Peekaboo Forest

The graphics in this one are vastly different than the others and seem “rushed” just to get the app out. Too much going on and only half the animals shows are good representation. Also some of the animals are very small. For winter, why oh why would you put a frog? Also, why choose a weasel but not a wolf or a bear in any of the seasons? Common forest animal that every child thinks of. I’ve had peekaboo barn for ten years now and just discovered the other apps. Peekaboo barn was simple. The continuous barn background wasn’t a distraction and easy to make out the animals pictured. I was hoping the same would be for the forest one, even if it showed different seasons. I hope the makers of the app take the time revamp this one. It could be so much better.

I just purchased this app today for our 3 year old, and she loves it! I love that you can record your own voice saying the names of the animals. We recorded her siblings saying the names, and it has only added to her delight when the animal is named. The app is quiet, peaceful, and very pleasant to look at. The graphics are lovely and simple. The noises are realistic and calm, not over the top and loud. We look for apps that are not so overly stimulating for our kids, and this one fit the bill perfectly. Very happy! The one thing that I hope is improved in the future is ease of navigation. There is no easy way to go back, forward, or stay on a page if you like. Other than that, no complaints!

A must-have for any Charley Harper fans, this app is sheer delight for kids of all ages. My 10-year old daughter loved it instantly and wouldn't give it back. She especially loved that she could switch it to Spanish so she could learn all the Spanish words for the seasons and the animals. It's a great touch to have a kid's voice as the primary audio. Charley Harper's illustrations are ideal for this kind of app! Can't wait for the sequel!!
