Pros and cons of Homes by Tinybop app for iPhone and iPad

Homes by Tinybop app good for

So much to explore in this one- lets you snoop around all different types of homes. Unique and fun approach to exposing kids to diff ways of life. A+

I like the game but it would be more fun if you added people! also when I leave a room the and come back the stuff i did in that room disappears please fix or I might consider deleting the app

Love this game but please add people that can do the task you need done and can also hold things.....thank you

Some bad moments

When I start to play this game it is very fun but it gets boring quickly. I would not recommend you to get this game

I just purchased this app tonight because I like tinybop apps. To say I love it would be a gross understatement. It has quality graphics. It allows the user to see all items labeled in several different languages. You get to maneuver throughout the app as if it is your home, making meals doing laundry, and cleaning. Great for little ones. I highly recommend it!

I would really like if you guys or creators please make more countries. Otherwise the game is great!!!

!Yemen house will not let you access all rooms! Things get a little sloppy via drag and drop. Definitely a few bugs here and there ( but with all the little things to access thats to be expected for a new app). Despite this: great concept and love the look of the environments. Very cool for kids to discover and learn. I have extended family thats Arabic and it was so cool for them to translate items from Arabic to English. If you keep adding more houses and fixing the bugs this app will def go far.

I think this is a great for kids to learn about different cultures of the world. I would recommend this app to anyone. I think there should be a home that reflects European Culture; for example a Parisian apartment in Paris or a Spanish Villa. But U.S, Yemen, Guatemala, and Mongolia is a good start. Then again this is a new app so Im sure their will an update soon. There are some bugs that should be fixed soon: • Fix Dishwasher in U.S home • Make all rooms in Yemen home accessible • Make "moving and dragging" easier to do OVERALL THIS IS AN AMAZING APP

only displays upside down? Content does not interact well or often. Good idea but poorly executed.
