Parents are calling this app “the only screen time I don’t feel bad about”

Parenting is always an unexpected ride. But one challenge Millennial parents had the special pleasure of experiencing first? Struggles with screen time. And while the research is ever-evolving (and sometimes even indicating there are positives to screen time!), one thing that always helps ease the guilt associated with handing our child a tablet is knowing that what they’re viewing comes with a healthy dose of beneficial content.

Lingokids has heard our cries for a better screen time. In answer, they’ve created an immersive, easy-to-navigate, play-based learning app for children that promotes safe and healthy screen-time. With over 160 million downloads, 30+ industry awards, and a curriculum rich with over 3,000 interactive activities designed by early childhood experts, it’s no wonder that it’s now the #1 interactive app for children under 8.

Need a little more convincing? Here are five reasons why our family can’t get enough of Lingokids.

#1: Lingokids is ad-free and truly safe for young children.

Are you really a parent if you don’t know the struggle of trying to let your child watch a video or play a game…only to have it derailed every five seconds when they accidentally tap a pop-up ad? (Just my house? Hmm?) Not only has Lingokids banned those pesky and often problematic ads, they also guarantee a 100% secure digital environment for children certified by kidSAFE and astroSAFE and following the COPPA rule. Because we all know screen time is only relaxing for you if you don’t have to stress about your child’s safety.

#2: It’s actually educational―and the research proves it.

Listen, we know there are swaths of apps out there promising educational benefits. But time and time again, when they’re actually put to the test, science tends to debunk their academic claims. Not so with Lingokids. Not only was their vast curriculum of activities created in collaboration with the Oxford University Press and a host of early childhood learning experts, but in a recent eight-week efficacy study with preschool-aged children, the findings showed that children using Lingokids improved their math, literacy, and socio-emotional learning skills by up to 9%. And the Lingokids Plus subscription was found to be twice as effective in preparing preschoolers compared to the free version. (Ummm…where do we download??)

#3: Lingokids works with incredible partners to create content your child will actually want to learn about.

Is your kid obsessed with outer space? As part of a constantly evolving educational program, Lingokids recently teamed up with NASA to create new Space Lessons, introducing children to the fundamental concepts of astronomy, planetary science, and even space exploration. For even younger learners, they’ve teamed up with Blippi and Friends to introduce tens of exclusive new games to teach vocabulary, logic, creativity, emotional intelligence, and movement-based learning, with even more additional content on the roadmap to release later in 2025.

#4: It provides diverse educational offerings, including content for neurodivergent learners.

The activities within Lingokids cover a wide breadth of topics, ranging from literacy, STEM, physical activity, daily habits and life skills, and so much more. But the best part? To your child, it will just feel like play. Which is also why the app can work so well for different learning styles, including those with autism, ADHD, dyscalculia, and dyslexia. 

#5: They’re continually improving and adjusting their offering to provide a guilt-free screen-time experience.

According to the latest survey conducted by Lingokids, more than 74% of American parents admit to feeling guilty about their child’s screen time use, regardless of the need for it and its potential benefits. We’ll probably never be done improving screen time for children, and that’s why we love how proactive Lingokids is in addressing that. Their content is continuously updated and reviewed by the Lingokids Education Board with the goal of ensuring a top-tier learning experience, and they’re regularly adding to their experience with podcasts, games, and music designed for children. Because screen time should be a tool for families when necessary, without any unnecessary guilt.
