Latest reviews of Rounds: Franklin Frog app for iPhone and iPad
I read a review of this on the Kirkus Reviews newsletter and it was right on. The app is great.
My 2 year old loves all the Nosy Crow apps so it was without hesitation that we bought Franklin Frog on day one. We were not disappointed at all. This charming app is very educational without seeming so. Your little one will learn where frogs come from and even what they do during winter. The way the story circles around is very neat but without a clear ending its hard to tear my little one away from it. We are looking forward to the next Rounds circle of life story. Nosy Crow does it again, Bravo!
Nosy Crow does it again! A charming app, easy navigation, gorgeous graphics and just the right amount of interaction. The narration is excellent and will appeal to all children - adults too! PS. A mating scene might be worth including. My granddaughter asked how Felicity managed to get the eggs.
This is a fabulous app to teach students about the life cycle! Students loved all the interactive features (how frogs grab their food, finding a place for Franklin to hibernate, swimming in the pond and of course laying eggs). Great way to learn alot about frogs. Love the way this app does not end, but continues the cycle. Great job.
Wow, what an awesome child friendly app, packed with fun and education that introduces and presents science in a wonderful fun way! My boys, 3&5, love frogs and are fascinated learning about life cycles and they were amazed at all they learned about frogs! They loved helping Franklin jump, swim and eat. Weve only purchased it yesterday and its already been played with over and over again. This is my idea of an app that parents dream of! As a parent, I was amazed at the amount of factual information contained in the app. The graphics are amazing, the interactions are plentiful and so cool. The child narration is superb and the navigation is super child friendly. This app had my boys eagerly engaged throughout. We will definitely be on the lookout for future apps in the Round Series! This app has been a great lesson in biology and the knowledge will remain with my boys through the years. This must have app is a real gem and a great addition to our digital library and I would HIGHLY recommend it!
