Product Review of Daniel Tiger’s Grr-ific Feelings

Spread the love

This is a social and emotional intelligence app useful in early childhood. Some kids are familiar with Daniel Tiger, especially if they have watched the PBS series. The app includes Trolley, which kids can swing on to land on a mini-game; Sing-alongs with over 18 songs to choose from, and Photo Booth where kids mirror the expressions on Daniel’s face by tapping the “feeling face” icon. More soothing activities are prescribed in this game.

Website: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id899193797

What Users Love About the App

“Best Best BEST!😃😀😁😂😍 This app is very very fun. The best part is the drawing part. It is so fun.”

“BEST GAME EVER!! SO FUN!!! Made for all ages! Download this game! NOW!”

“Engaging characters, catchy songs, and simple activities welcome kids into an exploration of emotions in a friendly, feel-good way. The well-designed user interface is easy to navigate.”

“Age-appropriate, easy-to-remember songs and activities help kids expand emotional vocabulary and discover strategies for handling a wide range of feelings in healthy ways. Also includes a digital easel for using art to express emotions.”

“Daniel Tiger provides kids with clear audio instructions. Teachers can use the For Parents section to read details about the hows and whys of each activity.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“I hate it 😡 When I was 4-5 I loved this game. But now I’m 8-9 years old right now. There are a few different problems 🤷‍♀️ 1. I tried to do the photo both game 📷 but it didn’t show my face!”

“Bugs make it useless. The drawing portion of the game is riddled with bugs. Each time you press down a diagonal line appears across the screen and with no way to undo the mistake (bug) it ruins the drawing your child is trying to draw.”

“Broken Photo booth. iPad is running iOS 12 and every time we open the feelings photo booth, the app shuts down suddenly.”

“Every time we try to open the “feelings photo booth” the app quits. All permissions for savings photos were granted, both in the general iPad settings and in the app.”

“Crashes. We love this app, but it constantly crashes. Completely useless.”

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject.
