App Icon Draws the attention on my 2 year old. Bright and colorful

Ease of Use Too much upfront info and cut scenes to get to the actual stories. As an adult I liked all the info, but for a kid this would be a distraction and they would just move to another app.

Overall Feel It was clever how the pop tabs create the animations. Just on the brink of being a bit too cheesy, but I actually liked it as kids can relate to regular books with same format.

What is Good? I loved the explanation of music and brain development on main screen. Learning objectives are stated.

What is Not Good? Too clunky and not really smooth to figure out what to do exactly. I cannot see a younger child being able to have fun with this app. The interface is just not that good. Ideas and premise are spot on, but usability is off.

Yahoo or Boo Boo - lost interest by interface
