Latest reviews of RioMio - My Animated City app for iPhone and iPad
In one part of the app, a little kid gets run down by a car?? What kind of app design is that. Poor thinking on designers.
this is really a cute app for my toddlers! They love the funny animations. Well done!
Okay, so its REALLY irritating that you cant find out more about these apps before you spend your $$$ on them! I had no way of understanding what this app was about until I purchased it, and its pricey for what you get, compared to the other interactive, fantastic games out there that are educational for children. Im an educator and buy apps for my classroom. I thought this looked like fun for a unit on social studies about communities and workers......there isnt much interactive for the children to do or learn, they just touch the screen to watch the animations. Many of the animations are inappropriate for children, in terms of what would be a healthy community, I mean, really? So, this app MUST be about what NOT to do in a healthy, happy community. The task for my students then, was, HOW MANY THINGS ARE THERE IN THIS PICTURE THAT ARE WRONG? Then it makes it a bit more fun and you could talk about what to do that is right, but if I had known, I wouldnt have wasted my money.
Does not live up to its screen shot promises. Scale of screen shots is deceptive.
