• Pirate Scribblebeard android app review : Android education apps at AndroidAppLog | Android app reviews android game reviews smartphone news and app ratings

  This android app is basically the new coloring book. I would rather there be other deeper uses, however, kids do like to color. The one point of this app is the "share with parents" feature - I think the apps we use should all have share with parents and share with teachers and that on many of the apps, it should be seamless and just happen without our intervention.
  
  
  Parents can set up their details like name, email and kids name which will bring them the screenshots of activities their kids complete within the app when pressing the ‘share with parent’ button. Their creative art can also be saved to photo gallery or even better printed as a wallpaper or a calendar for your house. This way you can keep the wonderful memories of your kids to decorate their room as well.
