DJ Baby

My baby is about 6 1/2 months old and we are beginning the grabby phase. She’s trying to get everything within her reach with her slobbery fingers. I had her on my lap when I tried out DJ Baby and she was fascinated. Fascinated and determined to get her wet fingers on my iPhone. She’s been fairly indifferent towards “Baby” apps in the past so this is an endorsement, slobbery fingers and all.

DJ Baby is a simple screen. There’s a record turnstile, four colored buttons and a small button with music notes on it. Tap the different buttons to hear different “samples” and “scratches”.  I can’t tell you how un-hip it makes me feel to type those words. I’m so far removed from the DJ scene it’s not even funny so go ahead and laugh. You can also slide your finger on the record just like a real DJ. Tap the musical notes button and you’ll get some background music. Shake your iPhone and you’ll hear my favorite “track”. Keep tapping and sliding while you find your groove.

I think that little ones would be completely enthralled with DJ Baby. It’s a simple, colorful app that provides a good amount of silly fun. My two suggestions for the app are to add in more tracks and if there’s a way to record and replay your creations that would be excellent I think that feature would make the app even more appealing to the preschool and young grade school peeps.
