What parents need to know

Parents need to know that Kid Touch is one of those apps you can hand to your toddler or preschooler in the grocery store cart and keep them occupied for the entire trip. The colorful backgrounds, cute animals, fun sounds, and simple touch-and-pop the animals game is really quite engaging -- in a mindless sort of way. Don't expect any high-level learning here, just some harmless fun to liven up boring moments.

  • Ease of use5
    Extremely easy to play. Just touch and pop. Choosing from the different backgrounds is also simple enough for little ones to do themselves.
  • Violence1
    Little animals are falling from the sky, and players have to "pop" them before they touch the ground. If your toddler thinks the animals are falling to their end, it may be upsetting. But if they do touch the ground, they just disappear. They don't actually crash.
  • Sex0

Is it any good?

 

KID TOUCH gives toddlers and preschoolers a game of their own that they can play without assistance by selecting backgrounds, collecting animals, and earning their own high score. It's hard to say exactly why this game is so much fun (even for older kids) but it can provide some simple entertainment in a pinch. As to the developer's claim that it's educational because it teaches toddlers that things react when you touch them on a smartphone screen? That may be a stretch, as most toddlers are learning that very basic human lesson in the real world almost every time they touch something. This game is really more to entertain, which it does surprisingly well.
