Loopimal is a sweet-natured music composition tool for kids of all ages. Beguiling, entertaining, intuitive and packed full of charming animations and beautiful audio.

A LEGO adventure game that kids can play socially with thousands of players online. Build a team of cool lego minifigures and go on exciting quests with your friends. Refreshingly, the app ditches the freemium gaming model in favor of a one-time fee for each world, with no microtransactions or confusing in-game currency for parents to worry about.

An excellent image-editing app that’s perfectly suited to mobile use, with powerful features and an interface that’s easy to get to grips with. For the casual photo editor, it’s overkill – but for detailed edits, the app is a must-have.
