Splish Splash Inn
Is It Any Good?
SPLISH SLASH INN lets your child pick one of ten rooms from the screen, numbered from one to ten. Within each room is the corresponding number of some type of sea creature: seahorses, jellyfish, clown fish, and so on. As the creatures move onto the screen, a voice counts them out loud. The animals can be moved around the screen just by touching and dragging them, and they also float around when you tilt the device. In addition, each animal makes a different musical noise when they're touched. You can set the language to English, Spanish or French.
It's a very simple app without a lot of extras, but its perfect for younger kids who enjoy colorful sea animals and sounds. The English mode includes a small child's voice in addition to the regular voice, but the Spanish and French only comes in an adult voice.
