## What is Baby's 1st App?

Our little daughter is constantly fascinated by the way we manipulate the screens of our iOS devices. Of course, she wants to try, but they don't respond well to the imprecise swipes of a baby's hand.
Introducing Baby's 1st App; it recognises the many touches of full handprints and encourages fine motor skills with draggable clear, crisp squares that rotate engagingly during movement. You'll be shown how to use Guided Access to keep your child from wandering outside this app and accidentally reorganising your life!

Features:
• The simplest interface possible—a number of colorful, draggable rounded squares.
• Your baby can tap and drag any number of squares to move them.
• Squares are lifted, given a shadow and rotate while touched.
• Squares can be resized by pinching.
• Don't touch the app for 5 seconds and squares animate smoothly back to their starting positions.
• Built-in instructions for using Guided Access to stop your baby from switching apps and triggering multitouch system gestures.
• Silent!

Designed for iPad and iPad Mini, but also works on iPhone and iPod Touch.

## Key features

- Simple interface with colorful draggable squares
- Squares rotate and animate when touched
- Pinch to resize squares
- Squares return to start position after inactivity
- Guided Access instructions included

### 3/5 — Bright white background color is tough on eyes

Wish the developer would make options for the background color. Would be a sensitive touch to the optics.  Option for black background would jump my review to 5 Stars.
