Is It Any Good?
At first glance, OLIVIA looks like a simple coloring program: tap the color you want, tap an area on the "sticker," and it fills in the color. But once you start mixing colors, the app really shines. With the three primary colors, plus black and white, the app allows kids to mix colors by dipping the brush in the paint, or dipping in the water to clean the brush and start over. Once the sticker is painted, the app briefly animates the image before restoring it to its two-dimensional "sticker" look. With six different backgrounds and sticker sets to choose from, there is a lot of replayability and kids -- especially fans of the cute pig -- will enjoy the variety.
