iPad App Review - Planes

~ Posted on Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 11:43 AM ~

When I saw the press release of this app from Oceanhouse Media, I immediately check out the app further. I go crazy at the thought of Ben going berserk with a new vehicle/transportation app, so I quickly request for a promo code to review it. Anyway, my review as below...

What's good?

* 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 that we can move the objects on each page! It gives you a sense of control and being imaginative to move the objects around!

* The illustrations are beautiful and the narration is great!

Room for Improvement?

* IMO, it would be better if the app can just focus entirely on the jet plane as the first few pages touches on other types of planes.
