Being Global
© 2012 Little Pickle Press
Good content and a fun song combine with limited interactive design in this 24 screen app, adapted from a printed book by Rana DiOrio, illustrated by Chris Hill. The app playfully addresses the question, "what does it mean to be global?" and gives you the idea that the world would be a better place, if we all thought globally. Features include on-the-fly toggling between Spanish and English, narrated sentences and limited animation on each screen. It is easy to change pages or jump to another page. Other features include a coloring book, a journal where you can type your own sentences and drag and drop stickers onto a blank page, a set of lesson plans and a quiz. So why not a higher rating? The interactivity feels a little clunky. Being Global is published by Little Pickle Press. It was developed by Kite Readers, both of which are creations of SachManya Inc.
