Great Eric Carle artwork, but the content is a bit light.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say Not yet rated
Kids say (3):

My Very First App is good at what it does, but unfortunately, it doesn't do an awful lot. The color identification games it offers are useful and have varying degrees of difficulty, making the app useful for a range of age groups. And Eric Carle's distinctive artwork is, as always, wonderful to look at, but you're paying a premium for it here. From a strictly educational standpoint, you can get a more complete set of learning tools for the same amount somewhere else. But if you're a fan of Carle and willing to pay a bit extra for it, this app will easily satisfy you.

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.
