Hi everyone,
Happy Holidays and Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate.
I’m a new app developer and started learning iOS a month ago. I’ve been trying to make an app every 2-3 days on something I’m passionate or interested in. Recently, I wanted to make was a fun kids friendly app for my cousins.
Recently, I’ve been spending a lot of time improving this app to be more engaging for kids.
I’m always looking for ways to improve the experience so feel free to give me any sorts of criticism / feedback. I am currently working on adding more audios for animal as well as adding an audio description for each animal. Also, tinkering around with the Rive framework to make more engaging visuals for kids.
Let me know what you think!
Please take a look and let me know what you think! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/discover-animal-sounds/id6471942184
Thank you!
Here are some updates I’m working on that should be released in a few weeks:
- Interactive Animal Animations - “play with [x] animal which will make [x, y, z] sound depending on movement”
- More Animals + variety of sounds
(Accidentally posted this on Saturday instead of Sunday so deleted that one and reposting again)
UPDATE 11/29/23: Made the whole app with premium features free for now. Will work on building a better kids app and adding to the educational and entertainment value for kids.
If anyone has any feedback, please let me know on how I can improve. Thanks for taking the time.
Thank you to those who already emailed me. I realized it’s best to make this free for now and source as much feedback as possible.
Thanks everyone for their honest thoughts - especially those who gave feedback that was constructive and actionable.
Look I think it’s great you’ve made an app.
I’ll be honest, despite hundreds of this type of app, I also tried the same, and I’m so disappointed that yours somehow got accepted in the store yet mine didn’t.
They told me they weren’t accepting this type of app anymore which I actually thought was fair enough, but your UI isn’t great at all.
I’ll try to attach screenshots of mine in comparison. Now mine were AI generated, I acknowledge that, but my kids loved it and I made mine because of apps like yours which don’t look great.
Keep making though 👍🏻
Because his app is being around for much longer. It’s in version 8
Features I’ve added since the feedback from this post:
- 3 sounds per animal
- 45+ animals
- Audio descriptions
Added more ways to access premium feature
- 3 day free monthly trial ($.99 monthly fee)
- Lifetime Price access to everything ($4.99 one time cost)
Thank you to those who mentioned about price. I appreciate it.
