Kapu Tickle is fun for young kids! They can poke the retro style characters, and they will laugh and move about. In addition, if they pull the string below the character, the character will turn into an entirely new creation, often a mixture of different characters, right before their eyes! The laughter of these creations is contagious! There is an option to change the background photo to a picture of somewhere of your child’s really enjoys. The pictures are not stored on your iPad’s camera roll or tagged in any way, so the privacy of your child is protected. If you want to introduce your child to the camera on the iPad in a safe way, this is the app to use! Inside the app, there is a square button, on the left side of the page, that takes a picture to change the background to place that you or your child chooses. On the right, there is a similar button, but this button is to change the character’s face within the app. Your child can take a picture of themselves or you, and so on. Again, these pictures are not stored on your iPad.
The graphics are very bright, and appealing to young children, and the app is extremely easy to navigate, which makes it ideal for little ones. On the home page, there is a picture of a child holding their parent’s hand. If you tap this twice, you can access the app store to buy the developer’s other app, track how much long your child uses the app, set limits to how long they are allowed to use the app, follow the developer on Facebook, link to terms/support/website, and rate/review the app.
Impression: This app is definitively good for teaching cause and effect to little ones, as well as prompting them to explore their world, and to promote creativity. I think is also great for just fun family time. I love the unique graphics too! I believe children, especially younger ones, will enjoy the ability to safely use the camera. Even though there are no in-app purchases, there is a link to the developer’s other app, via the iTunes ,on the home page in the parent’s section that is not very difficult to get past. Due to that, buyers need to have their settings adjusted appropriately. This is true for almost every app you will buy. My only wish is that this section was locked with an arithmetic question or a password. I do want to mention, that I love that you can monitor and/or limit your child’s use of the app. Overall, I this is a fun app for young kids, and the “safe camera” option absolutely sets it apart from others!
