Discover Paris
© 2013 Edoki Academy
Good content meets an over talkative owl, in this tour/quiz about the city of Paris. Content includes 12 famous sites, such as Notre Dame, Le Louvre and more. Each site is presented, board game style, from a menu that includes purchase links; also some of the locations start with long downloads. The locations are well selected, and there's a lot of content to find. We liked the real photos and dynamic tools to answer questions, like the measuring tape that you can stretch with your fingers to answer a question about the height of the Eiffel tower. Weaknesses includes some clunky design features (the seed is hard to put away) and an owl that lectures excessively. Rather than letting you discover the wonders of Paris, as the title implies, the owl assumes you don't know anything, and proceeds to tell you about it. Contains in-app sales on the main menu, along with the scary message "your purchase is being processed" (before you enter your iTunes password).
