Catch a Figure app review

Introduction

When it comes to learning based apps for kids you need to have a theme that captures and holds their attention right from the start. The Catch a Figure app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone attempts to do just that by offering a fun animal theme for kids ages two to six. Kids will take part in a number of interactive activities that all use African savannah animals. The activities will address their color recognition skills, learn their numbers, visualization skills, and even help with their listening skills.

Let the Animals Guide Them

You can leave the teaching and the fun in the hands of all the African savannah animals in the Catch a Figure app. Kids will get to learn and then take care of all of these cute and interesting animals as they play the game. There are a number of skills that are addressed such as color visualization, listening, figures, numbers, and more. You'll be able to set the pace of the game so it is perfect for each individual child. As they play the game they will also be improving their response rate and their ability to pay attention for longer periods of time.
In the last update there were a couple of new features added such as a new animal (the hippo), and a new gift. The app doesn't yet have a customer rating or any customer comments. There is no need to make an in-app purchase to remove ads, like so many apps require.

Let the Games Begin

I think it's really important to point out how much attention to detail has been paid to the development of the Catch a Figure app. It's all the little things that really add up such as the incredible illustrations, the fact that the activities alternate between relaxing and learning ones, and the soundtrack which is engaging and professional. Parents will be able to check out the progress of their child and encouragement is given throughout the game.
As soon as you launch the game the music begins and kids will be able to start playing. The instructions are clear, the graphics are really fun, and the controls are all touch enabled so it is simple for kids. The app itself is responsive and smooth and without any issues.

Pros and Cons

Read in Russian app review: ideal for teaching young kids

Read the review from appPicker http://www.apppicker.com/reviews/16912/Read-in-Russian-app-review-ideal-for-teaching-young-kids

Introduction

If you have a young child ages two and older, who you would like to teach Russian to, here's an app that can help you do so in an engaging and non-stressful way. The Read in Russian app can be used on your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone and is an interactive game that will help to familiarize them with Russian syllables and letters. By doing this you can then move on to the reading in a natural way. Kids will love the graphics, sound effects, and approach which helps to set them up for success.

Learn a New Language

This language app is all about giving young kids the tools they need in the environment that is perfect for them so they can learn to read Russian at their own speed. Interactive games can be played whenever they like without any pressure as they learn all about the letters of the Russian alphabet and the syllables. As the developer explains this is a "progressive method of teaching the basics of reading" and, by working this way, kids will be building their confidence level as they go. The game features three different levels of difficulty and there is a gift that will be awarded to them at the completion of each level.
Read in Russian's most recent update made some fixes to the images so they appear as intended on the iPhone 5 and they added a new sound effect. The app doesn't currently have any customer rating or customer comments.

Taking a Look at the Lessons

As soon as you launch this Russian language app the cute graphics and playful music will capture your child’s attention from the start. I really appreciate that parents are given so many customization tools so that the app offers the perfect amount of challenge for your child. This iPad app is well aware that every child learns at a different speed and pace. They do a great job ensuring that kids don’t end up feeling frustrated.
The Read in Russian iPhone app is incredibly child-friendly with touch controls that are responsive and smooth. They still may need the help of an adult as they first get to know the interactive games. The three different areas they will be working on is to remember the vowels, remember the syllables, and the form words from them. As mentioned before, they are given cute rewards at the end of each level all of which have to do with interactive forest animals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Child-friendly game controls
• Age appropriate graphics and sound effects that are engaging and fun
• Focuses on Russian vowels, syllables, and then forming words
• Kids are rewarded after completing a level
• The app is completely interactive
• Plenty of parent customization tools

Cons

• It would be nice to see even more content added

Final Words

The Read in Russian app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone offers kids an engaging and interactive way to learn how to read Russian. I love how child-friendly the game controls are and the fact that the app grabs their attention right from the start.
