In a Nutshell- OK how many of you are glued to your iPhone, iPad and iPod while laying in bed at night, anxiously awaiting that drawing, recently sent by your friend on Draw Something. You lay there and watch the pastel colors move across your screen and after a few minutes you are presented with a somewhat difficult to discern picture of Madonna, Big Bird or, my favorite to date, Tim Tebow. Well all of this fun and excitement is now available to our children, and can be a fantastic and exciting way to get the little ones drawing, creating and putting their imaginations to work!
Cost: $1.99
Praise: I love the theory of this app. Children are able to view drawings from other children and take their guesses as to what they are, however unlike many other apps, there is no registration and no user names required, and therefore a users identity is completely private. Drawings are viewed by moderators before being sent which insures the safety of what our children will be viewing. There are some minor flaws that I have encountered such as drawings not coming through in a timely manner, however this has only happened on a few occasions to date and seems to be taken care of in most recent weeks.
The Bottom Line: A great App. with some minor kinks that are still being worked out. It is a great opportunity for children to use their creativity in a private and safe manner to send their masterpieces to other players without sharing their identity, and furthermore allows them to challenge their perceptual systems as they guess the drawings of their peers!!! I LIKE IT!!!!
