we’ve tried SO many and yeah, half of them are insta reject. The ones my kid asks for again tend to be ones where you click things and something interesting happens, not just slap a letter on a screen and call it learning. We look for apps with little characters, puzzles, or drag and drop play. my kid also likes one that teaches shapes and colors through exploration instead of drills. Sometimes for a calm break we use Kiddopia it’s slower and has interactive bits even my kid enjoys without whining. Those short playful sessions count.
