Do you, by any chance, remember when people bought iPods for listening to music? The sole purpose of this innovative Apple device was to download, transport and rock out to your favorite tunes. It was a simpler time. Now, we have iPhones, iPads, iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPod Classic, iPod Shuffle…The list goes on, but one of the hallmark qualities of all of these devices is their ability to grant us access to that great equalizer: music. Whether you’re 3 or 93, there’s an app out there that can help bring music to life on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. Get ready to rock.

There is no doubt that the technology of the iPhone is fun and engaging no matter what age group you fall in. As adults, we enjoy the capabilities the iPhone presents us when we are at work and play. We can create, edit and send documents. We can email, chat, or surf the web while we are engaged in a conversation. But what we like most as adults is the opportunity that we can sit down on a free afternoon after work and play Angry Birds for hours. Forgetting about us for a moment, the iPhone brings a level of excitement for our children as well. This is especially true when we engage them in educational games and applications to enhance their learning while having fun simultaneously. Here are our reviews for free educational apps for kids on the iPhone.

This app plays melodies with dog barking sounds. You can choose from 12 popular melodies such as Mary had a Little Lamb, Auld Lang Syne and others, shake the phone and watch the puppies barking it, then try to repeat by tapping on the dogs. All the melodies used in the game are in Pentatonic scale which is pretty cool. Entertaining particularly for little kids.

On side note, our little dog has actually seemed very interested in listening the songs but I am not sure if it would encourage him to bark even more.  

Video demo is below and you can find the app and more reviews here.
