#The Review
Oh what a worry wince is, With it's classic artwork, original music and it's delightful tale, Wince the Worry Bug is wonderful app for kids of all ages to find help and guidance to talk about their worries and make them go away. This funny and engaging story allows children to find out what it is like to 'feed' a worry bug, by feeding it with anything that is bothering them and watch him 'munch' it right away.
This story book app has great animations and rolling storyboards that really bring the story alive. Full of imagination and fun interactive parts to keep both young and old entertained, the #fourlittletesters found it quite funny. A job well done by writer and Illustrator 'Andi Green' and made possible on the iPad by the extreme talents of iMagine machine.
All the testers love to read books, and this was no exception, they loved how they could record their own worries, that Wince worried about everything and that his worries often overwhelmed him. They especially loved how the worry bug grew and grew, and said 'Bring it on! I'm still Hungry!
We're sure that all of us have worries, but now we all know what to do, keep busy do well and the worry bug wont bother you.
Look & Feel: 5/5 - Full of original artwork and really upbeat music
Enjoyment: 5/5 - A pleasant and rewarding story... with a happy ending and plenty of laughs on the way.
Playability: 4/5 - The kids enjoyed recording their worries and helping the WorryWoo do just what he had to do,
Value for Money: 4/5 - A lite version is available to try, but at $2.99 it's a fair price, for such a high quality production of a published story.
