Does this work independently of online leap frog or do you have to connect to use this?

Hi there, it worked on its own. it came with batteries, so we just on the button, and my gal just started playing on it.

I think it's only for the Tag pen because it says "tag" on the box. You can call leapfrog though.

Not that I'm aware of. There are really only 2 uses for the Wifi on the ultra. 1. To download rewards or purchased apps or 2. To view videos on utube (only the ones that leapfrog has approved... many of them involve animals; basically G rated stuff). The ultra is a Christmas present for my daughter so I haven't investigated all of the features, but I like that my 7 yr old won't have access to most of the utube content. They also cannot get on the internet outside of those 2 features. There is a built in app called pet chat. If another kid has an ultra, they can text each other. Their names aren't shared though (image of a pet comes up) and it is only possible to text from leapfrog devices that have the pet chat app. This means that adults and others can't text the kid unless they have that app. To me that means my child won't be texting strangers.

I think absolutely not... I have not played with the API's for LeapMotion, but this was piece of junk as far as I am concerned... I should have returned it but forgot and then I passed the point were I can return it. Even if the API's work I dont think the device would be able to do anything meaningful with that. A friend of mine told they bought a device (May be ring (?) ) which woks better... I will update the answer when I ask them how it works.... Unless Leapmotion have changed their Hardware I doubt you would be able to create anything meaningful with this.

No it does not charge the Leap Frog like how an iPhone can get charged. I have 8 AA rechargeable batteries (and a battery recharger, of course) I just toggle them out. But I have been very glad the few times I forgot to charge a set of AA's and had the adapter! Also I highly recommend downloading all the books, videos and photo your child created onto your computer habitually. The things they create are amazing and often times if they are in the middle of creating a book, the battery goes out and it does not save their work all of the time if they are in the middle of something. Plus you can delete files from the leap pad to free up space for more creativity.

I had the exact problem yesterday. I uninstalled the leappad connect program (supplied on disk), turned off antivirus(norton) and reinstalled the disk. I then connected the leappad by the USB and again turned off the antivirus and firewall. The art studio and the about me app then began to sync automatically and uploaded in less than 5 minutes. It is not a faulty device as was my initial thought (phew). The above steps solved it for me..........Hope this helps. ;o)

well i don't think its on apple, all I see is its for Microsoft. But you should see if Leapfrog has anything specific for apple.

No you can't but there are a lot of other apps and games you can download onto the leapPad. You can check out the site LeapFrog.com and see all the different apps they have. There are some really good learning ones. Hope this helps.

To be honest, my son is very young and cant fully use it. I figured when he does start using it more, he would be up to date. I would say for the price difference, the 2 prob. Would be smarter. Leap frog has such great products, I am sure the 2 is packed with great stuff and a lot less $.

Yes! It just adds $20 to your LeapFrog Connect "App Center" account balance, and then you can use that towards LeapPad OR Leapster Explorer Apps -- just make sure you're in the right tab for your device.

You only need the pen. Plug it into your computer, install the leap frog program on your computer (if you don't already have it), and do a search for the map. You can then select the install button, let it finish, and you're set. Good luck!

It works with the Leap Frog Explorer but it tells you on the package what it is compatible with.

We have a Leap Pad and it works with it. The box says it works with Leapster Explorer but since we don't have one I cannot confirm 100% it will.

Yes, I also have 2 leappads and made the mistake at first of buying the app twice. You can share an app 2 times according to the website. Just download it to each leappad. Make sure when you switch leappads hooked to your computer you also go back to the home page and switch user names.

yes, as the game you can purchase off the Leap Frog site, as you need to set up a free account to register and down load the first software, have game for 7 years plus, I purchase all my daughters games from there, and you can add a learn portfolio to monitor their learn, as you down load the games straight to their pad. hope this helps Margaret

Going back to the syncing issue...................The re-install option and disabling your firewalls is not necessarily the solution (have done both without any change).When the connect program is running (and your LeapPad is on and connected), click on "settings" and then click "check for updates" or "repair". Once we had installed the update (circa 91mb) the two problem apps (story studio and art studio) were able to be checked (in the box) and synced within minutes.Hope this helps.
