What it is: a set of 26 alphabet flashcards with 3D virtual animals.
What you do with it: point the camera of your iOS device at one of the cards (printed or displayed on another device) and the animal whose name begins with the letter on the card will appear. Touch the animal to hear the letter and the animal's name. Move the camera around the card (or rotate the card itself) to change the viewing angle. You can try also try several cards at a time to display more animals simultaneously.
What we liked: great, innovative concept, simple operation, good quality realtime 3D renderings of animals. Very entertaining, with high engagement factor, children will love playing around with the cards and animals while learning the letters of the alphabet.
What we didn't like: the animals don't move. The app requires some preparation (the cards must be printed first). Even though the AR implementation is very good, for best results good lighting and careful framing are necessary (that's why we decided to give it our Parental Assistance requirement).
Please note that (for obvious reasons) the app will work only on devices with the camera!
