“Timely Tutor” is an app for iPod/iPad/iPhone that asks children to take a break from playing video games and take a quiz. You can set the questions to appear every five minutes or every hour or any time period. Each set of questions in areas such as geography, science and math, costs 99 cents, but there are hundreds of them for each grade level up to the sixth grade. It’s up to you whether the kid is stopped from playing his game until he takes his quiz or whether he just gets a gentle reminder. You also decide how long the quiz is and what constitutes a passing grade.
