Not too long ago, we profiled an app called Numbers 10 for Android. It is an app that was created by Five Pumpkins, a digital company involved in creating early childhood education apps that we love. Numbers 10 is intended for children that are at least a year old, but if your child is two years old or alternatively has already polished that app off, you can give them the advanced version of the app which is Numbers 50 App for Android.

Putting the education pedal to the metal

Numbers 50 is a supercharged version of Numbers 10 and this is true in more ways than one. The most obvious difference between the two apps is that the flashcards in this app will teach your child to count to 50 instead of just to 10. There is an obvious difference in difficulty level between the two for this reason, but there is so much more than can be done with this app as well which is why it is more than just an age difference that is required here.

A good example of a difference between the two apps is the fact that children will have the chance not only to place out of order numbers back in order, but they will also learn all of the written and spoken elements to the numbers so that they should be able to order, read and write all of the numbers from 1 to 50 by the time they are done with this app. This is somewhat more intensive than Numbers 10 and that is why Five Pumpkins asks that children be 2 years old or already have completed Numbers 10 before they tackle Numbers 50.

Quiz Mode still there

Don’t worry about missing out on the quizzes from Numbers 10 for the Android as you’ll find all those quizzes are right there with Numbers 50 app for Android as well. Quiz Mode is alive and well and even though your child might be older and likely won’t accidentally trigger a call, the lock mode is still there with quizzes in this app to make absolutely sure that it does not happen.

Final Score

Advanced early childhood education such as counting to 50 is something that all children have to learn. The earlier, the better. Numbers 50 Android app can help you get that done and that’s why we’ve given it a final score of 10 out of 10.

Some of the best educational apps available for the Android are ones that are not really that flashy and don’t accomplish that much, but which nevertheless are extremely useful to have at your side. An example of this is the Scientific Calculator app for Android, something that is free to download and highly functional.

Quick calculations no matter what you need calculated

Many scientific calculators that attempt to take the place of handheld calculators fall short because the calculation speed slows down the more complicated the actual equation happens to be. This is not the case with this Scientific Calculator Android app. No matter how complicated your equation happens to be, the calculator will return the result with the same speed that you would get from a handheld device.

Easy to put arguments together

Another reason that computerized scientific calculator emulation tools have fallen short of their handheld electronic counterparts is that they don’t really have an easy input system. A mouse is nowhere near as good as an entry pad and therein is the problem. However, this one is basically just a scientific calculator skin put over your Android smart phone. You have basically the same interface as your normal handheld calculator and you don’t have to carry two things around to get it.

Full range of functions available

One final problem for using the scientific calculator on the Android is that it gives you the full range of functions. Many other scientific calculators fell short because they didn’t have the full range of functions, but this is not at all a problem for this particular app. In fact, it might actually be a strength of it since you can do everything on this app that you could do with your handheld scientific calculator and the display is more efficient and user friendly than most of them turned out to be.
Final Score

Overall, the Scientific Calculator app for Android is not flashy or over the top, but it definitely does incorporate some important elements into the overall design. It is ultra-functional and useful in an easy-to-see way and that certainly does give it some points. The final score of 8 out of 10 is not necessarily because it is lacking in any elements, but more so because of the fact that other mobile apps were reviewed on this site that were just as good but also a lot more intricate in their overall design.

State Capitals is a handy app created by Eric Burke is just one example of the many different flashcard type programs that have been created for this interface. Whether this interface just seems suited to them or whether some other force is at work is unknown, but the Android interface is much better than flashcards as this app illustrates.

Learn the Capitals of All 50 States

Learning the capitals of the states within the United States is not as easy as you might think. More often than not, the obvious answer is the wrong answer and in many cases the top two or even the two three obvious answers are all wrong and there is some other city that actually turns out to be the capital. Cities like New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Seattle and Miami are all not state capitals, so learning which cities are state capitals is certainly something that you can brag about at a later date.

Mark Certain Cards As Known

Eventually, you’re going to be confident that you know the capital for a particular state. Well, a simple long tap on your phone will mark that capital with a checkmark and allow you to put that one aside while you learn the capitals of the remaining states. In this way, you can slowly and systematically work your way through the deck in a way that will allow you to remember all of the state capitals for a long period of time after you’ve stopped studying.

Quiz Yourself After Learning

Two of the options are great for quizzing yourself using the State Capitals mobile app for the Android system. The first is the shuffle option which shuffles the deck and allows you to draw cards that you can then answer. Tap the card to check your answer on the back and then sort the deck to get a new feel for the states and see if once again your skills at learning the capitals have allowed you to know what those capitals are no matter what order they’re tossed at you in.

Final Score

State Capitals Android App allows you to know the 50 capitals, go at your own pace and it also never forgets where you left off if you turn it off and then back on. It is great like that and even though it is simple software, we’ve given State Capitals App for Android a final score of 8.5 out of 10.
