Hey all,

Hopefully this is the right forum to post in - I was just wondering what child-friendly apps you've come across? Whilst my child doesn't have an iPhone/iPod of his own, I do let him play with my Iphone 4 (carefully, I might add!).

He's a big fan of Angry Birds, but I was just wondering if you knew of any apps that offer educational value whilst still being fun for the kids?

Search in the app store under category "educational". There are loads for children of all ages.

My top ones are:

Minecraft Pocket (seems good for hand-eye co-ordination)
I Learn With Transportation (because it just looks so flippin lovely!)
Green Schools Revolution (edutainment and it has a charming design)
Tiny Wings (once you get a hang of it, it's a great way of learning about physics)
Incredible Machine (better for the older sort, but fun and good for inventive types)
