Strike Up Your Own Band with Dr. Seuss Band!

iphone app reviews

Growing up with The Cat and the Hat, and all the other awesome and fantastical Dr. Seuss stories, it was a no-brainer to check out the Dr. Seuss Band iOS universal app (works on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch). We checked this out on an iPad 2, and this musical instrument game is just as whacky and fun as the Dr. Seuss books themselves. The app opens up to a wonky-looking instrument that you won’t see in any real marching band, but is common stylistically in Dr. Seuss stories, and is the main playing instrument inside this app. The neat feature about this musical instrument is that it can be changed with the swipe of a finger up or down, providing a new twist to the 3 sets of playable notes on the bottom of the screen. The playable notes can be changed by using the arrows on the bottom right or left ranging from very low to very high notes and middle sounding notes in between.

There are two ways to play this app instrument: free play or play it to songs. Playing the wonky instrument to songs works when you tap on the colored notes as they fall vertically from the top to the bottom — where the user notes are. The player then taps on the correct colored notes at just the right time, which causes accolades to be given by one of the Dr. Seuss’ things, not sure if it is Thing 1 or Thing 2? While the app only comes with 3 songs, there are others that can be purchased through in app purchase, as well as additional musical instruments and sound effects. Dr. Seuss Band will fascinate your kids with the element of fantasy, and will bring back good memories for all you older people like me — may be older, but never too old to be a kid at heart.
