MarcoPolo Ocean app review: learning and playing with the ocean

Reviews

Introduction

MarcoPolo Ocean is an iPad and iPhone app for young children aged three to six. Your child can explore the ocean building coral reefs, exploring the sea, and create an aquarium. The app will help them learn about marine life, and teach your youngster proper vocabulary, physical attributes, and concepts of the ocean.

Aquarium without the Mess

I downloaded MarcoPolo Ocean for my six-year-old who loves marine life right now. She can’t get enough of dolphins, whales, and learning about their ecosystems. This app has helped me teach her about the coral reefs, how dolphins live, how boats can affect them in the ocean, and a lot more.

One thing I really liked about the app was that it taught her specifically how to identify some fish. Prior to the app, she would ask me what kind of fish this was, or that was, and now she is beginning to recognize fish on her own, naming them off and telling me things like how many stripes they have.

Limitations

MarcoPolo Ocean was a refreshing app to test because there aren’t a lot of limitations. It is a full game, for free. No in-app purchases, no extras, not even any ads! The app has a language switch to change between English and seven other languages including Spanish, French, and German. This is in the parents section, and there are four tabs. Play describes the game, More directs you to your local library for further research, Settings is where you can find the language toggles as well as sound settings, and Feedback simply has an email where you can contact the developer.

There are five main activities to build and then interact with: the reef builder mentioned above, a herring anatomy, an orca anatomy, parts of a ship, and parts of a submarine. Each level starts with dragging a piece to the shadow, and some have more information for your child. There is also an aquarium that you can drag out and put fish into your ocean.

Final Thoughts

MarcoPolo Ocean is an iPad app that allows your child to explore the ocean. They can do this through the puzzles that each include anatomy and facts about the fish or animal that they are creating. It is a very well-put-together app, and it has no ads, no add-ons, and is a complete game for free. I would definitely recommend this app, as it has been great for my six-year-old, and like I said, it is free! It offers lots of learning opportunity, and lots of fun too.
