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.
