LeapFrog LeapPad Academy Kids’ Learning Tablet, Green

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.

I gifted this to a three year-old boy.LOVES it. He is learning his letters and numbers. A much better choice than an iPad. It has an academy that offers new choices as your kids grow. Great screen size. Excellent to take in the car, use at home and keep your little one busy

Great way for children to learn with great games!

My son has a speech delay and we ordered for his 3rd birthday. He has several other leapfrog learning tablets and they've helped him progress so much!

I had it for over a year now and it has pros and cons. The device itself is cheap, I had to return the first one because it quickly had issues with charger port. I was gracious for amazon replacing it so I got the warranty for the second one, which I recommend because I had to exchange it again because it just suddenly would not hold a charge. Also it will freeze semi frequently, kids always panic lol. So far a restart fixes it. Positives is that the kids really love the games they are expensive, and almost no games are included with set up. The cheapest games are 10$ and go to 25$ and they offer bundles of like 4 games for 20-30$ but never the good games are included. They have sales on major holidays so that helps save money. The device and its games really are fun and educational. They make learning easy and fun, it's a great way to distract you kids and know the content is safe. I dislike that leap pad pushes the heck out of there popular games with ads so kids are never content and always wanting more more more... I also dislike that the main learning game ''Academy'' is a yearly subscription on 40.$$$ which I bought for my 3 and 4 year old and they almost never used. Now it's expired they are 4 and 5 now and love it. I DO like that you can use the academy game on your cell phone as well as the device and it syncs your progress. I really dislike that it requires sooooo much money to get a good group of games. The description of the games on the web page are terrible and there are no refunds if you download a game you don't like. I wanted to give 3 stars because the device is cheap, I got over 200$ invested in just games and then it stops working... exhausting and disappointing. I gave it 4 stars because the kids really love it and DO get a lot out of it. I recommend buying the warranty!

just know there is monthly fee if you want to use certain functions

I’m extremely disappointed with this purchase. We received the LeapFrog Academy as a Christmas gift for our child, and unfortunately, we were never able to actually use it. It only turned on once during the initial setup. After that, it completely stopped working and will not turn on again. We made sure it was fully charged and followed the basic instructions, but nothing worked. For how pricey this product is, it’s very frustrating and disappointing. It was especially upsetting having to tell the family member who gifted it to us that we never got to use it and that it doesn’t work at all. This was meant to be a special gift, and it ended up being a complete letdown. Unfortunately I would not recommend this product based on our experience. Poor durability, screen quality, poor quality

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.

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.

It works perfect. Was ready to start up and register when you open the box. It's got a beautiful case and lots of activities for your child to grow

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
