Dr. Panda is another great line of apps. What our kids enjoy the most is Dr. Panda's Restaurant 2. The kids interactively cook (cutting, frying, pouring) to assemble a dish for their guests to eat. The guests react to the food, provide a tip and then the kids clean up the dishes do a new order.
Endless Alphabet app was the second app our kids started with. It's prompts understanding of basic reading making sounds with letters into words in a fun way.
Instead of buying individual apps from the Sago series, you can subscribe for $4.99/month to the Sago mini World app. It's great value and every game is interactive, cute and fun for the kids.
Once your kids get their fill of Endless Alphabet, consider getting the Endless Reader app. This is a little bit more advanced, but just as fun.
Kids
The age range I'm setting here is for kids 6 to 10. Kids should be able to start basic reading to pick up on these apps.

My son's favourite game is Mine Craft. It was an accidental install actually and I have no idea how to play it. At 6 years old the grandparents installed it, and he learned to play on his own. One day he showed me all the things he built and it blew me away.I'd say the hype is well deserved. Very open ended and encourages lots of thinking and imagination.
