Pros and cons of Backyard at Twilight: A Stella and Sam Adventure app for iPhone and iPad

Backyard at Twilight: A Stella and Sam Adventure app good for

This is such a beautiful app. I love the charcters and story, and my children love it too! It is one of my three year old (with Autism)s favorites, and he is able to navigate through it easily and return to his favorite part - the fireflies! He giggles every time! Thank you Zinc Roe.

My 2 year old loves the ZincRoe Stella and Sam stories! He plays his favourite chapters over and over, and recites the story along with the kids. He loves Fred the dog too.

My son loves all the Stella and Sam apps, but this one is his favourite right now. He especially likes looking for the bugs in the tent. This is a great app for kids!

Some bad moments

Compare to the other two, this one only has two short mini games. And there is no variation on either games. We are a big fan for Stella and Sam but I am a bit disappointed with this one. Really? Thats it?

Bought this for my bilingual son who enjoys the Stella books, but despite the description, this app appears to be exclusively in English with no way to change the language. Help! We are both very disappointed.

I thought the graphics and the way the story was told was beautiful. My 4 year old son loved it and wanted some more of these stories.

We just acquired our iPad and got this app by recommendation from a friend. It was beautiful. A wonderful, engaging story with lovely graphics and background music. Both children were very engaged in the story and delighted with the interactive portions (finding the bugs, etc.). I expect to read this many more times with them and hope to be able to add to our library of Sam and Stella stories. Well done!

My grandson loves these Stella & Sam stories, playing them over & over. The interactive features are easy for him to use & interesting -- nothing silly or goofy here -- just wholesome entertainment.

My daughter has really been enjoying this story! This developer does a great job making apps for kids. My daughter has several of their games/apps and really likes them. Theyre easy for a child to use, and they keep them entertained. Very easy to recommend!
