BEAR Adventure

It would be great if this app was updated occasionally, nothing has changed since we originally downloaded it. The games don’t actually work very well if you try and play them. Some activities require you to download attachments (which isn’t practical when on the go) rather than just playing something on the app.

The app adds another dimension to collecting the physical cards, and my children get excited about scanning the card. The activities are sweet and fun, with great downloadable resources. We have been collecting Science Hero cards and have been a bit disappointed. My son sighs at the fact that the "showdowns" are always the same. The showdowns feel like an idea that wasn't quite completed but put in the app anyway. You imagine it was meant to be like "top trumps"? On the reverse, it "highlights" the answer to finding the objects, but it is very hard to make out the outline and objects highlighted. I suggest being able to zoom in on the card, and not reveal the answer immediately. The card in the bottom left of the screen displaying the number of cards found should be clickable and take you to the page listing your cards. I like this company and their products. High five!

I raised the camera/microphone issue with the developers and got a reply a lot quicker than expected. When they explained about the microphone I did advise I’d not be using it and may delete the app if it wasn’t fixed as I cannot see the need of it to scan. I thought that was it but I received an email advising me the update has now removed this option of microphone being needed Now whilst that doesn’t seem like a lot actually having a human come back to me when they didn’t need to as the app would have updated anyway makes me feel a little warm and fuzzy that someone cares enough about my child’s enjoyment to let me know
