I really really really hate this app. The homepage is probably the best screen in this app and `i already have a few issues with is. Although it is an app for kids which means there should be interesting illustrations and bright colors, I feel like there is a bit too much going on. But the biggest problem `i have with this page is how DIFFICULT it is to ready. The app seems geared towards children aged 4-6. at this age they are very new readers. So for the font to be difficult to read could lead to a frustrating experience. 

I really like the idea of having a small character that pops up throughout the app experience to guide the child through the apps navigation. I will explore how I may incorporate this when I create the prototype of GeoKids.  

Although you can’t see it because it’s an image, there was some interesting animation on the loading and app launch screen. I usually get sort of irritated when an apps launch screen as an animation that is longer than 1 second, but I think it would be interesting for a children’s app. It is likely to capture their attention and get them excited for what is happening next. I also think it would be good to have some sort of animation for the loading screen because children’s attention span is short and if a screen is taking a bit too long to load and the loading screen is static and boring, the child may quickly lose interest.
