From Word of Mouth Blog Post on Food Apps for Kids
Its poll of 2,200 parents in the UK and the US revealed they download an average 27 apps a year for their children – more than one a fortnight. According to Ofcom (PDF), 28% of five- to 15-year-olds own a smartphone and 14% use a tablet, while a separate international study claims almost twice as many pre-schoolers can use a smartphone app (26%) as tie their shoelaces (11%). No wonder it’s boom time for kiddie app developers.
