{Tech Talk} Two Tried and Tested Kid-Friendly Android Apps

Hiya again!

I'm on a posting spree right now! Haha! Well, I am trying to de-stress because today was kind of frustrating because I wasn't really much able to work because BabyLove was in "tantrum" mode. Every time I start working, she also starts making tantrums. *sigh*

So, to make up for my down time, I decided to blog instead. And so far, I am feeling pretty good. :)

And on to my real purpose for this post. If you are ready, read on. :)
Now that my BabyLove is starting to get really curious and exploring using some stuff, one of the things she loves playing with is my phone. And, since it is a touch phone, she tends to touch the screen to where she shouldn't go to such as contacts list, which leads to calling someone accidentally. And alas! No load! Haha! Well, there sure are ways to lock your phone, but, sometimes, I get lazy setting it up. LoL!

Because of that, I decided to resort to kid friendly Android apps that my BabyLove could use. Without further ado, here are the two apps I have already tried and approve of.

Talking Tom by Outfit7

If you don't know Talking Tom, he is a cute talking cat that you can interact with. You can touch him and make him purr. He also wouldn't be called "Talking Tom" if he does not talk right? Talking Tom listens and repeats what you say. And that makes my BabyLove giggle. Talking Tom also has a 'Violence' setting, in which it allows you to hit him and make him dizzy and drop to the floor. But, if you don't want to expose your child to violence yet, then, you can turn it off in the settings. Although it is not that violent, still, it's best to keep them from that.

Talking Tom comes in a free and paid version. The free version isn't bad at all, except for the ads which your little one could accidentally tap on, taking the app away from the screen. When that happens, my BabyLove simply gives back my phone and asks me to put it back. Lucky me! Haha. Although, it gets tiring trying to get the app back over and over again. But, I know not all kids are like her. So, the paid version is an advantage, giving you more interaction options, as well as a child lock. Neat, right?

Outfit7 also has some other animals such as a talking parrot, dog, a female cat, and others as well, so make sure to check out which animal appeals more to your child.

Kids Phone with Toddler Lock by Ringtone Rocket

This is my BabyLove's favorite, and mine as well. It's like a modern talking phone toy, only, it's an app. Haha! It has touchable buttons that looks like a keypad, all in bright colors. They also have additional buttons at the bottom that has additional sound effects such as someone saying "hello", animal sounds and phone rings.

The best part is, there are no ads which a child could accidentally tap! Also, there is no way for them to exit the app using the buttons of the phone unless they can spell the word 'exit' which shows up when exiting the app! The best free app kid phone lock! You must try it and see if your kid enjoys it! In my case, my BabyLove enjoys it! :D

Hoping you find this post helpful! :D Let me know your thoughts. ;)
