My son and I love My Playhome apps. We have them all.
I know this app is for All children, but it does wonders to special needs children, as well.
I am the mother of a son with ADHD and Autistic features and these apps had been a blessing for us. My son loves them so much. It helps to teach children about family, home routines and chores. My friends children (normal kids) love them as well and when they come to visit us, the first thing they asked me is to play "My Playhome" at our iPads.
We have my Playhome since its first version and we saw it growing from a small house to a larger one with parents dedicated bedroom and closet and a garden for the children to play. We love and appreciated every little and big improvement. When the MyPlayhome Stores came out, we got very happy to can finally get out of the house and buy things and actually bring them to our home. We love to buy and try new clothes. It also helped me to teach my son how to behave well outside home and to understand about money and trade.
Now, about my Playhome School. Well I always wished for a School to be integrated at my Playhome main app as the Stores did. And since we saw the add that a new School app will be released on Nov 20, weve been waiting for it impatiently. And yesterday when it was finally available I downloaded it at the first hour. Needless to say that WE LOVE IT!
Now that my son is on Grade 1, he is loving to show me his routine at school using this new App. The school environmental was replicated with perfection. We love every single place and corner. The elevator really works, as well many other devices such as the copier machine and specially the PA system at Principals Office. My son loves to make announcements and hear his voice with the echo. However, we wished that this feature was also available at the Auditorium, where it is mostly needed.We loved the cafeteria with healthy food and a place to dispose the tray and plates. It really teaches kids to keep the school clean. We liked the backpacks with books inside, the Science Lab and the fact we can wear a lab coat and protective glass. It is all amazing.We loved the new faces at school, teachers and employees and we often have the teachers visiting us at home.
The only thing that I was disappointed is that MyPlayhome School is NOT integrated at the main app, as Stores is. We were hoping to use only the main app and from it, go and back to school as well bring the school bag with books and do the homework at home as this is now part of ou home routine. We would also like to bring and take toys from home to school and vice-versa.
I really hope you are working on this and that this integration be available soon.
Thank you very much for these amazing apps and please bring us more.
And I have a suggestion to the next app: how about a MyPlayhome Vacations?
I wish we could take the kids to the beach, for start. How about that? It will be a great addition.
