Talking about best educational apps for kids I would like to make one suggestion. Kinder Hangman - http://sharkfuel.com/kinderhangman.html that is specially designed to improve vocabulary of kids and help them remember new words. This iPhone app has a positive impact on child's development and can be used to prepare kids for school. This game is intended for children between 5-9 years old.

The DISH Remote Access app is a really good one for the iPad. With my provider/employer you can access all your subscription channels and DVR recordings from anywhere you are. It works great when you are traveling and they get restless. I always put on their favorite shows that they can learn from and they can watch it live. The kids love it when they are not playing their games, and it keeps them quiet for hours.
