I just purchased this app today for our 3 year old, and she loves it! I love that you can record your own voice saying the names of the animals. We recorded her siblings saying the names, and it has only added to her delight when the animal is named. The app is quiet, peaceful, and very pleasant to look at. The graphics are lovely and simple. The noises are realistic and calm, not over the top and loud. We look for apps that are not so overly stimulating for our kids, and this one fit the bill perfectly. Very happy! The one thing that I hope is improved in the future is ease of navigation. There is no easy way to go back, forward, or stay on a page if you like. Other than that, no complaints!
My daughter loves the other versions of Peekaboo but this one she just isn't interested in. It's incredibly slow and quiet, the animals don't make very exciting sounds (which was her favorite part of the other games). I would highly recommend purchasing the other games and not this one.
I almost didn't buy this because the reviews were not as good as Peekaboo Barn. I'm so glad I decided to give it a try. In my opinion, this app is much better than Barn. This app has more animation and I love the different backgrounds instead of looking at the one dumb barn. Also, better suited for the animals we see in our background.
The art is fantastic! It could have been longer, even a toddlers attention span is longer than this. BUT overall, I really enjoyed this app and love sharing beautiful art with my child.
Our family lives by the national Forest in Flagstaff, so I was excited about this second peekaboo game. But it was a big disappointment for me. There's not much content, it is not randomized, and the animals often are not fully shown. The developers really need to revisit this game, and flesh it out more.
Unlike Peekaboo Barn and Wild, which feel better aimed at an under two crowd, this version is a little too nuanced to be as engrossing. Our eager likes it, just differently.
Also, a particular gripe: Why is there a frog in the winter season? All other animals seem seasonally appropriate. Please change this.
Unlike peekaboo barn and wild, some of the critters are too small for the youngest kids (15 months) to see (iPhone and iPod touch), but the older ones (3, 5, and me!) like the pictures a lot more
I liked barn and wild a lot, but forest takes these apps to a whole new level. The art is beautiful and sophisticated and yet my 2 year old daughter appreciates it as much as I do. Bottom line: if you have little kids, get it now!
This review is for the updated version. There are many glitches now. Every page has an additional graphic that is moving, frustrating my 2-year old to no end. (FYI, they are the butterfly, chipmunk tail, woodpecker...then he shut it off when the winter scene came around again.) This is normally a beautiful, captivating app for the youngest members of the family (4 stars only because we'd like to see more for the price we paid), but until it's fixed, I'm taking it off our iPad.
I thought this app would b similar to the Peekaboo Wild and Barn but it wasn't. I should have looked closer but I just assumed and ordered it.
The graphics are so beautiful but they r broken up by season and some are pretty small and hard to really see.
It will b nice for when my son is older but I think I wasted money on it.
