Description

I Spy with Lola is a fun, bright, cheerful and entertaining app for Kids. The app is easy to use and understand, with clear instructions on-page from Lola the very friendly Panda.

With a brilliant maths-based lock to access the language change menu, it is unlikely that your child will accidentally get into the settings or ‘about’ sections, or the app store! Phew!

Colourful and child friendly images and instructions guide your child to the game, allowing them to choose a level suitable to their development. Through game-play your child will unlock the medium and hard levels so they don’t advance too fast.

As the child plays, they are prompted to interact with the screen by “I Spy’ing” objects within the picture. With cute little animations to keep the child engaged and entertained, your child will master and move around the world map, unlocking levels, exploring environments, and increasing their vocabulary.

This app was played by me (mummy) as well as my son 4(Aspergers) and boys 3, 7 and girls 4 and 5 (PDD-NOS) all whom LOVED the game, and were entertained. I will certainly be looking for more Apps by this developer, certainly if they continue to use the loveable Lola Panda.

I would like to see an Australian location on the world map.
