Fitoons

This Toca-Boca-like app features six comical animal/people characters. For the most part, the app is playful and fun, but there are a few minor issues in the interactive design that should be noted. The idea is to help you make healthy choices about food and exercise, by complete 20 short mini-game style workouts, and then eating good food. As you work out, you unlock food items that you can make in the kitchen. There's not much realism -- you can blend a loaf of bread, fry a chocolate bar or microwave an apple for example, with no consequences. Features include the ability to dress characters in different outfits, the ability to win stars to unlock more characters and foods. There is a vegan setting, and the content includes 45 foods that can be cooked on six kitchen appliances, allowing you to boil, fry, bake, chop and blend. So why not a higher rating? The exercises can get tedious, and the connection between eating and health is vague. Learn more at www.avokiddo.com/fitoons.
