Fit Brains for Kids: Sparky's Adventure app review: kids learn while having fun

Introduction

The Fit Brains apps have been around for quite awhile but they have a new addition to the family in Fit Brains for Kids: Sparky's Adventure, an app geared for children two to eight years of age. The aim of Sparky's Adventure is to develop cognitive thinking through fun and entertaining games that target the five major areas of the brain.

Fit Brains was designed by Dr. Paul Nussbaum, an award winning neuroscientist, and finally they are bringing this new title aimed at young child development. 

Learning Can be Fun

As soon as this app is launched the fun factor is immediately apparent. Sparky the turtle leads players through easy and fun games. Kids will definitely not even realize that they are learning; they'll be encompassed with the tasks that Sparky gives them and trying to earn that elusive power-up at the end of every third level.

The graphics, sound, and interface are excellent. It feels more like an interactive cartoon than an app which seeks to stimulate your brain. The tasks are relatively simple from which shape is larger, to which shadow matches this animal, to where does an airplane belong? If you get the question wrong, you aren't scolded or shown the answer; instead, you are given an infinite amount of chances to get the question right.

Every time you launch Fit Brains for Kids: Sparky's Adventure you have the choice of starting a new game, or you can tap the My Playground button on the bottom right to resume your last session.

 

Tracking Your Child's Progress

The really great thing about Fit Brains for Kids: Sparky's Adventure is not only is it fun and educational, but parents can also track their child's progress. After each session your child plays Sparky's Adventure, the parent will receive an email showing their child's results and which areas may require help.

When you first open Sparky's Adventure parents are prompted to input their email address so the results can be sent to them. If your child wishes to start playing right away, you can input your email later and all of the session results will be sent to your email account.

The other option is to select the Parents Corner button on the title screen. This allows you to understand the science of how the app works in addition to tracking your child's performance. You can also purchase upgrades as your child grows and gets better at the tasks provided.
