How to Train Your Dragon: iPhone app review

May 29, 2010

One of the Coolest Movies appearing as an application on app store, moreover as an E-book. Well, that sounds fun, How to Train Your Dragon, a DreamWorks Animation hit movie, is available as an e-Book app for kids thanks to FrogDogMedia LLC. One of the most important things for an app to get liked by Children is in it’s simplicity and this does justice to it.

As you touch the icon, the app automatically opens in landscape mode. Cue the opening credits music! (And don’t forget the headphones if you’re out and need to keep the kiddie occupied.) All your little one has to do is tap play. To adjust the settings, there is a small “info” icon in the top right corner. It’ll help in providing all the must-know instructions. You can turn the narration on and off, set the pages to turn automatically, and choose whether or not to include the highlighted text option.

The Story and the Pictures have been inputed in a pretty simplistic and nice way. The text appears at the bottom of the screen, and as the narrator reads out loud, the words are highlighted in phrases. This can surely help in improvising reading skills, making this app educational and fun at the same time.

With the automatic page turn feature, your child can turn the pages back and forth with a swipe. Tapping doesn’t interrupt the story, however, so touching the pictures won’t be disruptive. This is educational, this is fun and guaranteed to keep your child occupied. This app is available on the app store for just 1.99$, which is not a big deal, as far as education and fun on the same page are concerned.
