Best Free iPhone Baby Apps

4 Feb

Look Baby!

OK – many may wonder what the heck an iPhone could offer a baby? But it is truly amazing to see the Apps that have been developed for those too young to actually own an iPhone. While we were researching for two recent posts on apps for kids (free iPhone children’s stories and more free iPhone kids stories, we took a look at the App store.

We found a fantastic selection of top rated free Apps for parents with little ones up to pre-school age. We also found a LOT of very low rated apps! In fact it is clear that parents are quite selective about the quality of kiddie Apps they are prepared to let their little ones play with.

But first up, there were six great free pre-school apps, most with 3.5 star ratings or better (there were a lot more apps for babies and pre-schoolers but they were just canned by raters – often scoring 2 stars or less:

Peekaboo Barn Lite

Baby Animals Lite - An Encyclopedia Game

We just have to put the Peekaboo Barn Lite up first because it has been downloaded by over 8000 people and still has a 3.5 star rating!But wait – there’s more … great baby apps with this high rating. Baby Animals Lite provides facts about 90 baby animals using over 400 high quality photos for name and photo quizzes for toddlers. Look Baby! provides a stack of delightful images to calm babies and distract babies – and judging by its high ratings – it works! The last one of the freebies with a 3.5 star rating is the creative Baby Piano Lite:

The Piano app gets some pretty good comments as well:

 My baby loves it!! 

and

  I have toddlers, a three year old and a set of twins. My kids love this application.

 Just the graphics for these kiddie apps are impressive.

Two other apps we though worth a mention – as they are free and still get a 3-star rating: baby rattle bab bab lite and Baby Flash Cards.
