App Review: Whizzit 123
Whizzit 123 is a pretty solid app. It is designed to give children ages 2-5 a fun learning environment to tackle numbers and objects. Using audio cues kids are given a task, such as counting spirals. As each item is clicked a starry animation appears, along with a narrator voice counting each item.
After being selected, the item remains in perpetual motion or is highlighted to show it is no longer clickable. After all items are clicked a child’s voice proclaims,”Yayyyyyy!” and the narrator repeats the number counted and name of the object.
It’s a simple equation with fun animations, modest graphics and good audio cues. Overall I would consider this app, developed by Fair Lady Media, to be in the ‘B’ range, making it worth the modest $.99 pricetag. Kudos to Fair Lady Media.
