Zizu Cooks up a Tune
© 2011 Bubulu Labs
This animated music app looks good but could become costly, because of the way it asks children to buy more songs using the in-app sales feature. Each additional song costs $.99 each. There are two challenge levels, including a Training Mode that gives cues to the child to tap the right keys on the piano, and the recording feature allows them to sing their own tunes. The Show Musical Notes feature overlays the piano keys with the notes to give the amateur user a chance to play around with the keys more confidently. There is also a Forgiving mode that lets the child tap keys anywhere on the app, and still create in-tune melodies.
