Product Review of Peek-a-Zoo

Peek-a-Zoo is a game that teaches kids to identify animals. Animals are dancing, eating, wagging their tails, wearing sunglasses, sleeping, and doing many other fun things in this game! It was designed for toddlers. Each page on the app poses a different question, and it requires the kid to identify a specific animal. Learn the names of animals: alligator, cat, chicken, cow, dog, elephant, giraffe, hippo, lion, monkey, mouse, panda, penguin, pig, seal, skunk, walrus, zebra, and an imaginary “squirgle”! Listen to jazz and classical versions of favorite kids songs made especially for this app.

What Users Love About the App
“My 3 year old twins love this app! It is very entertaining, silly, and educational at the same time.”
“So Cute! Absolutely charming.”
What Users Dislike About the App
“Good idea with the questions about emotions etc. but doesn’t offer a lot of content. My toddler plays it occasionally but never for very long.”
“The top left side of the intro page is a large ad for their other apps, with appealing colorful cartoons. It is HUGE compared to the small, boring arrow in the right hand corner, which is the button to start the game. A toddler will try to touch the colorful ad, and then be sent to the app store instead of the game. This is ridiculous to advertise to a 2 year old.”
This could be a really good app since it asks “who” questions, includes concepts, and changes the character answers for the questions. But the same set of questions repeats over and over. This could be expanded to include many more basic concepts, as well as more “wh” questions types. It could start at the simple levels then increase to more complex ones and still challenge the 2-3 year old age group.”
“Limited function asking Who-questions with some answers not very obvious to a young child.”
“This app was not what I expected, and I’m disappointed that I paid for it. My recommendation is to save your money. There are free educational apps out there that have more educational value.”
