Play’n'Say Vehicles! Launched!

November 4, 2009

The great news today is that our first application, Play ‘n’ Say Vehicles, is now available on iTunes! We’re excited about the app’s innovative speech recognition feature and we’re really looking forward to feedback from parents like you!

It was great to watch kids testing the launch version in the past weeks. Kids love to explore, so they were excited by the different scenes and vehicles they could get to know with Play ‘n’ Say Vehicles! They were also really interested in what would happen when they said the vehicle name right. Positive feedback – fun animations, cheering voices – is so important for a motivating experience! That’s one of the reasons we decided to include a Basic Mode in the launch version of the Play ‘n’ Say Vehicles – we wanted the younger kids to also be encouraged by the animations and positive feedback. It’s definitely something we’ll include in sequel applications.

We were also really pleased to see the different ways parents can get involved when playing the app. One parent noticed the variations in day and night scenes and decided to make a game of it: for each scene she asked her child, “Is it day or night?” Her daughter was then not only excited about the next vehicle, she was also excited about what she could notice about the context!

For kids, every scene is a world to explore and a chance to learn. They’ll have hours of fun in the world of vehicles and will look forward to the exciting themes of our sequel applications!
