Is It Any Good?
FLASHCARDS FOR iPAD is one of the better apps of its kind in that it has bright and colorful graphics, a couple of games to allow more genuine interactivity, and a general aura of fun and whimsy. That being said, some of it, like the inclusion of the toilet flush and eye poke are a little off base. And a few of the noises associated with some of the images are perplexing. We might not know what a giraffe sounds like, but we're pretty sure it's not like the screeching whine this flashcard giraffe makes. Still, it's a cute and colorful free app.
