LeapFrog LeapPad Academy

Update: Started glitching like crazy right before our return window closed. Unfortunately, we returned it. Prior to the Leap Pad, we had a kids kindle 7. Compared the kindle, the Leap Pad has way more parental controls. This is a plus for me. The kids kindle unlimited content was showing my kid all kinds of stuff despite me explicitly blocking certain key words. The Leap Pad will allow your child to use Leap Search which connects to the internet. You can pre approve websites in the parental controls and even block certain areas of a website. I approved Outschool, PBS Kids, Lalilo, Explorify, etc. If you approve Outschool you also have to approve Zoom and log in. The only downside of the leap pad is that you cannot add “normal” apps. You can only buy apps through the Leap Frog store. They are priced similarly to what a game cartridge would be for the old Leapsters. You can also buy shows like Octonauts and RescueBots for the about the same price as a DVD. Or you can pre approve Netflix on Leap Search. The stylus on this is awesome when playing games, especially Leap Frog Academy. (The LF Academy is similar to ABC Mouse, it is not the equivalent of Amazon Kids Unlimited.) The built in stand is a bonus. The battery is garbage, it lasts about an hour fully charged. Bottom line, if you’re looking for an inexpensive kids tablet that’s easy to lock down, this is it. Screen quality/graphics are actually clearer than the kindle 7.

This leapfrog leap pad does what it should. Long lasting battery life= long lasting fun and learning. It was very easy to set up. Parent control. It has decent amount of storage. My 4 year old son loves it. It has different apps and also demos. You have the option to buy games on the leapfrog app store. Also you can purchase leapfrog academy for $30 a year. Definitely worth it as it teaches your child from pre-k to grade 12. You can set what school level there at and it shows what games they can play. Pre-k games are like matching colors and shapes, counting, tracing letters and ect. They also can watch videos. More fun for a visual learner with counting it shows the numbers while they count. It has perfect brightness and sound. It is freeze resistant depending on the wifi connection. It's just as described. It doesn't come with headphones. Also it doesn't have Bluetooth. But I recommend it has a lot for the price. Definitely worth it for learning fun and definitely worth buying the leapfrog academy. You and your child will love it, You won't be disappointed 😍

My daughter loves it so much, it helps with entertaining her at Dr's. Appointment or just a quick store run. It's been very inspiring to her, she's been singing along with the alphabet songs it provides. If she forgets it on its glitches and freezes but thankfully the manual came with information when that happens. It has a reset button for when it freezes. It was easy to set up. I love the color. And the sound is very good for a child's tablet.

This was a gift for a little later on for my great nephew but I probably won’t be here to see him use it so I wanted to buy now because I won’t be here later. I thought it would be good for him to start learning on it and get used to it and grow into it and grow with it because there is so much that it does and it will last for so long and he can use for gaming and watching movies as well as using it for learning and it will advance as he does and that’s the nice thing about it, it goes at your child’s pace. It’s bright and attractive so it catches the eye and draws a child’s attention so they want to play with it because it’s colorful and it does so many things and different things. . It has great sound, apparently it’s freeze resistant, the size is good for kids and there are guards on the sides to protect it if it’s dropped, they were thinking of kids or me when they designed this. You can get cases for these too in assorted colors and styles. Now you can start when they’re young and let them get used to it because it works with them on their level and progresses with them so it sort of grows with them and adapts along with them. The features are pretty amazing. I bought one of these for my stepdaughter over 20 years ago and they have come a long way but they were still very impressive then and that’s why I bought this one for my nephew because they are a great learning tool.

It is nice that the tablet has limited access so the kids cannot access internet (unless approved by parents) websites or install the programs themselves. The tablet survived several drops and works fine. Looks rigid. There are some games pre-installed but not many. The biggest disadvantage: apps are pretty expensive and are limited in number. What I am afraid of that LeapFrog can stop supporting for the tablet and you will not be able to install new apps.

Den här måste varit begagnad eftersom användare redan fanns och med ett parent lock code som vi inte registrerat. Dålig stil att sälja dyra saker som redan använts.

Está tableta es lo peor que he comprado NOO la compren por qué solo duró 2 meces de uso! Dejo de funcionar ya no enciende

Overpriced tablet with very limited free content. Kids are constantly given demos, then asked to pay to unlock full apps.

Battery isn’t lasting longer than 1 hour and needs to be charged for over 12 hours to provide that 1 hour of charge. Very disappointed
