Everyone knows that the LEGO console games are awesome. And the iOS ones are pretty good, too. But the port of LEGO Batman from console to iOS is particularly awesome, and is very toddler-friendly (assuming you don't object to occasional screentime for a toddler). Except. Right at the beginning, it asks whether you want to continue or start a new game. And if you start a new game, you lose everything you've done up to this point, including all the cool characters you've unlocked, levels you've beaten, and any in-app purchases you may have made.
Just try to explain to a 3 year old why he can't play as Aquaman anymore.
It's a solveable problem, though. What you need is a file manager for iOS. There are several out there. I use iFunBox, which gets the job done, but there are probably many others that would do just as good a job with a less cluttered interface.
Make sure that the LEGO Batman game is not running on your device (including in the background). Plug your device into your pc, and navigate to the LEGO Batman app, and look for the file named savegame.dat. Save that to somewhere safe. If somebody accidentally deletes the game, you can drag this file from your desktop (or wherever) into the proper folder on your iOS device, and you're back to playing as the king of the seven seas.
You can also use a similar process to move a saved game from one device to another, so your kids aren't fighting with Mom over who gets to use the iPad with the 'good' game on it.
Oh, and you can also use this software to move Minecraft worlds from one iOS device to another. If you're into that sort of thing.
