I needed to make a decision about the best apps to install on my iPad for my son to play and learn with. I was so confused until I found the Seal of Approval reviews which I know are based on evaluations written parents just like me. Knowing that I felt comfortable heading over to the iTunes store and downloading the apps.

I literally never go toy shopping without checking your Seal of Approval reviews first. It is such a good feeling knowing that the award and the advice comes directly from parents like me.
Thank you!
