I've played today's Featured App with two of my kids and was really impressed with how the developers packaged such extensive learn-to-tell time lessons in such a cute package. I am also impressed by how many characters the developers were able to fit into the full title, which is "Tell the Time with Bubbimals – Learn to tell the time on a fun, interactive analog speaking clock - The best educational games for primary, preschool and elementary children by Playerthree.

" Please note that the narration, which is terrific, was done by the developer's six-year old daughter! I always prefer narration by children and it's quite good in this app. We've got a review forthcoming but for now, take a look at Tell the Time with Bubbimals! From iTunes: Learning to Tell the Time with Bubbimals is a fun, new, educational way to help children and kids of all ages to learn how to read, interact and play with clocks.

Bottom Line: Pirates, cannons, and sinking ships are a cute way to practice multiplication and division, but customization is a bit confusing and limited. 2x2=4 is an app by Aplemakh Bros designed to add a bit of pirate-based fun to learning multiplication tables. There is a free light version (linked below) to test the app before you buy. The animation, interface, and game play aren't fancy—in fact, choosing the settings is the most complicated part of this app!

But there is some fun to be had here, matey. When the game starts, the players’s ship is on the left, and the marauding pirate is on the right. Each ship has a certain amount of lives, depicted by little hearts, depending on the number of problems to be solved. At the end, a screen pops up listing the elapsed time of the game, the number of helps needed, and what happened to the pirate—if the pirate won, the pirate flag is shown; if the user won, then the pirate emblem is behind bars.

Still, my second grader enjoyed the app. Best Free Math Apps. When it comes to learning, math is like vegetables. Kids either love it, or they hate it.
