Mega Bloks Playground By Budge Studios

  • October 29, 2010 7:43 am

Mega Bloks Playground By Budge Studios is a fun app that take a while for a child to get used to. First the controls involve dragging your finder on the screen to move the kids around. This can be a bit difficult. Once we master that process the app is a lot of fun! You can move the kids to a boat, to a hot air balloon, and try to find the groups of bloks to build a new toy.

My 3 year old spent a lot of time in the app while she was feeling under the weather and sat and played more while I was writing this review. Take a look at the video we did early on with the app. It is a lot of fun!

Learning – 2/5
Fun – 4/5
Attention – 5/5

Total – 11/15

I think this app is probably appropriate for ages 3-6.

Talking Tom by Outfit7

  • October 1, 2010 7:22 am

Starting off the month with an app that is pure fun and offers almost no learning potential might be a little silly, but here we go.

This app is for anyone and everyone. It is simply fun. Tom is a cat that mimics your voice. Anything you say into the phone Tom repeats in a silly voice. It is a neat app that my 3 year old likes to just leave running all day and laughs when Tom decides to repeat what we have said. It passes the time in the car and can snap a little one out of a funk.

Talking Tom is a free app that is ad supported and sometimes those in app purchase options get in the way, but overall a fun app that is worth an upgrade or two.

I give it a 5 for attention and 5 for fun, but a 0 for learning for a total of 10.
