The idea behind this product is great. I think more and more educational products should be delivered via software downloaded to your devices. Not only does it mean less for your child to lose and clean up, but it is also a convenience when you travel.

Downside to the download card is, it masks the actual cost of the purchase. It would be just as easy to sell each leaplet app for $7.50 (value of each card) or $15 for some. I guess the idea is people will spend more because they can't just spend $7.50 on an app, they have to spend $15 on two codes; or that people will be more likely to buy something on a whim if they see that it only takes 1 code to buy, instead of seeing a $7.50 sticker price.

The packaging itself is very damaging to the environment. For two cards, they are packed in full cartridge plastic case, which will more than likely just get discarded into some landfill. The cards themselves are also plastic, which easily could have been paper since all that matters on it is the 16 digit code. Maybe they should utilize a system similar to point cards like Xbox Live/PSN cards. Where the cards become activated upon checkout and can be sold as actual hung products instead of having the need to be packaged in a separate wasteful plastic casing.

I've had trouble finding decent reveiws of leapletswould guess this is the best place to do so?

I have a few of the leaplet downloads. Good concept not to have to carry the cartridges around but can download onto the exlporer handheld. Glad that the downloads didn't cost me $25 each or I would have been disappointed. The downloads are not super extensive... and I'm kinda hoping they come out with updates for the leaplets like they do for iPhone apps, that would make this product exceptional.

HarmoniesLEAST favorite. There are about six songs which is fine, but they really did a mix on Wheels on the Bus (a song my 3yo LOVES) and she won't even listen to it. She loves hip hop music so I was kinda surprised she didn't like it. The other songs are She'll be Coming Around the Mountain, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Row Row Row Your Boat and Bach Minuet. The Bach Minuet was a great idea done in accapella, and my daughter LOVES it! For each song you click on one of four singing characters and they start or stop singing based on your tapping them. My 3yo enjoys listening and adding in the people. The extra sounds available are lame and are not in sync with your tapping so not useful in teaching rythm (game boasts to teach harmony). Game would be better if styles were available for each song, ie Wheels on the Bus done in the hip hop version or could switch to normal preschool version. Thie one is ok, will more likely be used by my 18mo than my 3yo from other reviews should have gotten sugar bugs.

Best Deals for LeapFrog Leapster Explorer Leaplet Download Cards (set of 2)

Personally I think the Leaplet cards are expesninve for the games you can download. There are many more educaitonal games on the internet for free with better graphics and learning capabilities. They should include a better selection and lower prices for these cards. I probably won't buy anymore.

Honest reviews on LeapFrog Leapster Explorer Leaplet Download Cards (set of 2)

These Leaplets are only worth fifteen dollars worth of apps...so do NOT BE FOOLED into thinking you are getting a deal on a twenty dollar app card!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the old format when leapfrog downloads first came out and all apps were 7.50; they did this thnking you could buy 2 apps....now the reg. download cards are worth 20. There are VERY FEW good apps for 7.50 anymore. Most of the games are 10 and the ultra ebooks are 20 and the cartridge download games are 25. The reg. download cards DO go onsale all the time on amazon, so look for those! ONLY BUY THESE IF THEY ARE LESS THAN FIFTEEN DOLLARS! Hoped this helped!

My boys both have a Leapster Explorer and these leaplets are fun for them because they get to pick their own games, flashcards, etc. In a perfect world, Leap Frog would offer more choices, but those are probably in the works. We like Jewel Train, Wheel Works, and the Spanish and Sea Animals Flashcards. SECRET: If you have more than one Leapster Explorer on your Leap Frog account, you can download the game from your Leaplet code onto BOTH your children's explorers. Just click on DOWNLOAD again with the other explorer hooked up and signed in on that child's explorer. My boys each got 2 Leaplet codes in their Easter basket, but each boy ended up with 4 games! That's a good deal! :)
