Apps for Kids 023: Geared

Click here to play episode. Apps for Kids is Boing Boing's podcast about cool smartphone apps for kids and parents. My co-host is my 9-year-old daughter, Jane Frauenfelder.

In this week's episode Jane's older sister Sarina tells us about Geared, a puzzle game where you have to connect gears together. It's free in the iTunes Store, and as an Android app.

We also talk about other games, including Gears, Anticlon, and PrestoBingo Shapes.

Our family likes Geared, too. My youngest started playing it at 8, I believe, although if it had been available to us sooner I’m sure she could have played it at 7. I think even some 6 year olds with good hand coordination could handle it.
