Mandy And Andy Renovating iPhone/iPod Touch App Review


My daughter Olivia loves my iPhone. I own quite a few apps for her that she loves, mostly educational, some are bought some are free. Before she was even two years old she knew all her shapes, colors and can count 1 to 10. I owe it to some really awesome apps in my iPhone. Even though I own quite a few apps for her already, I'm always searching for a new one. What can I say, my 2 years old gets bored easy and she loves playing and trying new things.

We just recently discovered a game/book app called Mandy and Andy Renovating.


ABOUT THE GAME
Mandy And Andy Renovating - Mandy and Andy help their friend in renovating his cottage
Mandy, Andy, Uncle Tobias and Mortimer Mouse have come a long way to help their friend in renovating his cottage. When they’re arrived, it seems that the cottage is full of animals! How to solve the problem?
Open the flaps while listening the story to see which animals are hiding!

Main features:

  • Cuddly cat characters combined with an interesting story
  • Funny animations & clear and high quality graphics
  • Read yourself or listen the story
  • High quality narration in different languages
  • Languages: English, French and Simplified Chinese
  • Supports iPhones OS SDK 3.0 or later

MY REVIEW

Olivia really enjoyed playing this game. She had fun finding the hidden animals. When she discovers them she makes their animal sound. I have a couple of story book apps in my iPhone but they are not interactive. Also compare to the one I have, Mandy and Andy has an option Read to Me which is perfect for toddlers, like Olivia, who does not know how to read and an I Read My Self option for those who knows how or those learning to read. Olivia loves this app and has been playing with it many times. This is app is definitely a must have in your iPhone! You can buy Mandy and Andy at the iTunes Store for $1.99.



Disclaimer: I was given a free code to download the app.
No other compensation was given.
This is my honest opinion. Yours may be different.

Take Me Back Tuesday: The Day We Became ONE 6/23/06


"How do you play along?We all have tons of photos from the days before the digital camera. I figure if I just scan a few each week, eventually I will get them all safely into my computer. But you don't need a scanner to participate - Just find a photo that takes you back to another time. Every week you can come back here and share photos that "take you back." Maybe it is the bad hair we all had in the 80's or the bell-bottoms you swore were so hip in the 70's." - A Giveaway Addicted Mommy


Our Wedding Day...
My husband was so nervous he put the ring on the wrong finger!!

Upcoming Giveaways

You all how know much I love entering giveaways. I used to hate checking emails because I hate those forward and spam emails I always get. But now, checking emails is my favorite thing to do. I love getting those emails with YOU WON, CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'RE A WINNER in the subject line! My day is just not complete if I don't get a package in the mail. You won't believe how excited I get when I see the delivery guy or the mailman! However, lately since having another baby I have not entered as many as I would like to.And for that reason I have not been winning as much.

If you're like me (addicted to giveaways) I have a treat for your mail boxes! I have a few giveaways lined up. I have something to help you organize your kids bath toys, sponsored by CSN Store. I even have something for your little girls who love ballerinas. Make sure you subscribe so you will not miss any giveaways!

My January Wins

I love entering giveaways. However, I wish I have more time to enter them. I try to enter at bedtime when my kids are sleeping. These are my wins for the month of January. You can also go here to see what I won last month.

If you love giveaways as much as I do, feel free to enter my giveaways. They have very low entries so the odds of winning is higher.
