## What is RioMio?

The animated city on the river, for children ages 2 and up

With this enchanting app, children discover active life in RioMio, the city on the river. The large image with its three sections is teeming with numerous lovingly produced city scenes, people and objects, which are brought to life when touched.

The app contains 55 professionally illustrated and animated scenes with over 200 individual animations. These show various activities and events within the urban world and teach children how things are interconnected. Every one of the little cartoons is individually set to sound. 
The scenes also include subterranean systems such as an underground station, a wastewater treatment plant and the underwater world of the river. This makes the discovery particularly interesting for children.
In each section the user can zoom into an enlarged detail, that shows the interior of a shop, a nursery and a cruise ship, as if peeking inside a doll's house.When touched, the characters come to life and perform funny actions and noises.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2018-08-24*

I paid for the full version for my son but only able to use the boat section. All areas in the map are not accessible. Very disappointed.

### 2/5 — No sound

*2013-10-21*

There is no sound at all, something I would expect having paid for it. Also when I click x2 parents it doesn't even work, very disappointed and so is my son...the game does look great fun to be honest

### 1/5 — Unimpressed.

*2013-08-10, version 1.3*

Does not live up to its screen shot promises. Scale of screen shots is deceptive.

### 2/5 — The only way I can justify RioMio

*2013-04-16, version 1.1*

Okay, so it's REALLY irritating that you can't find out more about these apps before you spend your $$$ on them! 
I had no way of understanding what this app was about until I purchased it, and it's pricey for what you get, compared to the other interactive, fantastic games out there that are educational for children.
I'm an educator and buy apps for my classroom. I thought this looked like fun for a unit on social studies about communities and workers......there isn't much interactive for the children to do or learn, they just touch the screen to watch the animations. 
Many of the animations are inappropriate for children, in terms of what would be a healthy community, I mean, really? 
So, this app MUST be about what NOT to do in a healthy, happy community. 
The task for my students then, was, HOW MANY THINGS ARE THERE IN THIS PICTURE THAT ARE WRONG?
Then it makes it a bit more fun and you could talk about what to do that is right, but if I had known, I wouldn't have wasted my money.

### 5/5 — Nice little App

*2013-03-16, version 1.1*

this is really a cute app for my toddlers! They love the funny animations. Well done!

### 1/5 — Bad Design

*2013-02-27, version 1.1*

In one part of the app, a little kid gets run down by a car?? What kind of app design is that. Poor thinking on designers.
