This is an area I've spent a lot of time researching and trying to find good solutions in over the last 6 or so years. I agree, the kids app space is by-and-large awful because of the the economics apps have nowadays. Here is a pretty decent list that should provide enough entertainment to last your kid(s) until the age where they can handle regular games: - The Endless Alphabet/Endless Reader/etc. series of games. - Toca Life games and other games by Toca Boca - Lego Juniors for toddlers, Lego Harry Potter/Star Wars/etc. for 4+ year olds - The My PlayHome apps mentioned in another comment - PBS Kids Games app - Elmo Loves ABCs There are also ad-free apps that come with a bunch of games and have a monthly subscription fee. I generally avoid these because I wouldn't pay $80/yr for a full AAA game, let alone a collection of Flash-like games, but if that's what it takes for the company to be sustainable without resorting to shady tactics who am I to judge. One I recommend in this space is Starfall.
