Elfishki and the Unwelcome Guest iPad App review



Elfishki and the Unwelcome Guest
An iPad app for ages 6-9 available via the iTunes Store.

Brilliantly done graphics and stunning color! Keep the kids entranced with this cute story app.

Once upon a time, on the beautiful Rainbow Island in the middle of the Sparkling Sea lived magical little people called Elfishki.

Some of them could fly like butterflies and some could swim like mermaids. They shared the island with animals who could speak and trees who did not talk, but understood everything. All in all, this was a place where miracles happened every day.

One morning, an ice cream seller named Vince and his friend, a dragon named Brungildo, went to their garage for the freezer boxes. But they couldn't get inside. Vince kept putting his key into the keyhole, but it would just fall out—as if somebody pushed it back. Vince peeked into the keyhole and was dumbfounded—inside the lock was a tiny blue person with a tail...




On the iPad app you will find~

1. Original, not found anywhere else captivating texts, designed to develop your child’s conscious reading skills - according to the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.

2. Stunning interactive art, classic animation and videos.

3. Professional Audio Voice over of the story, so your child can listen along with the text.

4. THREE(3) Questions on every page of the book specifically designed to help your child analyze the text, boost their imagination and make predictions about the story.

5. A bonus game specifically designed to test your child's attention to detail - Help Jeanso Pack his Backpack.

For more information about more stories, please visit our website where you can find a list of fairy tales all based on our Elfishki characters.



I was totally in awe with this app, my daughters loved the animations and it kept there interest. It was educational and playful all rolled into one?

We will definitely be looking into more apps from this company to add to our homeschool iPad library.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

TapToTalk :Socially acceptable communication app




It just amazes me how far we have come with technology and the numerous applications that surface daily for people of all levels of knowledge. This technological innovation is also affordable to anyone. As a wife to a husband with disabilities and a nurse that works with all types of patients in the ED, I was amazed by the application "Tap to Talk". A simple application that works on all kinds of devices. It was very easy to install, I put the free version on my iPad and my iPhone. 
The freedom this app now gives a person with a disabled child or spouse is wonderful!
I also asked one of my nonverbal patient's (via pen and paper) at work on day if she would mind looking at the app via my iPhone and telling me her honest opinion of it. Before I knew it she was smiling and laughing with her daughter and they were discussing buying an iPad to add the app. Due to a stroke she had been left without the ability to speak clearly anymore and her family was having a hard time some days understanding her needs. Using the "Tap to Talk" app she was able to tell me, her nurse, that she was thirsty and that she needed to go to the bathroom and I understood her easily. Score one for the team!

TapToTalk Designer enables a user to customize the application to a more personable style and also adds a library of over 2600 photos, ability to add a recognizable voice, upload your own photos, choose the language and so much more. 
The cost is so worth the smile of the person you are helping to be verbal, sometimes for the first time ever. Brochure here 

Give your non-verbal child the portable, customizable, socially acceptable communication app.

Play your albums with any or all of these free TapToTalk apps
iPhone/iPad/iPod, Kindle Fire, Nook Color/Tablet, Nabi, Android, PlayBook
and Web Apps are available free with sample albums

As a blogger, I have been given the opportunity to advertise this material and I am being compensated for my review. Credit to TapToTalk for images and links. Be sure to follow them on Pinterest and other social media sites.
