Apps for Kids podcast 006: Numbers League

Apps for Kids is Boing Boing’s podcast about cool smartphone apps for kids and parents. My co-host is my 8-year-old daughter, Jane Frauenfelder. Today, we review a math skills game called Numbers League for the iPad. I hesitate to call it educational, because it’s so much fun to play that your kid won’t realize she is sharpening her arithmetic skills as she adds, subtracts, and multiplies numbers to vanquish super villains. It’s $3.99 in the iTunes store.

I also found out the Numbers League exists as a card game, and there’s a Kickstarter page to get funding for an exhibit at the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester, NY. I’ve been there and it’s an excellent museum!

If you’re an app developer and would like to have Jane and I try one of your apps for possible review, email a redeem code to appsforkids@boingboing.net.
