Halloween! app review: a ghoulishly fun way to enjoy Halloween

Reviews

Introduction

If you're looking to get into the spirit of Halloween why not enjoy a ghoulish and fun app? The Halloween! app is meant to help you enjoy this time of year that extra bit more by giving you all kinds of tools and features to make the most of the night.

Making the Most of Halloween

This app is loaded with ways to enjoy Halloween such as a countdown to the big day, frightfully fun sounds, trivia, costume ideas, a flashlight, and plenty more. Unfortunately many of the features and tools are not available in the free version of this app. Not only are many features available only in the full version but this app is absolutely loaded with ads that continually pop-up. At least the full version is priced at a reasonable $0.99.

It also seems that anyone who downloaded this app before the upgrade has lost everything they stored. Hopefully this is something that has worked itself out by now.

For me one of the best parts is the trivia as most of these factoids are pretty interesting and not anything I previously knew about. You can read them in order or in random order. I wish there was a way to share these factoids with friends/family.

 

Falling Short

As hauntingly cute as this app is I must say the user interface leaves much to be desired. The iTunes page describes the app as having a “beautifully designed interface” but I must say I disagree hugely. While the user interface does the trick it’s far from beautiful. I would like to see a sleeker more modern approach.

The best iPhone and iPad apps for trick or treating

The countdown image when you first launch the app is rather cute and fun and I like that you can quickly see exactly how many days are left. The quality of the sounds is also quite good and sound just like the object/item they are meant to be.

The flashlight is really fun too because it's not a typical flashlight. This one uses your screen as the light and you can adjust the colors to make it that much scarier. Choose from black, different tones of red, blue, yellow, green, and more.

If you’re stuck on costume ideas this is a great way to find a little inspiration. The images are all straight from Google, however, so really it’s something you could find on your own without the app.

Final Thoughts

I would love to be able to say that I really enjoy the Halloween! app and that it will help make the season a bit spookier but I must say this app feels unimpressive and not very exciting.
