A Kid-Friendly Experience

This is one of those apps that clearly has taken the likes and wants of kids into consideration. The entire app is kid-friendly, from the features to how to work it to the sound effects and characters. It’s entertaining and engaging for kids right from the get go.

Not only is the app fun but there is an educational aspect to it as kids get an introduction to using the telephone, dialing it, and of course familiarizing themselves with numbers.

Parents have plenty of good stuff to say about this app, stating how easy it is for kids to use and that kids love the interactions and characters. Sometimes you’re just looking for that app to keep kids occupied with or to act as that little dose of learning in their day well this is a great one to turn to.

Using the App

This app is a new release to the App Store. It should be mentioned that the app is from BabyFirst, which is known for providing a TV network specifically for toddlers, babies, and their parents.

The network has the goal of helping to build on kids' developmental skills. By providing parents with a mobile option it gives kids a chance to continue the learning experience no matter where they are.

As for using the app so far I have not had a good experience as it keeps crashing each time I try to launch it. I don't see others commenting on this problem so perhaps this is fluke and not an actually issue that many users are experiencing. If you are able to get past the launch then you're in for a treat.

Kids will be able to use the phone book where they choose what character they want to call. The characters include Blossom, Sammy, VocabuLarry, and Tillie. Each one of them offers three conversations. Kids can practice dialing the phone and there are animated elements here to enjoy.

Nowadays it's all about texting and this app fully recognizes the trend and gives kids a chance to send emoticons.
