A fun app for young learners. As the SimplyTouch name suggests, by tapping and moving your finger or stylus on a touch screen, - shapes will follow your movement around the screen. Change shapes, make the sparkling effects and bubbles follow the touch. 16 different effects give variety for a short fun experience. SimplyTouch also has an optional sound input, that will softly change the background colors and effects as the sound or voice input changes. Simply Touch can be controlled with a mouse pointer, touch screen , XBox controller and the Microsoft Adaptive controller. With the Microsoft Adaptive controller and XBox controller, the Dpad allows you to select the shapes and move the pointer around the screen. A, B , X & Y buttons change background effects and move to next touch effects. If you have an external joystick this can also control and lead the shape movement. Simply Touch also has a microphone input that can change the background colors based on the level of sound input. SimplyTouch contains no adverts and does not require an app login.
