Eye Contact - Zoo

What it is: a small interactive zoo (with a special activity for teaching eye contact).

What you do with it: interact with the main character or in the animals in the zoo ('talk', compliment, share sweets etc.) by tapping them or choosing an option from the menu.
Before you enter the zoo scenes you need to unlock them by playing a short game (recalling numbers displayed in children's eyes).

What we liked: the concept of using the eye-contact activity as key 'unlocking' the main activity. Extensive information for parents.

What we didn't like: navigation is a bit difficult, rather limited interaction (when you touch an animal it will just make a small movement and that's it). No names of the animals are given. Interaction with the character possible only via a drop-down menu, when you use one of the options there is no way to go through it one more time or to go back to the two other options. No sound in the opening 'recall the number' activity.

Additional note: the producer recommends this app for Special Needs children (autism or Asperger syndrome).
