Music Color, Sound Touch, Video Touch – perfect toddlers apps
iPad, iPhone, Android & Kindle fire | apps for toddlers
We’re now introducing you to a remarkable kids app collection by SoundTouch Interactive, who have successfully specialized on flashcard apps for toddlers. The concept of this app is simple as it is awesome, educational and perfectly suitable for toddlers and touch-starters.
For all systems (iPad, iPhone, Android & Kindle fire)
Almost all SoundTouch apps are available for all systems, what we find pretty laudable. Only our favorite “Music Color”, is unfortunately only available for iOS at the moment, but will be available for Android soon.
★ Our Favorites
Before we start to introduce the apps to you individually, we want to tell you our two favorite ones out of them all:
* Sound Touch 1 (iOS, Android, Kindle fire)
* Music Color (only iOS at the moment)
Even if we would like to recommend all apps out of this overview to you without any exceptions, we especially count these two apps to the best apps for toddlers and reward them with our “Editor’s Choice award”.
1. Sound Touch 1 – The Classic
Over 500.000+ downloads make Sound Touch a toddlers app classic. The app includes 372 pictures, which have all been provided with sounds. From a simple menu, kids can pick a topic and then a group of photos such as the topic “pets” and the sub-category “cats”. How all of this looks in action, you can check out in our video trailer below, where we’re also having a look at the app Sound Touch 2, which we’re going to introduce to you next.
Topics of the Sound Touch 1 app: Farm animals, Wild animals, birds, vehicles, musical instruments and household items.

2. Sound Touch 2 – New
The latest app out of the series proceeds with the first app classic Sound Touch 1 content-wise. There may be a new animal category in this app with more animals, however the main topics are nature & weather, human sounds and professions. The more specific topics are really a great addition to the first part, but we would however, start with Sound Touch 1, which has less specific topics.
Here’s a quick glance at the human sounds category: kids can find pictures of laughing, crying, sleeping and singing humans, of course with the matching background noises and sounds.
Pictures of severe weather (Tornados) and volcanic eruptions or bush fires are shown in the category “nature & weather”. As we’ve mentioned already: A very specific selection of highly interesting pictures, but perhaps not for everyone’s taste.

3. Music Color – Our favorite
Our big favorite kind of jumps out of line with it’s beautiful details out of this kids app series. All pictures have been sorted by colors and only in next step they’ve been sorted by topics. That way, kids choose a color first and whichever category they pick afterwards, they’ll only find pictures which have the image shown in the selected color. The other special feature of this app is the classical music, in which the whole app is being presented with. With each color change, a new song is being played, whereby the app includes 40 songs.
The combination of colors, music and matching photos is unique and fantastic. Unfortunately the app is only available for iOS but will be available for Android soon.

4. Video Touch – Animals
All Video Touch apps offer 48 HD video clips of various topics each. In this app, we have the topic pets and farm animals such as: dogs, cats, horses and cows etc. All Video Touch apps also offer more than one video clip of each animal, which is pretty cool.

5. Video Touch – Wildlife
We have asked the kids in our team, which Video Touch app they like the most and they definitely like the “Wildlife” edition the most. In this app you’ll find elephants, giraffes, wolves and monkeys. Tip: If you don’t like snakes, you can deactivate those in the external settings of the app (device settings!)

6. Video Touch – Birds
This Video Touch app also offers animal videos, this time however, of various birds. By the way, the different Video Touch apps connect with each other, what we find really good. If you’ve bought more than one Video touch app, kids can get to the other apps content without having to switch or leave the app as such. You’ll see the app symbols at the bottom of the screen as a black bar with white icons, where kids can select the app from.

7. Video Touch – Vehicles
This Video Touch app is perfect for little vehicle fans. Various vehicles are presented whilst in action, i.e. airplanes that are taking off and excavators at a construction site – but even cosy Horse carriages that you only see rarely these days, can be seen in this app. With this app, kids will be occupied and entertained for quite a long time, whilst watching 48 video clips.

8. Video Touch – Music
This Music Video Touch app offers many beautiful tunes and sounds, where musicians introduce their musical instruments to children. The content provides a wonderful change from the other animals apps.

Important settings
You should really take a look at the settings after you’ve installed the app. Those are not inside the app, but due to child-protection, available via device settings. There you can customize the app to your needs, e.g:
• language
• show names of objects
• hide snakes and crocodiles
• adjust controller
Our Conclusion:
You should at least have one of those apps on your tablet or smartphone, if you’re a family with toddlers.
