As a parent, I understand the drive to give our children the best possible start. But access to quality education isn't always equal. This motivated me, as an app developer, to create something special. Lucas & Friends is our commitment to making early learning accessible to all children, everywhere. We offer free, ad-free educational apps that focus on core skills like math, reading, and problem-solving – all disguised as fun and engaging games.
Why free? Because every child deserves a chance to learn and grow, regardless of their background. We believe in the power of play-based learning, and we're passionate about nurturing curious young minds. Funding these free apps comes from our other app development ventures. It's our way of giving back and ensuring that finances never become a barrier to a child's education. We envision Lucas & Friends empowering children to become future leaders who can create positive change. By investing in their potential today, we're investing in a brighter tomorrow.
We all want to raise children who make a difference. But how do we ignite that spark? The answer lies within ourselves! You are a teacher igniting young minds, a doctor with healing hands, or an artist inspiring beauty. Just like I used my passion for app development to create free learning tools with Lucas & Friends, I want to inspire you to share your unique gifts with the world. Helping others isn't just rewarding, it creates a ripple effect, inspiring a wave of positive change. Imagine the possibilities when we all contribute!
Lucas & Friends goes beyond apps. It's about building a community where every parent can be a changemaker. Nurture your child's curiosity with our tools, but even more importantly, consider how you can use your own skills to give back. Become a community hero! Volunteer time, mentor a youth, or simply spread kindness. Every action counts. By nurturing our children's love for learning and empowering them to contribute, we're building a generation of future leaders who care. Let's join hands and create a world where everyone thrives!
- Dave, Founder of Lucas & Friends by RV AppStudios
Lucas & Friends is more than apps – it's a community of changemakers. Use our tools to spark your child's curiosity, but consider how you can give back with your talents.
Lucas & Friends started with free educational kids apps as a passion project without ads or in-app purchases. We aspire to do good in the world, to give back, and to make an impact. Over 750 million kids have learned from our educational apps. We never imagined building a kids brand and selling toys one day! Thank you for inspiring us and for your support.

ABC Kids - Tracing & Phonics
So far this is one of the best apps I have downloaded for my younger brother (4-years-old) that has troubles in learning the alphabet. Eventually, he loved this app and kept using it until he was slowly learning the alphabet. The app is simple and easy to understand especially for children 3+.

Sight Words
Helped my son read with fun!
This app is repetitive but that is what my son needed to help him learn the sight words which has shown progress in his reading level now. He even reads out loud to his class and before he wasn’t confident enough to do so.

Coloring Games: Color & Paint
My toddler has a hard time focusing on anything, but he can play this for an hour straight. Got it for him when he was three, still playing periodically at four. The fact that this game is free, has no ads, has many different colouring styles and colours to use, make this a must for apps for young children. It also has a collectibles side, which is great for gamer parents. I never leave reviews for anything, but felt that it was a must for this one. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.

Math Games
Versatile and free!
I’m a school teacher who has a number of students with gaps in their basic skills. This app gives great practice on key concepts and is highly customizable to target the proper level. Do check it out, I’ve looked through many of the free offerings and this is by far the best you can find without a subscription!

Color Kids: Coloring Games
Truly a free app and very educational and a fun way of learning. My son ( 2+) learned a lot in a very short period of time by using the other apps simultaneously ( ABC, Numbers and even a little bith of Maths ). This app is also supported in our native language ( Dutch ). So many thanks to all who designed these apps and are otherwise involved. We are looking forward toward your other educational apps in the nearby future. With kind regards, from the Netherlands.

Kids Toddler & Preschool Games
Truly a free app with a very good educational base toward preschool. All the other apps from the Lucas and Friends-line are installed on my son's tablet. He's 2+ and learned a lot in a very short period of time ( ABC, Numbers and even a little bith of Maths ). This makes the transition towards preschool a lot easier. As a plus he also learns English since a few off the apps are not in our native language ( Dutch ). So many thanks to all who designed these apps and are otherwise involved.

Math Kids: Math Games For Kids
My autistic son loves these games and has started showing great progress with his speech, although he falls under non-verbal. Thank you for making them with no ads. It helps my son concentrate more on learning and less on irritating distractions. Keep up the great work. The printables are amazing too and colourful, which helps my son stay focused on the exercises. I highly recommend this app for parents with ASD children.
