Kidlo Review | Educational Apps for Kids

We live in a world surrounded by technology and electronics.  My boys' ages 11, 9, 7 and 3 love playing on all sorts of electronic devices.  It amazes me how proficient kids are with electronics.  As a parent, I prefer educational apps whenever possible, using the Kidlo educational Apps is a win for both of us.  The kids enjoy "playing" on their ipads and I enjoy that while they are "playing" they are learning.  

We received a free one-year subscription in exchange for our honest review of these Kidlo Apps. These Apps are aimed at children ages 1-5.  They are perfect for my three-year-old but my boys who just turned 7 and 9 both enjoy them as well especially the Coding App.  I appreciate they are learning coding skills in this technological age we live in.

With the boys on summer break from school, educational apps are a great way to keep their brain engaged, have them practice skills they have learned at school and keep those skills fresh in their mind during especially during summer break.  

I am really impressed with the Math and English App as well, again if they are going to be on electronic devices, I would rather them be playing a game that is educational and fun. 

My favorite thing about Kidlo is it is AD FREE so I don't have to worry about them stumbling upon something inappropriate!  I also love that once you have downloaded the games, you can play off-line without WIFI, which is super helpful for road trips.  All the games are colorful and very easy to use, they are definitely approved by my boys.  

Kidlo Coding for Kids is a fun coding game to teach kids the very basics of programming, an essential skill in today's world. It teaches coding with 50+ fun games like firefighting, popping balloons or playing a dentist. Kidlo Coding helps kids improve their problem-solving skills, boosts memory and increases logical thinking skills and prepare them for school.

Kidlo Coding has recently won: 
2018 Academics' Choice Smart Media Award, Tillywig Brain Child Award and the Mom's Choice Gold Award.

There are 1000+ levels to teach these basic programming concepts:
Sequences: The sequence is the first step and most important part of coding. Here the command is executed exactly in the same order of events given by the coder. 
Loops: Loop is a concept for repeating a set of commands. 
Functions: Functions are a set of commands which can be used anytime as per the coder's wish or requirement.
Debugging: Debugging is the process of finding and correcting errors in a given computer program. 
Arrays: An array is a collection of similar type of objects which is used to arrange things in a particular way.
Advanced: Solving by a combination of the above commands.
Coordinate: Learn the movements based on X & Y coordinates.

What skills will kids learn with these coding games?
- Recognize patterns to complete all levels
- Order actions in a logical sequence
- Learn to implement patterns in their day to day life
- Easy instructions to apply in their daily lives
- Discover the right actions needed to solve each level

You can start your free trial and begin your child’s coding journey right away by taking the free 14-day trial!  It is available to purchase for $4.99/per month or the best value is ONLY $29.99 yearly, no commitments, and you can cancel anytime. I really appreciate this price point, I have found other educational Apps and computer resources, many times they are pricey. At $29.99 a year that is less than $2.50 per month, well worth it in my opinion.
