Is It Any Good?
For FLICK HOME RUN ! to be fun, kids have to be old enough to understand and follow their family's rules about in-app purchases and Game Center participation. With cute graphics and an easy way to turn your finger into a baseball bat simulator, it seems like this could be a fun, mindless pastime for any baseball fan of almost any age. But the in-app purchase required at some points to "level up" means this app could end up costing you more than you bargained for. In addition, the parameters around what causes a strike and what sort of motion decides how far a ball goes aren't intuitive, so unless you're old enough and motivated enough to read the long "Help" primer, you or your kid won't know exactly what went wrong (or right) with the swings much of the time.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
