— August 22, 2013 — Tech
The spread of smartphones has been especially useful in educating and entertaining children with kid-friendly apps. In response to a large demand for youth-inspired apps, many developers have developed mobile software for kids. Smartphone-based products like storytelling iPhone apps and baby teeth smartphone trackers aim to educate, track and entertain children. This list contains examples of apps that were made for kids in an attempt to capture dollars from parents.
