Die Mazzy App ist zur Verwendung mit dem Roboter Mazzy von KOSMOS. Sie wurde für Kinder ab 8 Jahren Jahren entwickelt und vermittelt im Zusammenspiel mit dem Roboter spielerisch die Grundlagen von Robotik und Programmieren. MAZZY ist ein Roboter, der mit dem Ziel entwickelt wurde, Kinder in die Welt der pädagogischen Robotik einzuführen. Sie können damit auf einfache und intuitive Weise das Programmieren erlernen. MAZZY führt die Befehle aus, die das Kind über das Bedienfeld am Gehäuse des Roboters oder über diese kostenlose App programmiert. Die App beinhaltet vier Bereiche, in denen Ihr Kind verschiedene Funktionen spielerisch entdecken kann: FAHREN mit 2 Modi: Hier kann Mazzy direkt über Buttons oder über den Lagesensor des Mobilgerätes gesteuert werden. CODING mit 2 Modi: PROGRAMMIERUNG – hier können Bewegungen, Sounds und Gesichtsausdrücke des Roboters einfach und intuitiv programmiert werden. Mit dem SIMULATOR kann die programmierte Sequenz vor der Übertragung überprüft werden. BUDDY mit 2 Modi: Unter EMOTIONEN lassen sich Sounds und Gesichtsausdrücke an den Roboter übertragen, und TANZEN lässt den Roboter die tollsten Bewegungsabläufe ausführen. SPIELEN: Hier können echte Parcours aufgebaut werden, und der Roboter kann mithilfe des Infrarot-Sensors Hindernisse erkennen. Wer Mazzy am schnellsten durch den Parcours bringt, gewinnt das Spiel App herunterladen und der Spaß kann beginnen! ***** Fragen, Verbesserungsvorschläge und Feature-Wünsche?

EMYO

Grow app confidently! The hybrid creature EMYO is half fox, half human. It takes children on an interactive and playful journey into space, where different planets are discovered along the way. The mission is to make children stronger by using the app: They playfully learn what they need for their daily lives, and what is often neglected at school. EMYO is an abbreviation that stands for “Empower Yourself.” With EMYO, children aged eight and up learn how they can grow internally and achieve their goals. It promotes a growth mindset that can help children with many things in everyday life. The app was developed with the support of educational experts, but is not intended to feel like learning. Above all, it’s supposed to be fun. The app is lovingly designed by hand and easy to use. The special user guidance allows each child to play at their own speed and interactively discover outer space. Each planet leads to a new mission, thereby giving children more and more self-confidence. CONTENTS: - Welcoming planetary setting in which to play and discover - Mythical creature EMYO is an interactive companion - Six missions that make children more self-confident and courageous - SpaceBall and its 30 levels (a ball game) - Interactive passport with game progress - Also developed with a lot of care for one’s own children YOUR INPUT: We have tested the app extensively to find and fix all bugs. Nevertheless, should there be any problems, please send an email to hallo@refutura.de. We will take care of the issue as quickly as possible! Unfortunately, we cannot provide support for comments in the app store. Thank you very much! SELECTED AND SUPPORTED BY A JURY: EMYO’s development was supported by the Film- und Medienstiftung NRW. *** Terms of use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: KOSMOS Mazzy at none against EMYO's 2. KOSMOS Mazzy also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). EMYO's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
