Color Me, a coloring app best
Posted on February 18th, 2010
# UPDATED: Version 1.2 is now out with 11 new drawings to be colored! #
There are several coloring apps already out there and some of the are very good. But making a great coloring app is not an easy task and I believe that the guys who made Color Me actually got it.
What makes an app great are the little details. From the quality of the drawings, the quick response when you touch a part to color it, the interaction with the tools, the choice of colors. Color Me is got it all! My 3 yo said out of his head he loved it (believe, having seen a lot of apps, he is very picky)!
More info from the developer:
A coloring booklet for children at the age of 2-6 years. Diverse pictures and color palette will trigger the development of your child’s imagination and shape his/her senses.
A very friendly and intuitive application enables your child to easily create extraordinary pictures.
Only a touch of a finger and the selected element of the coloring will be filled with colors.
Shaking the iPhone will cause the cleansing of the picture and therefore provides endless possibilities for coloring of the pictures.
It is also possible to save the masterpieces of your child in the image gallery. Then the child will be able to place them on the desktop of your device..
Allow your child to discover the world of colors by means of “Color Me!”

Living Stories: King Midas and The Princess and the Pea
Posted on February 16th, 2010
Hurray, there is a new great maker of iPhone interactive books in town. DHX Interactive has published ‘Living Stories’, with two classic stories out already: King Midas and The Princess and the Pea. The books have great professional illustrations, animation, music and sound effects. You can choose from having the book read with the voice track that comes with or record up to four different voice overs of your own.
Unfortunately there seems to be no option to read the book without any voice over, which is something always nice to have when we want read to our kids. Hopefully something to be added to future updates and releases.
