LeapFrog LeapPad Academy

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.

This leapfrog leap pad does what it should. Long lasting battery life= long lasting fun and learning. It was very easy to set up. Parent control. It has decent amount of storage. My 4 year old son loves it. It has different apps and also demos. You have the option to buy games on the leapfrog app store. Also you can purchase leapfrog academy for $30 a year. Definitely worth it as it teaches your child from pre-k to grade 12. You can set what school level there at and it shows what games they can play. Pre-k games are like matching colors and shapes, counting, tracing letters and ect. They also can watch videos. More fun for a visual learner with counting it shows the numbers while they count. It has perfect brightness and sound. It is freeze resistant depending on the wifi connection. It's just as described. It doesn't come with headphones. Also it doesn't have Bluetooth. But I recommend it has a lot for the price. Definitely worth it for learning fun and definitely worth buying the leapfrog academy. You and your child will love it, You won't be disappointed 😍

My daughter loves it so much, it helps with entertaining her at Dr's. Appointment or just a quick store run. It's been very inspiring to her, she's been singing along with the alphabet songs it provides. If she forgets it on its glitches and freezes but thankfully the manual came with information when that happens. It has a reset button for when it freezes. It was easy to set up. I love the color. And the sound is very good for a child's tablet.

My 4 yo granddaughter was over the moon when she opened her Christmas gift! She loves playing with and learning from it!

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

Love this item! Love how personalized you can make it and my 3 year old loves it! Reasons for 4 stars and not 5 is the battery life is ok, but needs charged after several hours. Got it for long car rides to visit family a few times a year and need to charge it before the car ride home. Also, since my daughter is 3, she doesn’t hard power it down when she’s done with it and that seems to drain the battery if not used for a while. Other reason would be that yes, it’s made for learning, and yes, she maybe does learn a little bit, but not sure how much actual learning she’s getting from it instead of just playing around. Not a whole lot of games without a subscription. Expensive product for just a handful of learning games unless you want to pay an expensive subscription for a plethora of games. Has given hours of distraction on car rides and definitely love the product. Kind of expensive but I got it on a Black Friday sale when it was 50 percent off and that felt more worth it to me. Do wish it had more game options without a subscription.

It is nice that the tablet has limited access so the kids cannot access internet (unless approved by parents) websites or install the programs themselves. The tablet survived several drops and works fine. Looks rigid. There are some games pre-installed but not many. The biggest disadvantage: apps are pretty expensive and are limited in number. What I am afraid of that LeapFrog can stop supporting for the tablet and you will not be able to install new apps.

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.

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
