Apps Unveiled - June 2021

In this issue

Trying to teach your toddler to color? Keen for your kids to improve their reading skills? You also want learning to be fun for everyone involved, right? You’re not alone in your home education endeavors. Well, there’re never-ending ‘app’ options for parents to download and keep their kids entertained while they learn. But at the same, parents don’t prefer their kids to be online all the time and perform a web search or make surprise in-app purchases without their knowledge. Moreover, having internet access shouldn’t be a requirement for kids to use great learning apps. Well, this month’s Cover Story titled “Kids’ Apps That Work Great Offline” presents parents with apps that are designed to entertain and educate kids through open-ended play—without requiring access to Wi-Fi or a cell signal. Bonus: They don’t contain any in-app advertisements, so all apps offer intuitive and safe environment to trigger your child’s imagination, proving there is nothing like developing your kids’ mind while they’re having fun.

Like every year, Apple announced Apple Design Awards 2021 at WWDC21, recognizing 12 best-in-class apps and games from developers around the globe that you must check out. We’d like to give special mention to Pok Pok Playroom and Alba: A Wildlife Adventure as these two award-winning apps are must for kids to explore. And if you’re an iPhone user, then don’t forget to check out our Feature Guide that lists 51 new features that’ll be coming to your iPhone with iOS 15 software update, later this year.

What’s more, you must know about the 12 key announcements made by Google at the Google I/O 2021 virtual conference last month, which include Project Starline; Smart Canvas platform for better team collaboration; LaMDA, a breakthrough conversation technology; Quantum AI campus; Android 12 beta version; application of AI in tuberculosis screening and finding answers to common skin problems. Details Inside.

Recognizing 7 Kids' Apps That Work Great Offline

Though all of these apps encourage self-directed learning, it's always advisable for parents to sit with kids when they use any of these apps so they can guide them, strengthen their bond, and help children revise the concepts they are learning through these apps. Also, don't forget to set up screen time limit for your kids. Subscription prices mentioned for various apps in the pages to follow are subject to change, and can vary depending on your country.
