Ask HN: Good iPad apps for children to help with learning?

6 points by dsyph3r 13y ago ↗ HN

I introduced my niece to Angry birds on the iPad today, which she loved and picked up really quick. I started looking for other apps to help with teaching, specifically Maths and English but couldn't find anything good.

Does anyone know of good iPad apps (free of paid) that are aimed at children (age 4-10) that could help with learning?

I don't have specific apps to recommend right now. But you can find children apps reviews at these sites:

DragonBox. It's a game of match and eliminate symbols according to some basic rules, e.g., remove the same from each side. Usually around level 12 is when you realize the rules are algebra.
