Top 10 Educational Apps for Kids on Android and iOS
Contents:
• From an early age, modern children can use educational applications. They know how to use a smartphone or tablet and can open their favorite apps before they have mastered the primer.
• There are tons of apps available for mobile platforms, but not all of them are suitable for kids. For example, many are available only for money, and although purchases on Google Play and the AppStore were "turned off" in 2022, annoying requests for "well, buy" can annoy many parents.
• So that you can be calm, and your son or daughter is busy with useful and interesting work, without looking up from the gadget, I have compiled the top 10 best applications for children, focusing on the recommendations of CSN experts, Tinkoff Magazine and the rating of applications on Google Play. If some link does not open on the computer, I suggest going through a VPN.
