With our kids now learning remotely amid the pandemic, learning apps have become crucial. Even though internet penetration in Kenya is at 43% in 2020, a vast majority of Kenyans are still not connected to the world wide web through Wifi but rather are purchasing daily data.
If you're looking for fun and educational apps to keep the kids occupied without having to worry about the cost of accessing the internet, here are 5 offline apps that are free to use once downloaded. They are compatible with IOS and Android platforms.
