MCB – All the Colors in the World

All the Colors in the World has a nice message but it never really really caught the attention of my children. The narration is well done but the illustrations didn’t pull them in. I do like that the app allows you to record yourself telling the story. When you’re in record mode you don’t see the words so you can make up your own version if you like. I also like the fact that you can lock the toolbar so children can’t stop the story once it’s begun. The other thing that I appreciated about this app was being able to look at the screens as a group so I could then tap on the screen where I wanted to begin. I always like having the option to not begin at the beginning all over again.
*Update 6/12- You can show the text when you’re in recording mode. You’ll need to activate “show text” in the settings before you go to record. Sorry about that!

Thanks. Something different from the traditional story books on iPhone. My son would like to try. Thank you.
