Review 10 Apps - 7 FREE


I just played with over 50 FREE Apps and felt that the following 10 apps were worth downloading.  GET THEM WHILE THEY ARE FREE!!  (Work in Progress)
Books:
Meet Millie - This is the cutest "Lift the Flap" interactive book which features a video of Millie the Shaggy dog (the real deal) when you open each flap.  I would modify the wording of the story for a preschooler who needs a simpler storyline.
The Surprise - NOW $5.99 - no longer FREE - SORRY! This is a well done video in which you tell the story.  You can write the story to the right of the screen and record the story too.  It's about a boy who finds a dog and sneaks him into his house.  The characters have distinct facial expressions which makes this a great app for kids who need work on reading facial expressions and pragmatics.
Sam Phibian - This is a story about a little green frog who eats bugs and grows - great tool for eye tracking - Sam has to tap the bugs which then get swiped by the frog's tongue.
ABC-123:
Word Pig - Kids can explore letters and spell/read simple 3-letter words - child's voice says letters and the word when complete.
Pre-K ABC - NOW 1.99 - no longer FREE - SORRY!

Puzzle/ Matching:
Kids Trains, Planes & Sea Vehicles - There are4 FREE motivating puzzle games (you can purchase more.)   When a puzzle is completed kids are rewarded with a variety of sound activated events such as clapping and  popping balloons. Big puzzle pieces and nice graphics.
Play Lab - This is a simple and catchy shapes matching game with upbeat music
Simple Sort - NOW .99 - no longer FREE - SORRY! Play a category game with as few as 1 category to 6 categories
Cause & Effect:
Art of Glow - You can draw using a variety of 8 shapes and 8 colors which continue to move until you press the clear button and start over.  You can control the movements and cycles as well.  Nice sound effects.
Music Animals - Great photos and clear sounds & naming of animal.  12 pics are free.
