Lingokids aims to improve many aspects of learning. This ranges from academic learning of subjects such as maths and science to life skills such as global awareness and people skills. The learning is through a wide variety of different medias, such as instructional ‘teacher-led’ videos to videos to sing along to.

LINGOKIDS is a very well designed learning app for children that covers a number of different learning areas. These range from reading, science and maths through to science, technology and the arts. In total there are over 1200 learning activities within the app and more than 650 objectives. The app also aims are not just about improving the academic abilities of its users but also includes life skills as part of its learning. These include topics such as wellbeing, global awareness and people skills, as well as many others.

Using a range of activities users access the learning within the app through several different ways. Once they have chosen the topic they wish focus on they may be signing, reading or playing games. Some of the learning is also driven through a presentation of facts via short videos or presented by an adult or teacher.

Upon opening the app, users are asked to setup the account for their child, whether this be as an educator or a parent. In setting up an account it allows for the user to be able to track the progress that is being made by the child. This can be accessed via the parent area where progress reports and be seen as well as being able to browse curriculum topics. There is also a very useful tips and community forum area to help users to maximise the learning.

Once an account has been setup the main screen allows the user to see all of ‘Today’s Adventures. This is a selection of top topics that the user might wish to select and changes daily. This screen also has a what’s new section as well as daily activities such as maths and reading for the user to access. All the menus and functionality are very clear and distinct meaning that it is easy to navigate through the app.

If a user wishes they can bypass this list and head straight for a list of all the categories within the app. This is especially useful if you wish to focus on one area such as reading or maths whereas the ‘daily’ front page is more for looking to dip in and out of the learning and maybe discover new things.
