Lumin Baby is an interactive app meant primarily for babies and very young children. It focuses on providing entertainment and stimulation through lots of fun little interactions and touch, without the need for language. Kids are encouraged to simply try touching and poking at things to see what happens!
There are a wide range of available activities in the app, from interactive scenes, to games, and even musical instruments!
Originally I made Lumin Baby for my own daughter, as she was very restless when we tried to go out to restaurants, or anywhere where she had to sit and wait for a period of time. There were other apps available but most of them were focused on education of had lots of ads and purchases. I wanted something that was custom tailored to her interests, and was just focused on providing some fun things for her to interact with, without any ads.
Lumin Baby is available on the Google Play store for Android devices. It is free to try with some limitations, and can be fully unlocked for a small one-time fee. This may be subject to change depending on the amount of content added, but the plan for now is that the one time fee will also cover all future updates and content additions. No subscriptions or nickel-and-dime microtransactions!
While the app will work just fine on a normal Android phone, it really shines best if you have access to an Android tablet, and has been thoroughly tested to work even on many devices that are several years old.
