What it is and what you do with it: an interactive adaptation of the classic tale with extra activities. About 11 interactive scenes.
Listen to the narration, tap the characters for interactions and dialogues.
What we liked: the concept/the story. Illustrations and animations. Many interactive elements complementing the storyline. Lots of extras (e.g. different endings for the story, use the device's camera to fix the broken mirror, finding the owl hiding in various places etc). Narration, dialogues, sounds and sound backgrounds. Ease of use. No distracting elements. Overall quality of the app.
What we didn't like: we wish there was more control over the dialogues (they get a bit random at times).
