iPhone App Review – Chuck and Friends

30th July 2011 By Susan Mann Leave a Comment

Description:- “Bumpers up!” Join Chuck and his friends as you tap the screen to learn letters and words, play games and watch videos. This interactive reading adventure is ideal for young truck-lovers, fans of HUB TV and Hasbro toys. Read along as Chuck and his pals embark on a journey where they learn about honesty, teamwork and friendship. Bold graphics and bright colors make “Chuck and Friends: Friends for the Long Haul” an enjoyable and engaging way to learn to read. “Get ready for some four-alarm fun” a sample of fun with Chuck and Friends: Friends for the Long Haul Lite!

Chuck and his friends are playing their favourite game (chasing bad guys) when they encounter Flip, a new vehicle in the scrap yard. Chuck is not so sure about Flip and challenges him to a stunt contest. In the process, the two realize they can work together and become fast friends.


Features:-

• An original story of more than 27 “pages”
• Narrative-driven matching, touch and reveal and spelling activities progress the adventure and teach letter recognition, picture/word association and basic problem solving
• Read along, play along and record your voice: Users can read the story, have it read to them, or even record their own voice for a personalized reading experience.
• Words illuminate as Chuck tells the story, enhancing basic reading comprehension
• Randomized activities provide multiple learning adventures 


Review:- We are huge Chuck fans in our house, we have the books, the electronic cars, the stunt kit and some of chuck and his friends cars. He is a fun and cute little dumper truck, perfect for little hands. They are all so bright and colourful. So I was delighted to review the Chuck and Friends iPhone app. 

I don’t let the boys play on my phone all the time, but when they get a bit bored when I’m doing something or we are out somewhere and I need a distraction, the iPhone comes in handy. Both boys loved Chuck and Friends For the Long Haul iPhone app. The story comes to life with the images and the words being read aloud. If your child can read he or she can read them.

The activities are a lot of fun and help the children learn basic skills of problem solving and matching. Both my boys aged 4 and 2 could navigate through the story and activities with ease. They weren’t too easy but didn’t have them frustrated either.

I would highly recommend this app for those rainy days or when you are in need of some distraction. There is also a free version which is good, but I’d recommend paying the small amount for the all singing and dancing version on itunes.

Disclaimer:- I was sent this app in exchange for an honest review.
