Before I go into details, there's big news!
I've designed a Coolmath-Games Mobile site!
See the link on the upper right of this and every other page? Grab your favorite mobile device and check it out! There, you can learn all about how to use our games on your iPad, Droid and Kindle Fire.

Now, the the details.

I've gotten a lot of emails from kids, parents and teachers about iPads and our games at Coolmath-Games.com with the problem being that they cannot play our games (or anyone else's) on them.

Most online games are created with a program called Flash. iPads and iPod Touches cannot read Flash. Same with Droid smartphones and tablets.

There is good news though!

On December 16th (2011), iSWiFTER released a browser for the iPod and iPod 2 called Rover. You can download this for free at the iTunes store and it will allow you to play over 130 of our Coolmath Games! They don't have Rover for the iPhone and iPod Touch (yet) and there's not a browser that I'm comfortable in recommending for this. There IS something that works alright, but you'll need to find it on your own.

With Droid smart phones and tablets, you can download a Flash app at the Droid market to play over 130 of our Coolmath Games! (Note that the Flash company, Adobe, is going to discontinue supporting this program for mobile devices, but the current version should work just fine until another solution comes along.)

If you have a Kindle Fire, you are all ready to go to play over 130 of our Coolmath Games!

Notice that I keep saying "over 130 of our Coolmath Games!" What do I mean by this? Coolmath-Games has WAY more than 200 games and, then there are the cool jigsaw puzzles. Well, it all depends on the controls on the game. For example, if the game is controlled by mouse movements, you will be able to use your finger on the tablet to do that. If the game needs keyboard input (like the arrow keys), then it won't work. We're totally out of luck on the puzzles since they a Java and not Flash and not mobile devices to Java (yet.)

Also, ALL of our Coolmath lessons have been designed to be readable on all smart phones and tablets! So, you will never have to buy an app to learn cool math!

As for apps, please keep in mind that the apps you download for kids will either have ads (that probably are not screened) or you will have to pay. I have yet to find a mobile ad agency that allows the app owner to preview ads that are going to run and it's really easy to accidentally click on the ads while you are playing. So, be careful!
