The Rainforest Musical Kakamega app review: a musical and learning adventure for kids

Introduction

Some apps are really hard to categorize in just one category in the App Store. Some games barely have gameplay, while some apps to be found in the Reference category would be better placed under the News category. The same goes for books, as some of the interactive books would fall better under the education category, and vice versa. The Rainforest Musical Kakamega by developer Siu lui shirley Choi is one of those apps that is hard to place anywhere. This app, developed for iPhone and iPad would not be misplaced under Music or Education, but is also correctly placed in the Books category. The reason is that this book hold a lot of music and carries a message for your kids as well.
