Smart Apps For Kids

Playground 3: ABC Edition – Review

 

 

Bottom Line: A fun little alphabet learning app for kids ages 3-6. Features lots of opportunities to practice recognizing and writing letters. Doesn’t break any new ground, but does feature a yeti. Free lite version available.

Joy Tales: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: This is a nice free book/reading app targeting kids age two to six. It contains a good underlying message with great interactive graphics, but additional stories cost $1.99 per story.

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.

Fun For Kids – Memo Cards Premium: Review

 

 

Bottom line: A no-cards-get-lost digital version of The Memory Game that most of us played as kids. Not highly different from other memory card games, but intriguing to both of my boys and me, as well.

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.

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.
