All of the DragonBox math apps are fantastic. For this age group, Numbers is amazing. The higher math skills games aren't quite as good, but still worth the money.
This thread was surprising because it didn't compare the evaluative research on HOMER versus Spalding (phonograms-based -- www.spalding.org) reading and writing programs. Would it be possible to get such a comparison in a follow-up post, perhaps?
Here is the news segment that initially prompted this inquiry:
+1 on those Sago Mini apps. My kids have loved them for years. In the same way that a toddler will sit in a bath until it's stone cold just happily pouring water from one cup to another, when a bath isn't available they'll sit and dispense smoothies for an hour and have fun watching the little characters drink them. Pure joy, simplicity, and laughter (with a side of mild challenge / puzzle thrown in).
We definitely used the Stop and Go Potty app while potty training, and it was helpful, but it is a one hit wonder. Still using Khan Academy Kids and PBS Kids Games, and like both. Though it is really hard to dial in the difficulty level.

Reminder (myself included!) you can get a bubble machine for about $10 and let the kids play bubble popping IRL! 😅
