Quality

When kids first open the app, they’re greeted with soothing background music and a quote. From there, they’re taken to the main screen which features a tree surrounded by four different icons: a leaf, a flower, a stump, and tree roots. Each icon takes kids to a different section of the app so they can learn about a different aspect of plant life. The app is further broken up within each section, making it easy for kids to make their way logically through the content. All of the content in the app loads well and works properly. Kids will find it easy to interact with the interactive illustrations that help them understand different parts of a plant and processes related to plant life.

Education

Teachers and parents will find that this app works well as an alternative to a traditional textbook. Kids can learn about different aspects of plant life, from the makeup of a plant cell to the process of pollination. The app is divided into four distinct sections that are divided into smaller sections. Each section contains text and animated or interactive illustrations to help enhance the text. Kids do have do a lot of reading in the app, but the text is written in fairly kid-friendly language and supported by plenty of visual details to help improve comprehension. The app could benefit from pronouncing a few of the more difficult words for kids, but teachers and parents can help with that too.

Entertainment

Developers have attempted to take science content that can sometimes be presented dryly and spruce it up without the content getting lost in the process. Through the use of interactive models and animated illustrations, kids will enjoy learning about the different parts of plants and related processes, such as pollination. For example, kids can tap on different parts of a plant cell to read information descriptions. They can also release pollen into the air and help pollinate a flower.
