what is the difference between apps and game cartridges
841141
I buy apps instead of cartridge so that we don't lose games, and so that both of my kids can play the same game at the same time on their own leappads. We have a few cartridges and they fight over them all the time. The apps are way better if you have up to 3 kids (you can have up to 3 leappads per account). You have to take up space on the console for the apps, but we have 25 apps on ours and aren't even using half the storage on it.

I think apps are downloaded from the internet, but if you do not have a computer/ internet access, then you can buy the game cartridge. You can get the same activity you want, so there's really no difference between app vs cartridge. We download apps so they don't lose anything.

If you have more than one child like I do, getting the app is better because you can install them on up to three devices- so no fighting over cartridges or losing them (I've found them everywhere). At first I thought cartridges were better because you can resell them, and if you resell your leappad with apps, once you change the info over- which you have to do if you want to buy something else, the previously purchased apps are gone. However, if they get broken, stepped on or lost, not only do my kids not have them to play with, there is no resell value at all.

With the game cartridges you can later sell to another family if you no longer need them. With the apps you have to sell the console and others would benefit from the free apps that you have paid for.

Apps are purchased online from leapfrog and downloaded to your child's leappad. A game cartridge is a small removable cartridge that you insert in the leappad. You have to physically have the cartridge in the leappad to play that game, whereas apps are stored on the device.

Pretty much everything on the Google Play store is available for download, although that's up to the app developer on what is free. There are free games and reader apps.

You can buy the game cards already boxed and ready to go. Otherwise, if you do the download version and have them printed you can get them done at Kinko's or any print shop. But then you have to pay for printing, cut them all down to size, etc. etc. To me it's easier just to buy the game already boxed and ready to go.

No internet connection is needed to play game cartridges, internet is only needed when connecting the the game system to a pc or laptop to track progress or download games from the leapfrog app center.

no differences in gameplay. just the design. it's an update from the company. that's all. the first edition will be some sort of an collector's edition now since it's out of print.

No. it only works with the black cartridge NDS games. not the white ads games.

I don't think there is any game-play difference. Some people like to own the box art but generally just buying it on Steam is faster.

The cartridge must be inserted every time you wish to play. You can use 1 cartridge on different devices, but not at the same time. The advantage to cartridges is that they don't take up space on the device's hard drive. The disadvantage is that they have to be stored somewhere & if they get lost, you're out of luck. I don't know if there is a difference in content between a cartridge & a download of the same game.

Yes. The reason this model is called "power" is because it comes with the rechargeable battery packs and the charger cable for them. It also has a few extra apps, from what I can tell, but that is the only differences. The cartridges are interchangeable.

It comes with a few apps on it but you can buy more. You can either buy game cartridges or download the games offline.

Yes. It allows you to download one free game during initial setup, but everything else has to be bought. Unless you're willing to spend $3+ for sale items or as much as $25 for other apps, this may not be what you're looking for. Nothing is free. It appears most things are $10+.

To just put the game console in. It can hold about 3 cartridges, but really you won't need it, because most of the games are downloaded apps.

Not if you are using cartridges. If you want to download apps though you will

I don't know the difference but I was not able to get this device working at all. I pitched mine in the trash after trying to get it working with the software for weeks.

No. It only has the preloaded games. It has no place for game cartridges. There are about half Sega games and half random games that were never on Sega and basically fillers, like card games.
