recommended.

The Pedlar Lady of Gushing Cross: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: Classic folk tale gets an extravagant, cutting edge adaptation for the digital age that older children and their parents will enjoy over and over.
