Detective Curiosity
Read full descriptionHide full description
Detective Curiosity is a safe and effective way to develop a child. The application is based on the author's teaching methodology for children from cognitive development specialist Maria Mitrofanova. Detective Curiosity: 1. Effective formula: Cognitive facts presented in an accessible form, and to maintain motivation for learning, thematic games are integrated, which in themselves are developing and train attention, memory, thinking and imagination. 2. No ads: The child will be immersed in the continuous learning process and will not be distracted by advertising. 3. No in-app purchases: We follow ethics and understand that apps for children should be safe. Where does bread come from? About 140 tons of bread are eaten every year in the world. Bread is a popular product all over the world. And a child who sees this product every day probably wonders: "Where does bread come from?". Detective Curiosity comes to the aid of the young researchers. In our application you will get acquainted with the bread production process. All the material is presented sequentially, so the child learns a model of consistent thinking. And a variety of thematic tasks support the child's involvement in the learning process, reduce fatigue from learning new information and help them remember it better.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Inventioneers at Free against Detective Curiosity's $0.99. Inventioneers also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). Detective Curiosity's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On ads there is nothing between them.
