Sponsored Post: Announcing Snapdragon Stadium
This post brought to you by Snapdragon by Qualcomm. All opinions are 100% mine. I found this quite interesting... Chip-manufacturer Qualcomm bought the naming rights to what was Jack Murphy Stadium, where the NFL Chargers and San Diego State football teams play, in 1997 for a period of 20 y...
Gube is awesome! There is another youtube app for kids that I tried that was awful, so I was a bit skeptical initially. I got it on sale, and am glad I did. There are educational videos and some popular kids cartoons- I even found some kids videos in Portuguese, which I also speak, so that was fun to see!

I don't think I'll be able to access the videos at my school sites either, as youtube is always blocked, but if I can, I will report back to you. This is great to keep my kids busy when I need quiet for a little bit.

Thanks for the in-depth review. I think it's a big improvement with the in-app purchases gone. I can use this app to assess what animals are in a student's receptive vocabulary. Perhaps a Fuller version could feature more interactivity and a feature in the settings for labeling the animals. I like the crisp uncluttered graphics and the voice.
