Ratings and Reviews
Blows competition out the water
I have recently got an iPad and was looking for something for my 4yo girl as she’s going up to preschool this year. I must say when I first started looking at kids apps I was incredibly disappointed with the selection. From colouring to education, it was either rammed full of micro-transactions (a certain brand that starts with D and ends is isney is the absolute worst), poor quality or both.
This app has it down. Everything is split neatly into bite size education levels and the interactive nature it keeps my daughter engaged. The sheer amount of stuff to do and the quality of it puts all other apps to shame. And it doesn’t cost a penny!
My only request would be that a future update include Apple Pencil support in that palm rejection is enabled in Library > Create > Draw, and then subsequently allow the kids to free colour on the rest of the Library > Create selection, this will allow them to colour by themselves trying to keep it in the lines rather than just the fill option.
Developer Response ,
We're excited to hear that you and your daughter have discovered Khan Kids. Your suggestion about Apple Pencil support and free-form coloring have been noted and shared with our development team to consider in future updates. Thanks so much for this wonderful review!
Excellent app
After using Lingo kids for my 2 year old daughter a few months and finding it really repetitive and difficult for my daughter to navigate, I gave Khan Kids a go, and after a few days cancelled my subscription for the other in favour of Khan Kids.
So much more interesting, and also I love the focus on the early numbers and letters when first starting up, rather than jumping ahead to things she’s not quite grasping yet.
She loves the characters.
The only negative I’ve found is that sometime when an activity is already demonstrated my daughter picks it up quickly and gets frustrated to wait for the bear to finish talking before the next interaction.
Otherwise though I love the app and more importantly, my kid loves it too!
Absolutely brilliant
This app is incredible! Made learning so much more enjoyable. Amazing library of interactive games and videos and it’s all for FREE! In this day and age this kind of App should be costing much more. There are apps out there that charge people so much money for nowhere near what this amazing app is offering. It’s truly incredible that all this fantastic content is available FREE. So much thought and planning has gone into it. Thank you to the the developers for this tremendously valuable contribution. My daughter now believes she “can learn anything”. Outstanding and the best educational app hands down! Nothing like it. We love it!
