I am blown away by this app... Amazing!
My 34 month old son took to this app right away. It feels like a kids first RPG... but it perfectly blends education with fun. It moves like a side-scrolling adventure game, and kids encounter obstacles along the way that can only be traversed by answering a question. The child gets coins at the end of the level (which they slide into their piggy banks,) and eventually makes it to school, where he or she can choose different games to play (they unlock more choices as they advance in play.)
And these games are FUN. I admit, when I was trying out the app myself, I spent a good amount of time playing a few. But I digress...
After collecting coins, they are able to "purchase" fun items to put on their bookshelf in the game, and interact with. My son loved feeding the fish in his goldfish bowl.
The pacing is perfect, and the reward system creates a greater drive to play, and therefore, learn. Its kind of a genius app. Highly recommended for ages 3-7.
