hello again ladies and gentlemen I'm Joe handy the Android authority app guy usually our lists are riddled with utility apps tools and other apps directed at adults today we'll be taking a look at a few of the best apps for kids even though there are a billion people who like Angry Birds and seemingly a billion people who don't like Angry Birds there is little doubt that as a kids game Angry Birds is awesome it's a colorful cute game with virtually no content that would make a parent blanch at the idea of letting their kids play it we won't go into the game mechanics since everybody knows how Angry Birds works suffice it to say there between 6 Angry Birds titles there are hundreds of levels so if you want to keep your child occupied for a very long time this is a great way to do so also they're all free next on our list is duolingo this fun and simple little app teaches adults and kids of all ages how to speak a second language with the only prerequisite being that you can read it offers Spanish French German Italian and Portuguese and it even teaches English if your child cannot yet speaking each lesson is broken up into a bunch of smaller exercises as adults it takes very little time to shoot through them which means it'll take the kids a little bit longer this is a great way for parents and their kids to bond while learning a second language it's also educational to boot that's a win-win most kids enjoy drawing and doodling especially in bright colors if you're looking for an app to do just that then we recommend kids doodle like most apps on this list it's quite simple so little minds can grasp it and it's actually a pretty fun little doodling app each new canvas is a different color and you have about a dozen options for your brush don't worry about colors since the brushes change color on their own there's even an option to play back all the strokes so kids can watch themselves draw the things they drew get mode sounds like a kid's app but it's actually a whole launcher so it's quite a bit more complicated than some of these other apps once it's set up though kids can navigate through it easily and access games a drawing pad books and even local content if it's kid approved as mentioned inside there's a doodle pad kids books kids games and a bunch of other stuff for your kids to play with perhaps the best part is it locks them out of the rest of the phone so you don't have to worry about leaving your phone with your kid and having them screw things up turbo kids is a deceptively fun little racing game you play as either a little boy or a little girl and you race against a bunch of aik to try to win instead of the classic three star point system like Angry Birds you said earn stars based on how you place fifth is one-star third is two stars and first is three stars during races you can pick up power-ups to help you run faster jump higher and restock your freezing bullets from there you jump run and shoot your way to victory the controls are as simple as tapping the screen and it's even fun for adults as well if you take a look at our leaderboard you can see how all these apps stack up against one another as always this is how you guys rated them and there is no bias on our parts if you want to check them out we put the app links in the video description as the saying goes kids are our future so we try to include not only fun apps but also some educational ones it should also be noted that we stayed away from those simplistic little arithmetic games because those are really a dime a dozen if there's an app that you think should have been included but wasn't let us know in the comments once again I'm Joe Hendy the Android authority app guy feel free to subscribe to our youtube channel and check out the written version of this video and our social media links in the video description
