Violet and the Mysterious Black Dog – Promo Codes

October 29, 2010

In August I discovered the first Violet app for the iPad. Violet is a curious child and her stories tell of her adventures as the inquisitive Phantom Girl. Phantom Girl is a detective of sorts and in the app Violet and the Mysterious Black Dog she sets out to solve a mystery of a cute, black, furry variety. The illustrations in the second app are as much fun as they were the first time around. The first app was great but improvements have definitely been made and this time things are better than ever. Narration has been added to the story and I think that’s terrific for younger readers. More interactivity has also been added. Screens have objects that are outlined in yellow dotted lines, tap on one of these objects and you’ll be rewarded with animation or another illustration will pop out. Many of these objects have been woven into the story as clues for the Phantom Girl to gather. Plenty of detail and humor have been added to the illustrations and “pop-outs”. They’re well worth paying attention to and they truly made the story for me.

Additional Violet apps are on the way to the iPad and I say keep them coming!

Ready for some Violet? I’ve been given ten promo codes to give away. These are for the iPad app, they won’t work on the iPhone. If you’ve got access to the US App Store and would like to give Violet a try feel free to take a code. Please leave a comment letting other readers know which code you’ve taken. Also – don’t forget to leave feedback in iTunes!

    Price when Reviewed: $2.99

      I grabbed the first code. Actually, I tried the second code first and it wasn’t recognized.

      Thank you so very much! I used number 3, 4FN96WPAJWXJ. The first one was used and the second one did not work.

      Not taking a code as I bought it a couple of weeks ago but it’s a great app for kids. Hope there’ll be a promo for the first book too.

    Chalk Walk

    Chalk Walk is a very unique iPad app. It has been developed to help your children improve the pincer grip they use to hold a pencil.

    What I Do

    I review iPhone apps for moms. I have a decent grasp of techy things but the technical guts (for lack of a better word) of how the apps work are beyond me. So my reviews will be practical and purely subjective. Reviews for moms by a real life, actual mom. My kids will vouch for me.
