Best iPad app for 3 year old

My youngest is usually at preschool but obviously home with the rest of us during lockdown. When I'm working (still wfh) I let her use the iPad sometimes and she's great with the CBeebies playtime island app which keeps her entertained whilst I'm on conference calls. Anyway, does anyone know any good educational apps for this age group? My older two have work from school to get on with but youngest I'm at a bit of a loss with.

She has the alphablocks app too and that's been great.

The only one I feel to recommend is this one learn.khanacademy.org/khan-academy-kids/

The best education an iPad can give is staying turned off, but I understand that covid makes things more difficult.

I’m interested to find out some apps that other parents like too.

iPads are a fixture in our day to day lives now. My husband and I use them at work, the schools use Seesaw app to share education stuff. It’s a new generation and electronics are constantly used in schools and work places. It’s only going to become more frequent.

I’m happy for my child to learn to use technology that she will need to know how to use later in life.

We also learn through play, and the good old fashioned work books too.

At that age my DD liked the BabyBus games, like Baby Panda's Supermarket, Go Fishing, Baby Care, and the house tidying one. They're all free and if you turn the wifi off there's no adverts. She's 6 now and still plays some of them! They're easy to understand with no real reading, although some are a bit more advanced than others.
