Artoo è un’applicazione per smartphone e tablet che, con la guida di un simpatico orso, racconta l’arte dal punto di vista dei bambini e permette alle famiglie un’interazione completamente nuova coi contenuti artistici. Artoo accompagna i bambini all’interno del mondo dell’artista e dei suoi lavori, poi li invita a registrare ciò che sentono e immaginano di fronte a queste opere. I bambini potranno riascoltare i loro contributi e i genitori condividerli, dando così vita ad un grande racconto collettivo sull’arte riascoltabile da tutti gli iscritti alla community di Artoo.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Artoo at every 2 months against Calepino's every 7 months. Calepino's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
