Evaluation comments:
“There is an activity where you bake cookies with the other user that she loves.”
“This is a great tool to engage with loved ones from afar.”
“I love that this allows my daughter to connect with family and friends in a fun and engaging way.”
“My daughter has had a lot of fun connecting with her grandparents and playing games together. We’ve also asked our friends in different states to download it so she can play with them as well. It’s a great way to connect with far away loved ones in a way that keeps preschoolers and young kids focused and attentive. Usually when we FaceTime my parents, my daughter is quiet and doesn’t want to sit and talk. With Kinoo, she is engaged and having fun with simple games like cake decorating, rocket to the moon, and puzzles to name a few. The game difficulty is just right for her age group. There are more challenging games for older kids as well. I look forward to the new games coming soon.”
“My daughter loves playing the games just like she does on her tablet, but it’s more fun with a friend”
