Plants HD

What it is: an app teaching about plants and their lifecycle.

What you do with it: start by 'arranging' the lifecycle of a plant. Explore the available sections (fruits,seeds,dispersal,germination,plant and trees,flowers,polination): view photos, read the text (or have it read out to you by the narrator). You can also take the quiz (answer questions related to the subject) to test your knowledge of the subject.

What we liked: the concept, good educational content with many small 'extras' (e.g. all photos are captioned, there are some short interesting 'facts' thrown in etc.) , simple operation.

What we didn't like: limited interactivity (think of the app as a more sophisticated 'viewer' for curated texts and photos). Navigation could be more consistent. The 'quiz' activity is very simple.
For younger (or poorly reading) kids this app should be considered as a 'teacher/parent tool', not an app your child will engage in by himself/herself.

Bottom line: a simple but well put together educational app.
