Press Here Giveaway -This APP Rocks!

April 14, 2012 by  

UPDATE:

We have a winner picked by random.org….

Kameron who said, “SO cool!  I think I must go get this… now!  :)  (or maybe I’ll wait and see if I win it…)”

You win! Email me at missy@howdoesshe.com so I can get you your prize!

I LOVE this new APP!

It is based on the international best-selling book, Press Here, by Hervé Tullet. Which I love. It is so simple and creative.

The app takes the same fun concept but makes it even more interactive to enjoy on our smart devices.

It isn’t just a repeat of the book, it has fifteen open-ended activities created from brightly winking, blinking, multiplying, and colliding dots. It is fun for every age. I have kids that range from 2 to 10 and they all had a lot of fun playing around with it!

Even if you are not currently familiar with Hervé Tullet, you will want to be after playing around with this App.

This is what Hervé had to say about the new app, ”I’ve been so honored and proud of the success of the Press Here book in the U.S., so when we talked about creating an app, my first hunch was that it must not be a copy of the book, but rather something new, different and innovative. I thought about a dot’s variation and decided to make up a kind of ‘tactile poetry.’ I do hope fans of the book will enjoy it and find the same spirit of fun.”

The Press Here App is available for $1.99 (iPad) or $0.99 (iPhone and iPod touch) from the App Store on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, or at www.itunes.com/appstore.

GIVEAWAY TIME!!

One lucky winner will receive a copy of the book, a code for the iPhone app and a code for the iPad app!

3 ways to enter:

1. Go check out this fun video that shows the app  in action.

2. Check out the iPad app, then leave a comment letting us know what you think.

3. Check out the iPhone/iPod touch app, then leave a comment letting us know how you like it.

If you don’t win, it is only a buck or two to download it…you won’t regret it! So CREATIVE and FUN!!

*This post was paid for by sponsor. The opinions of the product were 100% my own. Winner will be picked by random.org and announced Saturday, April 21st.

  56. Lisa Fogarty says:

    I just enrolled in college and after saving a lot of money for that… they sent me an Ipad for some of the classes… I am so excited.. since I have a car payment too.. so my son who is 6 would love this… what a fun app.. never heard of the book either… and I know a lot of books for kids… What a great giveaway thanks for hosting.

  57. Debbie says:

    How fun! We’re always looking for kid-friendly apps for our almost 2 year old. She LOVES playing on my husband’s iPad and is really into cause-and-effect right now. She would just love this! And my daughter loves to read–so I looked up the book and it looks fantastic! She would have a ball with that!

  58. Andrea says:

    What a darling app!

  59. venetrise says:

    This is soooo cute, interactive and fun. I know Micah would love it.

  60. Leann says:

  61. Julie W. says:

    Looks like a great app. My 2 year old boy will love it!

  64. Linda says:

    This app looks amazing. I’m sure that my grandchildren would love it! Thanks for the giveaway!

  65. Amy Bagley says:

    Love the iPad App! I have not been familiar with the book but am delighted with the discovery!!

  66. Nicole says:

    Looked at the video and think my 15 month old son would actually be able to enjoy it!

  67. Nicole says:

    Checked out the iPad app and the rain and music games sound fun for little ones!

  68. Nicole says:

    Gandma has an iPhone so the app would be great for her to have with the kids. Like the following game idea.

  69. Rosemary says:

    I tried to view the You-tube video, but it wouldn’t work–don’t know why?! I did check out the Ipad app and am going to show my sister today. She would like this for her grandchildren as I don’t have any yet! I would get it for my phone but I am technically challenged right now and would rather spend my time sewing and quilting. I’m not a “gamer” but perhaps sometime in the future. If my husband had a “smart” phone, he’d probably like it because he’s into tetris and solitiarie! I would like to expand his horizons but right now he’s on a PC and with a “stupid” or “dumb” phone! Maybe he’ll upgrade soon!

  70. Jennifer says:

    At first I thought it looked too young for my 6 year old…but after watching the video I don’t think it is…I want it for MYSELF!

  71. Lauren says:

    So excited about this – I love the book (as do all the kids I know), and am always looking for good iPad/iPhone apps & games for toddlers. Thanks for the heads-up about this one!

  72. Tracy Manty says:

    Love the book! ONE OF MY SON’S FAVES! So cool that there is an app now! Would love to win it!

  73. Ashley Riquelme says:

    Love the App! I can’t wait to get off work & download it on our iPad!

    Thanks!

  74. sunny says:

    The iPad app looks like lots of fun!!!

  75. Jessica says:

    super fun app!

  76. Tina Redmond says:

    The video was cute, the App demo looks fun and I don’t have an Iphone to check it out, just an Ipad. My kids would love this, so I hope we win!!!

  77. Diana says:

    This iPad app looks so fun! I think my twin 2yo’s would love it! And maybe Mama might get thru the whole grocery shopping list for once!

  78. Maureen says:

    Think this would be an awesome app to have in my back pocket for when the kids get antsy.

  79. DS says:

    I checked out the IPhone app which looks interesting. I think even adults would want to play along.

  80. DS says:

    I would like the IPad app as it’s easier for little ones to play along with the larger screen.

  81. Camille says:

    The press here app looks fun I think my two boys would like it!

    This looks like a fun app, my daughter will love it!

  85. Charlene says:

    Hubby just bought an Ipod touch. He’s not into the games, well that is until I download them and play with them, then he will play it “just once” and get addicted!!!

    I (we) would love to win a free one!

  86. Charlene says:

    oops, I guess I was supposed to tell you before I commented on the app that I did actually watch the video. Looks great!! And could probably hold the attention of my 4 year old for awhile!!!

  87. Heather Moses says:

    My 4 and 6 yr old would love this but I’m thinking mommy would too :) Awesome giveaway !

  91. April says:

    Watched the video…looks great!

  92. SMY says:

    Great app on the ipad! I watched the video on you tube. Colors are great and looks like there is enough different variations of the app that it is fun for a range of ages. Great job!

  93. Joanna says:
