I still cannot delete this app and it still tries to download every week for over three months now! ### 5/5 — Knocked My Socks Off *2015-02-12, version 2.1* Wow! Loved the augmented reality features of this book and app. So many different ways to interact with the story and work on emerging skills. I am excited that this is the direction books are taking! ### 1/5 — Questionable App *2012-07-26, version 1.5* When I open this game app it turns on my camera...a little scary for children loading these games!!! it makes me question what this app is being used for...I have tried numerous times to load this app and it does the same thing each time on my new iPad...would highly advise against downloading this app...it makes me feel like someone is spying on my family!!! ### 5/5 — Mind Blowing! *2012-04-03, version 1.5* This is simply one of the coolest things I've ever seen, it really blew my mind. The guys behind this app and game think on a whole different level. There's not much out there to compare it too (that I know of), but I found the whole concept to be very well done. From the visuals, to the sound effects/voices and music, it was very high quality and the use is very intuitive. The best proof though came from my three oldest kids (8, 6 and 4) who all took turns with it. They were hooked immediately. It not only provides them with a lot of enjoyment, but has also given my wife and I new leverage to encourage good behavior. "No Rocks in My Socks if you don't behave." works like a charm. Really great stuff, I would highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Revolutionary! *2012-03-02, version 1.5* This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time! Besides the fact that the game itself is a lot of fun, I absolutely love the idea of making books fun and interactive like this for kids. This has so much potential, it's exciting just to think about it. Cant wait to hear/see more! ### 5/5 — TOTALLY COOL! *2012-02-20, version 1.5* I have two children, 4 and 8. They both love it. It teaches a valuable lesson while having fun. It's great technology and Gracie.....is such a cutie. We have had nothing but a good time with it! ### 4/5 — What a fantastic story and idea! *2012-02-09, version 1.5* I simply cannot stop playing Rock Launcher! What a fun idea, and the story itself is very meaningful! I have tried of all the activities and would have to say Gracie dancing is my favorite! I would like to see some awards or achievements for Rock Launcher, and I will eagerly be awaiting updates! ### 1/5 — Too bad *2012-02-01, version 1.5* Looks so cute, but crashes on loading. Thankfully, I tried the free version first. I'd be mad if I had paid for it. Free just makes me disappointed. ### 5/5 — Rockin Rocks in My Socks App! *2012-01-13, version 1.5* The Rocks in My Socks story was created with a lot of heart and soul behind it. The book is also loaded with a lot of fun activities for kids to play with. The 3D Augmented Reality Activities really allow these activities to come to life as if you were right there living in the Dino world along with Oscar, Gracie and the rest of the Dino team. I shared these such activities with kids in the hospital and it really brightened their day as they loved learning through the activities and seeing how adorable the dinosaur characters are. Fantastic job to the team at Balance Studios. You rocked it!! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2012-01-11, version 1.0* Great idea and product. My three year old is loving it. While it takes time to get used to, it's simple once you use it enough. It is forcing close occasionally, though, on the piano page. Minor bug issue that doesn't take away from the application and enjoyment for myself or my son. Thank you! ## Frequently asked questions about Rocks In My Socks ### What is Rocks In My Socks?
