Best Android Apps for Children
With all the junk on the Play Store I figure it would be good to start a thread to share/discuss the best android apps you've found for your kids.
Please make mention of whether the app is free or paid, has in-app purchases or ads, and whether it can be used offline.
OK I'll start. Most of mine are educational since we are trying to use the tablets more for learning than play. All are free, can be used offline, and are ad-free or ads are not very intrusive.
1. iTooch Math app by eduPad. iTooch has a separate app for most elementary school grades and subjects and all of the ones I've tried are good.
2. Youtube Kids. Obviously online only
3. Overdrive. Reading app that lets you borrow ebooks from your library using your library card.
4. Multiplication Math Game by camerapps. I like the timer function on this one and it also has a versus mode which is good if you're getting two kids to challenge each other. Only downside is the ads are a little intrusive.
5. Alphabear. Online only but it's a fun word game.
6. Intellijoy apps. Like iTooch they produce a bunch of good apps suitable for toddlers
The next one I'm thinking of putting on is Khan Academy.
