What it is: an app for creating and launching a virtual space rocket.
What you do with it: the app contains:
- simple 'create and fly your rocket' activity: put the rocket together from the pieces provided, launch it using your voice (the louder you scream during the countdown the further you will fly); after you land (on a random planet or star) you can learn some facts about the planets and the Solar System
- instructions for building your own cardboard rocket
- a virtual launching pad (you can launch the 'real' cardboard rocket you build from there) with extra sound and smoke effects
What we liked: the concept, the illustrations, ease of use, fun factor, sound effects, the option to insert your own photo as the 'astronaut'.
What we didn't like: limited educational value: the scientific 'facts' about the planets are a bit random, they are not too kid-friendly, there is no narration etc). Prominent link to the Game Center.
