Smart Apps For Kids

Build with Grandpa is brand new! Five Stars!

 

 

Bottom line: Build with Grandpa lets you have a day on a job site building a house with everybody's favorite grandpa! From demolition to finish work, each fun activity takes you through a step in the building process. 

Zap Zap Math is now available for Windows PC! 5 Stars!

 

 Bottom Line: It's a great thing when developers of a five-star app continue to improve their already excellent app. And that's what the folks at Zap Zap Math keep on doing. Not only is their app a favorite among our SAFK's Top Picks, now they've gone and made the app available on Windows PC! 

The Best of the Best -25 of our five-star apps in one convenient post! (Part I)

I like things to be easy, don't you? Sure you do! To make your life easier, I've gathered up all of the apps we have rated five stars and I'll be putting them in posts of 25 so it's now even easier to browse the best apps we've had the pleasure of reviewing here at Smart Apps for Kids. Thanks to all the developers who have created apps to teach and entertain our kiddos! In case you're wondering, I'm listing these starting with the newest five star apps and I'm working my way back through older posts, so if you think something is missing, don't fret, it'll be in the next posts. As always, Enjoy and share with your friends!

New Top Pick! Hoopa City 2 by Dr. Panda is bigger and better fun for young city-builders!

 

 

Bottom Line: I have to be honest, sometimes I have to hem and haw over the pros and cons of an app before writing the bottom line for a review, but this might be the best Dr. Panda app published. The interface is simple and easy to navigate while figuring out what combinations of buildings make larger buildings is like a giant Easter egg hunt. They have thought of everything from ease of play, to turning off the promotions screen, to opening the buildings to interior play and even a night mode. I had a blast tinkering with this app and I'm betting that you and your children will too. 

Best App for Math: Zap Zap Math - K6 Math Games continues to excel and adds up to a 5-star app!

 

 Bottom Line: If there's one thing I love, it's a great math app. Or maybe a math app with a lot of free games, or a math app fun enough to stay engaging, but still maintaining a focus on the skills. No, really, I love a well-designed app for kindergarten through sixth grade that never crashes. Amazingly, these great features add up to just one great 5-star app!
