Children: New category in the App Store

children

It seems that the staff who work the Apple, read our iPad News blog. On September 11, I published an article in which, after searching and searching as best you could in the App Store as there was no category, I found to my understanding The 7 best apps for children in the house.

After official release of iOS 7 Two days ago, Apple officially opened the new category where you can find applications for children. The new category is called Children (it could not be otherwise).

When you access this section, you can filter the results according to age: children under 5 years old, 6 to 8 years old and 9 to 11 years old. The creation of this new category is intended to facilitate the process of finding apps and games classified by age (just what I said in my article for apps for children).

The category is supervised by the apple publishers, which according to company guidelines, classify applications according to the ages for which they are intended. When you access this section, at the top you will see several promoted applications. If you continue down you will find the classification of the apps by age.

Apple started requesting information to app developers information about their games and apps last summer, and after passing the Apple filter, classify them according to age.

Apart from the age classification, Apple has created various groups In which he has classified the applications as follows: Create while playing, Explore the world, Shapes and colors, First numbers and words, Interactive stories for children, Learn while having fun and Music apps. These groups are located on the right side of the screen.

Devices created by Apple are designed to that the public learn its handling quickly. This feature means that young audiences, teachers and parents have no problem using Apple iDevices to entertain and enjoy with children.

Leaving the iDevices to our children, especially if they are young, is a terrifying experience (I say this from experience). Not only because of the launch that the device can suffer, but also because the first thing they see is the start button and since it is the only one that “moves” they can spend the whole day pressing it instead of paying attention to the screen. To lock the iPad / iPhone And that your child is not constantly leaving the application, you must go to Settings, General, Accessibility, Guided Access and activate it. Then establish a code so that when you press 3 times in a row, the code will jump to unlock the iPad / iPhone once the kids have finished playing.
