Farm Sounds is a simple app with photos of farm animals that quack, moo, nay or cocka-doodle-do when you touch them. This is a great first app for toddlers learning how to use the touch screen from activating the animal sounds to turning the page.
What’s Hot:
I love that this app has photos of real animals, not cartoon drawings or animations. The sounds the duck, cow, goat, horse and rabbit make are equally true to form. Younger children can have one animal per frame while more experienced app-savvy kids can split the screen into four animals with their noises overlapping—sure to get some giggles from your little one. There are 12 different animals in the paid version and only four animals in the free Farm Sounds Lite app.
What’s Not:
I don’t have any complaints. It’s a simple app and does what it suggests. Not all apps have to be complicated.
The Bottom Line:
It’s a great app for encouraging your yearling to mimic the animal sounds as well as teach him or her how the touch screen works. Enjoy!
