Mini-U: Mosaic is a vibrant and colorful entertainment app that will help your child work on their motor skills. Choose between small (9x9) and large (18x18) pin boards. Then select a pattern or image you want to recreate with your child and get to work. A thumbnail of the pattern or image is always readily available on the left side of the screen. Tap a pin on the right side to choose a matching color, and tap on open holes on the board to place the pins. You’re able to get a preview of what the board should look like by tapping on the thumbnail, or you can leave an overlay on the board for even more help. Finished patterns and images can be saved to your iPad’s library. The app includes freehand modes, the ability to upload patterns for others to download, and 23 built-in patterns and images.

Metadata provides an easy way for photographers to extract metadata from photos. You’re able to choose any photo from your camera roll or iCloud Drive. Information like the photo’s dimensions, DPI, size, location, time, altitude, device info, and even weather will be neatly displayed across multiple cards. All of this information can be shared with just a tap.

4th Grade Reading Prep is one of the most advanced reading comprehension tools available in the App Store. It features an assortment of fictional stories and non-fiction texts that can be read through at any pace. At the end of each passage your child will be asked a series of questions to find out how well they understood what they read. The results can be reviewed and shared via email. The app also includes support for multiple children or students, and password protection.
