Eva and I received a copy of this Peter Pan Disney Classics Storybook App to review on the iPad. The first thing I noticed when I opened the app was that you could personalize it for your child with their photo and their name. That is a great little feature especially the ability to put in the photo. Eva liked that a lot. You can choose from an existing photo or take one through the app.
The storybook is beautiful with original illustrations. These are very much like paintings and have such a great classic feel to them. the narration is well done and each page has interactivity in that you child can click on any character and hear their name and see the word for that name come up. There are also options along the way to stop and color a picture. Continue reading App Review: Peter Pan Storybook Classics App→
The wildly popular console game, Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure has now expanded onto iOS devices with the release of Skylanders: Cloud Patrol. I constantly look at the new updates to the Skylanders Facebook page and Thursday I saw an update for a Skylanders game for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was just $0.99 so I decided to download it.
I was not at all disappointed. The game is so much fun. You pick your favorite Skylander and take to a flying gunship in order to take out a bunch of nasty trolls that have escaped from a prison. You can tap each troll to shoot it or swipe your finger across the screen to select multiple targets at once. The more you shoot the higher a bonus you will accumulate.
The game comes with Trigger Happy but you can add more characters. The nice thing about the game is that you can use the online codes for your existing Skylanders and pull them into the game. Why would you want to do this if the game play is the same for every character? There is a daily elemental bonus. So, if the daily bonus is for characters of the fire element you can use Eruptor and gain additional coins with each level you complete. Also, you get accomplishments when you unlock more Skylanders. You can also use the web codes for the magical items from the Adventure Packs. Continue reading Skylanders in Your Pocket! Skylanders: Cloud Patrol→
