Presto app review

Introduction

You'll want to act fast on the Presto app for your iPad. It's being offered at a sale price for a limited time only. You will be able to wow all your friends and family thanks to this magical app. Who says you have to buy a big expensive kit to become a magician?

Your Tricks

Of course the question you're asking is what tricks you'll be able to perform with the help of this iPad app. Well the four tricks you're given are all interactive tricks, which are fun not just for you but your audience.

You will be able to perform the Gravity Defying Magic Balls that let you tap, shake, tilt, flick, and pinch them. The Face-Morphing Camera is exactly as it sounds and each time you use it you'll be wowed by the results, which are always different. Meanwhile the Multi-Touch Particle Elements allows you to make them dance at just a touch of the screen. Finally is the Voice Changing Microphone that gives you five different voices to play with.

The app calls itself a "magical interactive e-book experience" and that title isn't far from the truth. In fact it's really a very accurate way to describe it.

 

That's Not All

So besides the fun tricks the app is also uses incredible graphics that feel pretty advanced and high-tech, music that helps to set the scene, and a whole lot of fun and mystery. If you have a thing for magic or you like being able to entertain your friends and family then this is definitely a fun app to check out.

The app is perfectly appropriate for kids as well as adults as there is no inappropriate or adult-like content here. That means the kids will have just as much fun as the adults.

Navigating the app is simple and quick with the focus on the tricks and the high-tech “magic” that is being provided.

Where the app seems to fall short is in its variety and amount of content. Sure you get four cool tricks that are plenty of fun but it feels a bit thin. It would be nice if more tricks were offered in order to give you more variety. After you perform these ones a few times you’ll be ready for more. It feels more like the amount of content you would expect in a free app rather than a paid one.

 

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Easy for kids and adults to use
• Four fun and interactive magic tricks to perform
• Get different results each and every time

 

Cons

• The price feels a bit high for the limited content you’re given

 

Final Thoughts

No one will argue that the Presto app isn’t fun and a great activity to do with friends but where this one seems to miss the mark is in the amount of content. Considering I have to pay for this one I expect more than what’s offered.
