****For better reliability when scanning barcodes off the phone use these helpful tips.****

Each series offers a range of episodic content from different genres.

The design of this app includes five categories to chose from: Letters, Numbers, Animals, Colours and Fruits & Vegetables. When you tap on the app the game starts and you’ll be brought to the opening screen that shows the locations of pairs briefly. Next these pairs will disappear and the object of the game is to remember the location of where they were located to match up the pairs.

The game can be played with 3×2, 4×2 or 4×3 layout, with the toughest level requiring you to remember the locations of six different pairs. Once you correctly identify a pair, the game tells you the name and shows you a picture, helping children to learn their ABC’s, 123′s, colours and different fruits and vegetables. This fun iPad app is another children’s educational game from the makers of Mr. Blimp that we recently reviewed.

We found this game to be a great app for the car when traveling. It will entertain your children for hours at a time.  We think this is also a great app to help young children develop their language skills along with their number and memory skills. The user interface is kid friendly and easy to navigate and simple to learn how to play the game.

The post Review:Mr Brainy appeared first on Best iPad Apps | iPad apps.

We can see how a thoughtfully designed educational app like this one can help children get a head start with reading and writing.  We like how the Mr. Blimp app is an interactive experience for both the parent and the child in learning numbers and alphabet. Really nice attention to detail in the design and the graphics are very inviting. This app contains 6 different exercises for learning both numbers and letters and it kept my son’s attention for a while so I know he’s really learning. Once you’ve mastered the basics this app also includes a simple spelling game to help show your child how letters come together to make words.

In the first exercise, A-B-C, you get to pick which letters are going to float by for your child to collect with Mr. Blimp. As the letters are collected, they’re read out helping your child learn to associate the sounds with the letters they’ve collected. In the second exercise, The Alphabet, all of the letters go past in order, ready for your child to collect them. As they’re collected, the letters are highlighted along the top of the screen, to help teach the child where in the alphabet the letters are. In the third exercise, all of the letters are shown in the screen and are spoken whenever they are touched. With the forth, fifth and sixth exercises, the same games are played however with numbers from 1-10. In addition, for when your child starts to master all of their letters, there is also a spelling game which teaches them how the letters go together to make words, in this case, fruits and vegetables.

The contents of this novel can be shuffled and the chapters can be programmed like a playlist, or the reader can follow one Jeff at a time throughout the story. My favorite part of this app is that it allows you to start over and read the story again from the point of view of a one of the other Jeffs and with a different ending. We also like that as the novel unfolds there are emails from the characters to each other and the app allows you the ability to send an email to the characters in the story. There also photos, interactive menus, original music, and integration with social media within the novel itself.

Jeff Gomez is the author and he presents an interesting worldview where there are three different versions of himself but each one is different due to choices made at a critical juncture. One of the characters is married, one is single, and one has a family. As they each gradually discover the other, their various lives begin to overlap and, ultimately, become intertwined in ways they never thought possible. The three Jeffs also discover a shadowy underground society of people trapped in similar circumstances, along with a mysterious ringleader named Luther Blissett who seems to know all the answers.
