I'm a full-time mummy

We have a couple of Dr. Seuss apps on my iPad and the latest one that we reviewed is the "Oh, the Pets You Can Get!" app. So when I received an email pitch on this app, I immediately requested to review it. Without further ado, here goes my feedback...

* Title: Hunches in Bunches
* Price: $3.99
* Category: Books
* Released: Feb 13, 2013
* Version: 2.1
* Size: 35.0 MB
* Language: English
* Seller: Oceanhouse Media, Inc.
* Rated: 4+
* Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Requires iOS 5.0 or later.

Description from the product page:

"After much arguing and "barg-uing" and shoving and yelling, a decision is made and our hero follows a Munch Hunch to lunch. The nonsense and cleverly crafted message in Hunches in Bunches is right up to par with Dr. Seuss's many other classic picture books. It's easy to become overwhelmed by advice when you have a mind--but can't make it up. Sometimes the best plan is to trust your own hunches, and disregard the vocal bunch of Hunches clamoring for attention. This makes a great gift for well-meaning flakes and ditherers of all ages."

* It is engaging and interactive and I love that we can also touch the objects in each page on the screen and the words pop out to tell you what it is!

* I like the storyline where it tells how we can sometimes be too overwhelmed with making a decision and to best trust our own instincts (hunch) instead.

* There is a particular page which I feel is important to stress to my almost 4 years old boy - that the only person who can decide in the end is himself. Of course, being at a young age now it is better if us parents do the decision making but we try to give 2 options to our boy which he can choose for himself so he can ultimately still makes the decision and yet abiding to our requirements hehehehe...

* This is just my personal opinion, I'm somewhat not comfortable at the sight of the hunches with hands on their heads.... looks creepy to me :P

I mentioned before that we are big fans of "Little Critter" apps and the last app we reviewed are the "Little Critter Collection #1", "Just a Mess", "Just Go to Bed" and "Just Going to the Dentist". So the moment I saw the words "Little Critter" in the latest Oceanhouse Media's press release in my email inbox, I remembered blogging about stepping out of my comfort zone early this year. Anyway, my review as below...

* Title: Just Shopping with Mom
* Price: $0.99
* Category: Books
* Released: Jan 30, 2013
* Version: 2.1
* Size: 33.5 MB
* Language: English
* Seller: Oceanhouse Media, Inc.
* Rated: 4+
* Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Requires iOS 5.0 or later.

Description from the product page:

"Little Critter goes shopping with his family which turns into an eventful day. While at the grocery store, his little sister becomes upset when she can't buy candy, makes a big mess by pulling items off of the shelf and then gets lost in the store. The next stop is the mall to find a dress for his little sister. Finally, Little Critter's patience pays off when mom finds a fun way to end the day!"

* It is engaging and interactive and I love that we can also touch the objects in each page on the screen and the words pop out to tell you what it is!

* I like the storyline where it tells how Little Critter go for a shopping trip with his mummy and little sister and the events that unfolded during the trip.

* I used the opportunity in this story app to teach my almost 4 years old boy that we need to be patient if we want something, to always behave, to stay close to mummy when he is out and to help look after and protect his little sister as well.

I have previously reviewed "The Magnificent Travelling Palace", so when the same developer asked whether I would be interested to review his latest app, I thought 'Why not?' Without further ado, here goes my feedback...

* Title: iMix
* Price: $1.99
* Category: Games
* Released: Jan 11, 2013
* Version: 1.0
* Size: 62.2 MB
* Language: English
* Seller: Shoham Drori 
* Rated: 4+
* Requirements: Compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad. Requires iOS 4.3 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.

Description from the product page:

"iMix- is a creative game that improves children's reading, writing and pronouncing skills in an imaginative playful and amusing manner. By mixing and matching parts of different characters and the syllables attached to them, children can create over 2000 new comic characters with funny new names. Touching each syllable will pronounce it, while the large speaker icon pronounces the full name of each character.

* This is a cute and fun game app where it allows you to slide 3 parts: head, body and feet and as you slide each part and tap on the word corresponding with the part, you get to experiment with new words and new creatures!

* There's just so many possibilities to learn new words and see the funny creatures that you made out of the creative words you slide.

* I would prefer if the corresponding part is also pronounced out when I tap directly on the image section as well as currently, it is only pronounced when you tap on the left letters side.

You can purchase the "iMix " app from the iTunes App Store.
