Best New Kids Apps for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad

Star face Reviewing the apps submitted to ikidapps.com gives us a chance to encourage our readers to look into some new and noteworthy apps. This time, there's an app to build your own farm, make silly stories or even learn counting with an amphibious friend.

Get your iPhone, iPad or iPod out and start downloading. Then sit down with the kids for a dose of new app fun!



Baby’s First Monsters 1,2,3
Price: $0.99
Designed to help children learn to count, Baby’s First Monsters goes beyond the typical 1,2,3 apps by providing children with really, well, monstrous things to count – like the heads on a “hydra” monster. It’s creative, cute and educational.
 


Sparklefish
Price: Free
“Mad Libs” was one of my favorite childhood games. By coming up with creative adjectives, nouns and verbs, I would create goofy stories that always produced a giggle. Now, Sparklefish allows users to work on their English skills and complete funny stories on the iPad, iPod or iTouch. But, now you can record your voice. Awesome!
 

Orbital Defender Save the Universe
Price: Free Lite Version
We find that apps requiring you to stay on your toes while playing can be addictive. Orbital Defender falls into that category. You’ll have to keep your eyes open and your fingers tapping as you protect the universe from invaders.
 

Sam Phibian
Price: Free
Sam Phibian works on a child’s counting, hand/eye coordination and recognition skills with the help of a very friendly, and cute, frog. Kids must follow directions and help Sam get his favorite meals by touching the specified numbers of insects. A great option for helping kids learn to focus.
 


MoMoFarm
Price: $2.99
It’s no doubt that this app is like Farmville, but without Facebook and tailored for children. Kids can build their own interactive farms, helping them to learn strategy and perhaps a bit about agriculture as well!

Thanks for the great article. I'm a mom of two little boys, always looking for good educational apps. Here is one: Who Am I Animals. It's a easy trivia game that will teach toddlers about animals and their sounds. This educational app can be played in other languages, such as English, Portuguese and Spanish, check it out: www.technolio.com/who-am-i-animals/

How to Disable Location Tracking on Your iPhone and iPad With cell phones and the internet, there’s not many places to hide these days. And now, some iPhone apps are tracking where we are. At first, location tracking may not seem like such a big deal, until you consider that if apps are able to track your location, they’re also able to track the location of your children. And who really knows where, or to who, this information is going? Keep your kids’ safety in mind, and turn off in-app location tracking. The only people that really need to know where your youngsters are at is you. Here’s how to...

Is iPhone Harming Our Families? by Debbie After dinner we find ourselves sitting in the living room; just the five of us. Formerly, we might have watched TV together. Maybe played a game. But instead I observe one teenager listening to music on her iPod while checking her Facebook account. My son watches a favorite TV show on his iPad. My other son plays a game on my iPhone, and my husband reads the news on his laptop. Go figure! Me? Well, I'm probably doing laundry, but that's a whole different conversation. Technology now rules the roost, so to speak, and communication, well . ....
