What a cute app in time for Christmas celebration which is right around the corner! The moment I started using this app, I selected pictures of my family (hubby, myself, Ben and Alyson) and once I'm done (very fast process too!) I showed it to Ben and we went through the app together.
You should've seen the look on his face when he saw his own face appearing on the app cover and then our faces on the characters in the app!
Ben's face on the app cover! Cute!!
He was smiling and saying out our names as he saw our faces popping out on the app! Cute!
My little Alyson's face appearing as Santa's reindeer!
What's good?
* It is engaging and interactive and I love that we can also touch the objects in each page on the screen!
* I like how the pictures we selected appears randomly as the story goes along and got repeated again and again and again!
* The process to upload our pictures into the app is very user friendly and easy to go through.
* I am also amazed at the cool features of the app when I upload our pictures, I can so easily select, enlarge or reduce the size and even rotate the pictures!
Room for Improvement?
* I think it will be totally awesome if there is a function which allows us to EMAIL out the pictures! That will totally make a cute e-card for Christmas!
