Comment on Parents Sue Gaming Companies Over ‘Video Game Addiction’, Because That’s Easier Than Parenting

In all seriousness, PBS kids apps on mobile go hard, work on any device, and are fairly educational while being easy to use and fun enough to hold attention while being completely FREE.
We’ve paid for ABC mouse but the whole fuckin thing reeks of slot machine pokie stimulus while the puzzles and games crash often. The only thing that 100% works all the time is the store to exchange your “tickets”
Abc mouse is the highest rated most teacher recommended app and it’s fucking awful.
My 3 year old has gotten way more out of free software than any pay software that’s littered with addictive BS.
I would recommend: GCompris Khan academy kids Learn to read Duolingo ABC PBS anything

Two things.
First, teenagers are also children, and every product that you describe would not fit them, those are more for a very young.
Second, we’re talking about designing the game in such a way that it provokes the brain in the same way a drug would, in essence being a drug itself.
