The Smart Apps staff have been huge fans of the BrainPOP apps since the beginning. BrainPOP offers a huge assortment of short animated videos on a large number of topics. The videos are very nicely done, don't feel "school-boring" and offer a great deal of educational value. There are now four different FREE apps available for Android, so to make it easier for you, I have included them all in this handy post!
Do you also have an Apple device? We have a list of BrianPOP apps on our sister site, Smart Apps for Kids.
***Please note, these apps do contain in-app purchases, but they can easily be disabled in the settings of your device.
