Motorola APPy Hour: Kids Apps

December 27, 2012 : BY Motorola

Kids are always in need of engagement, and unfortunately, a lot of them choose to watch TV or play mindless games that don’t seem to serve any purpose but to prove their thumbs can move really quickly. Parents want young children to spend their time productively and safely, but too often, the hecticness of their busy schedules gives way to letting the kids just watch cartoons or play games that don’t have any educational value. And while parents keep a close eye on their kids, and take plenty of pictures and videos, that content gets lost in the shuffle of life and hard drives, sd cards, wall posts, etc. If only there was a way to let the kids be engaged, have fun and learn, and for the parents to get an organized digital record of their fleeting childhood, all at the same time. Well that’s what today’s APPy Hour is all about. With these apps, all available in the Google Play Store and ready to go on your DROID RAZR HD by Motorola, parents can feel good that their kids are spending their time productively and having fun. Meanwhile with the Kidfolio App, parents are getting a timeline of their childs’ life that can be shared and stored seamlessly in the cloud. And for new parents, the Kidfolio app can send a new article every day with info on child development and other helpful tips.
