My dd is 7 and as I have just upgraded to an iphone 4, I am going to give her my old iphone 2 (without sim!) for Christmas
Any suggestions for some good games (ideally with a bit of an educational bias), that I could put on for her.
We have Plants and Zombies!!! Also Doodle Jump, Peppa Pig - none of which are educational!!!!!
Do you have any Apps that you kids love and are worth getting?

Or if I am allowed to hijack, same question for android?
We have Monkey Math and Monkey Lunchbox - i think they are aimed at younger than 7 though, but there may be some 'higher' versions

The game where the dog has to retrieve named objects is excellent for hand-eye coordination. Is it called Snatch?

I have a timetables app. Also foreign language apps available. National Geographic do one I think too.

pop math is good for adding and taking away.
this weeks words is a great spelling app
tell the time is good
I found the national geographic one too difficult and too US focused.

Squeebles is a decent basic times tables app. And Percy Parker is quite fun.

Fetch (not Snatch) is very good for hand eye coordination.

Wurdle can be good just for looking at CVC words and finding rhymes to them.
I like the Times Table Clock.
I also have one whose name I've forgotten at the moment, where the bathroom mirror fogs up and then you can write on the surface, and you can practice letter shapes that way with younger children.

My first motor is an app with a toy car where kids can play with the car and learn the various parts. Also good for teaching word/speech recognition too! My friend has just released it on android and it will be available for iPad soon too. I would recommend it

Your DD is too old but for anyone looking for a good app for Reception children (or a little younger if they are already interested in letters etc), there's a great one called Pocket Phonics which practices phonics and letter formation. The sounds seem to be the ones recommended to use by teachers, eg not buh but a shorter b sound, and it is good fun. DD really enjoys it.
