Tap anywhere to feed the bug. Tickle it to hear it laugh. Practice foods, colors, numbers, the alphabet, and spatial memory. Pizza and Hot Dogs make the bug hilariously fat. Find out what chili peppers and onions can do. Catch the fly and see what happens. Change backgrounds, numbers, letters and even turn the bug into a cockroach. Make up your own games: "Behind what color is the watermelon?" "What number is the strawberry?" "Is it safe to eat a number 14?" "What does the letter M stand for?" "Stooooop, the cockroach eats too much pizza!" "Does the ladybug like leather or soft cloth?" Made by a parent. No advertising, no in-app sales, no timers, no links, total privacy. Just a simple and fun app for you and your 1 - 6 year old. Visit www.hottrix.com/kids to learn about the new us!
Finally an app that gets it!
iBug lets me play WITH my daughters and allows me to include stuff around the house to make up our own games. We laugh a lot and when I need to run a bath or empty the dishwasher they continue to play our game or invent new scenarios. I’m super conservative when it comes to screen-time but this here is more like a hilarious extension of all the tools and toys we already use. It adds a cartoonish dimension to everything we do. It enters and exits our play time without fuss or whining, something very few fun toys manage to do. Highly recommended.
Miracle Food
My 3YO is a fussy eater. Yesterday she asked for a carrot because she wants to munch as loudly as the ladybug. I don't see one, I said. Press the number six, she replied. Speechless. Thank you, iBug!
Open educational goals
I haven't seen an app (or toy/game for that matter) that's as open for parental interpretation as this one. For example: It's up to the parent to narrate why the bug gets "fat" or "strong" or "balloonish". The same goes for all other gags with snacks in this app (mainly veggies and fruit). It supports just about any food-habit philosophy out there, which is great if you work with many kids from different backgrounds. Everything is made for kids' fingers and when I watch my son (2) concentrate to tickle the bug I realize that he is refining his motor skills while giggling of joy.
