Ask HN: Great parenting apps?
Any HN parents know of an app that helps my kid learn and let's me keep track of his progress?
Open for other app suggestions as well :)

- benologist 10y agoGreat parenting + delegating learning to an app sound like competing objectives.
- jkkorn 10y agomeant something closer to: Apps that will help me in being an even better parent. Maybe something that my toddler can play with that will help develop certain areas of the brain. Not delegating parenting to the app hehehe
- benologist 10y agoGenerally the apps mine wants to use (about to be 5) are youtube videos of toys and playing games. When my daughter was a little younger she liked this one a lot, it's shape identification, words etc. A company called Toca Boca and another called Dr Panda make nice toddler game apps too: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/i-see-ewe-preschooler-word/id298640012?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/i-see-ewe-preschooler-word/i... I don't have much faith in the (esp. autonomous) educational value of any of these apps, but we have gotten pretty good results learning how to sit at the kitchen table and do kindergarten homework, activities, board games etc.
