NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Meredith Corporation's (NYSE: MDP) PARENTS released this year's list of Best Apps for Kids, a selection of 23 winners considered top learning apps of 2020. The list is available on Parents.com/bestapps and in the November issue of PARENTS magazine, available now.
"These days, parents turn to their tablets not only to entertain their kids, but to provide ad-hoc childcare and educational enrichment. But finding quality apps isn't easy: The marketplace is flooded with options, and it's hard to figure out which apps are worth your time and money. PARENTS embarked on this giant app road test to help clear the digital clutter for our readers, and upgrade their kids' screen time experience. I'm thrilled with the list of winners," says Julia Edelstein, PARENTS magazine Editor-in-Chief.
PARENTS editors tapped tech and education experts for their picks in the crowded kids' app space and then gave a panel of junior testers permission to play. 23 winners were named based the following criteria: ad-free, limited or no in-app purchases, clear learning goals, fun factor, representation, and games kids can't easily play in real life.
The complete PARENTS' list of The Best Apps for Kids is listed below by category and on Parents.com/bestapps.
