It’s no secret that my kids are huge JumpStart fans. Not only do we have an online membership, we also own almost all of their mobile apps. Eph will spend endless hours playing Math Blaster and Jet Pack and Lu loves JumpStart Preschool that helps her practice a variety of skills. All their games have high quality graphics and an easy user interface, perfect for the youngest gamer.
For this review, the kids and I were asked to review JumpStart’s newest mobile app, Pet Rescue. Pet Rescue is an educational based game for the 3-6 year old age group. It encompasses over 50 interactive skills including vocabulary and number recognition.
Eph pretty much does all his “playing” without supervision and even though this game is made for a younger age group, I knew he would have fun “rescuing” the animals. It didn’t take him very long to have a few pets saved and he clearly enjoyed playing the games. He did say that the games were a bit too easy but just like in the online game, he liked being able to choose a character and run around the familiar land of JumpStart. After playing Pet Rescue, he immediately wanted to get online and play the full game.
When it came time for Lu to “review” the app, we curled up in the lazy boy and “played” together. At 4, she still has a hard time getting started on her own. The first thing we did was create her “Jumper.” This is her online persona. She had a great time creating her pink haired little mini-me before heading off to one of the 5 lands to rescue animals. We played several of the games and she never seemed to grow bored. She did need some help getting started on most of them but after I showed her what to do, she caught on quiet quickly. She and I were not as quick to find pet’s to rescue. Instead we did a lot more wandering around and checking out all the different features. She has played the game multiple times now and does so with very little assistance.
JumpStart Pet Rescue Mobile App is available for $7.99 on Itunes, Google Play Store and Amazon Kindle.
