App Review: Disney Classics Bambi

Disney Reads Classics: Bambi

I was given a copy of the latest Disney Reads app. It was the classic tale of Bambi. This was the Phoebe Buffay version of the story. For those who never saw the TV show Friends Phoebe Buffay’s mother always turned off movies before anything bad happened. She never knew that Bambi’s mother was killed or other hardships that Bambi faced. This app is much the same in that the story tells of Bambi’s first half hour or so of the movie. Don’t get me wrong I think it is great for little kids to enjoy the story of Bambi and have it be happy throughout, they just might be a little upset when they see the full story.

Review

Celebrate the 4th of July with a Couple of All American apps

I review a bunch of iPad apps and from time to time the ones that I review go on sale and I’m alerted to that to let you know that you can pick them up for good prices. Two such apps are the Avengers Origins: Assemble! and Avengers Origins: Hulk. These are normally $3.99 – $5.99 each but until Sunday July 8th they are only $1.99 and the cool thing about them is that they are narrated by Stan “The Man” Lee. Click the titles to see my reviews for these apps.

“Avengers Origins: Assemble!” App

The “Assemble” story is the perfect introduction to exciting Super Heroes like Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, and more. The app features innovative, interactive activities including matching heroic accessories with each Super Hero, using Thor’s powers and the Hulk’s strength to stop the Atlanteans and Namor, melting the ice to free Captain America from his frozen prison and playing an action-packed 3D third-person-view mini-game! Available for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

“Avengers Origins: Hulk” App

Follow Stan Lee’s story narration of Dr. Bruce Banner’s epic transformation into the Incredible Hulk. The app features detailed artwork, cutting-edge animations, and interactive touch-screen activities, including roaring, transforming into the Hulk, and testing the Hulk’s strength by breaking through walls, stopping tanks, and more. Available for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

If your kids are a little younger but are using the iPad then I have a cute alphabet app for you. It is called ABC Fireworks App. Young children, pre-school age can tap letters as they are fired into the sky. As your child taps the letter it explodes in a flash of color like a firework. There are a few different firework designs and so many colors. Eva already knows her alphabet very well but she was fully engrossed and entertained by this app. When we originally reviewed this together we had some suggestions for the app developer and he was very receptive to our suggestions and even made some changes based on those suggestions. I love it when an app developer takes into consideration the suggestions from users. I think the app has become vastly improved with the changes and now the app is only $0.99 in the app store. That special price is good till Saturday the 7th.
