## What is BioMio?

The animated biology app for children 2 years and up

With this charming and simple app, children are able to learn about animals, plants and the climate. Based on an entirely intuitive design, children gain their first experiences with biospheres, food chains and animal reproduction. The basics for understanding different eco-systems are communicated in a playful way. 

BioMio is perfect for parents who would like to raise their child’s awareness at an early age to the processes of nature and basic aspects of biology without overwhelming children with text or complicated graphics. 

This app is easy to use: children immerse themselves in three different landscapes and make different animals and plants come to life by simply touching them on the screen. 
The representations also depict subterranean and underwater environments making this app particularly interesting and appealing. 
Each landscape offers an automatic detail enlargement function enabling even the smallest of animals to be easily recognized and well-defined. 


The following environments may be experienced:  

The River Landscape and the Tree
The squirrel, woodpecker, bark beetle and bees live in this biotope. The rabbit and the mouse have their underground tunnels, their young tucked away in their home shelters. A buzzard chases after a mouse and feeds its young - freshly hatching out of their eggs. Even the snake is quick to have eyes for the little mouse. The bear attempts to catch fish from the river while the hedgehog tugs on a rain worm. A bud sprouts from an acorn and mushrooms pop up out of the ground. Tap on the clouds and rain begins to pour down.

The Forest and the Pond
In this biotope we find the hedgehog and the rabbit and the fo x with its young in their shelters. There is also the hungry deer and the owl. The frog in the pond snatches a dragon fly. Meanwhile, the mother duck teaches her offspring to swim. The spider spins its web. Under water, the fish and newt tumble and swim; a water lily grows and blossoms. Tap on the clouds in this environment and snowflakes begin to fall over the mountaintops. 

The Sea and Underwater World 
The fish, the sea horse, jellyfish, octopus, sea urchin, molluscs and the large, greedy shark dwell in this busy biotope. The seagull and the seal snatch a fish. A fish swallows a snail. The turtle lays its eggs in the sand and the crabs have a little quarrel. The seal family sun themselves on an island and splash around in the sea. Tap on the sun and watch the water evaporate to form little clouds. 

Have fun in the land of BioMio!

### 5/5 — Great for toddlers

*2017-07-09*

My 2 year old loves this. I just wish there some support from the dev. I haven't seen a single update since I purchased it. I think there should be some additional scenes added on over time considering it's a paid app. A farm scene would be great!!

### 1/5 — No sound in the app

*2017-07-01, version 4.0*

Sound does not work on iPhone 6Plus / 7plus :(

### 1/5 — Not worth the $

*2016-12-22, version 4.0*

Does not teach anything. Nothing more than animated pictures with a bit of movement from the animals and plants. Definitely should be free. 3 & 5 year old got bored with it in 5 minutes

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2016-11-11*

Unbelievably disappointing. Do not pay for this game, it's pathetic they make you for this.

### 2/5 — Cute but doesn't function properly

*2016-04-01, version 4.0*

It will only let me look at one area. Not worth the money.

### 5/5 — Lovely game

*2016-01-07*

This is a lovely game which is interesting for all ages. Although an adult could look through everything relatively quickly, my toddler (19mths) loves to look at it again and again. The animations are detailed, realistic and longer than I thought they would be. 

I bought this as a package of three games and recommend all for toddlers / pre-school age.

### 3/5 — Sorry not worth cost

*2015-04-08*

It is cute and looks fun, well made but for this cost there should be plenty more to do. There's not enough to do and learn too!

### 1/5 — Can you modify the app?

*2015-03-27*

Honestly, I'm slightly disappointed. I think this app has potential with Some modifications.  It would be nice if when you click on something, for it to maybe give a brief narrative or something educational. I get it's all visual but it wasn't overly impressive.  However that being said I loved the graphics. And would absolutely love this app if it had more interaction or dialogue

### 1/5 — Don't waste your $$

*2015-02-04*

Overly simplistic and poor information.
No sound.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2014-10-29*

Very frustrating when apps have no sound. Want my money back
