PlayDate Digital’s App My Little Pony Party of One Review

Posted by on November 18, 2013

As a member of the Mosaic Reviews Team my family was given the opportunity to review PlayDate Digital’s My Little Pony Party of One App on our iPad.  I jumped at the chance knowing that my kids would love it! I was right.  Little Miss Hugs A Lot, Little Miss FunShine, and Mr. Thoughtful all fought over the chance to play it first.  They wound up with Little Miss Hugs A Lot sitting in the middle holding the iPad with the older kids helping her work her way through it (not that she needed the help, but you know how it is! LOL).  They love playing the app while it reads the story to them and tapping on the interactive parts.  The parent page is easy to access and shows you how many pages were read and how many words have been clicked on. To me, that’s not a huge feature. But is a nice bonus if I choose to look at it.  It only gets annoying when Little Miss Hugs A Lot doesn’t change pages and has it read the same page over and over and over and…like she’s doing now – LOL but she is having fun with the interactive parts, I can’t ask for more than that can I?  Overall, I am pleased with this app and as I have said the kids love playing it.

PlayDate Digital’s My Little Pony Party of One App can be found in the app store for iPad and iPhone, both are $2.99.
