Millie's Book of Tricks and Treats, Volume 2 app review: trick or treat any time

Reviews

Introduction

This Halloween there is no need to leave your house to trick or treat because you can do so from the comfort of your couch with the Millie's Book of Tricks and Treats, Volume 2 app. This cute little app is newly updated and features Millie, an adorable dog you won't be able to get enough of. You'll be trick or treating for Millie all through her neighborhood.

An Interactive Experience

This app is actually a book that features photos, videos, stickers, and plenty of fun artwork. The whole point of the book is to go trick or treating with Millie and watch her do tricks and get dog treats. Not to worry, even though this book is Halloween-themed it's fine for even the youngest of kids to enjoy. There is nothing violent, scary, or too mature for them. You can feel safe knowing this book is plain innocent fun for them.

What makes this book so unique and fun for kids is the fact that each time you read it the book randomly generates a plot, so every read will be different, new, and fresh. It keeps kids coming back again and again since they know they will have a new experience each time.

This is a great book at bedtime too thanks to "Bedtime Mode" that calms down the story and experience in order to help kids relax before bedtime.

 

Not So Smooth

The description of this app makes it sound incredibly cute and a whole lot of fun; unfortunately I have yet to get it to work. I get as far as the main menu to hear the intro, and then the app crashes. It has happened a number of times now, not just once, so this is clearly a stability issue with the app.

If you can get into the app there are plenty of cute features for kids to enjoy such as more than 40 videos of Millie, who is a real dog, as she travels around trick or treating. There are virtual stickers for kids to find and collect, a mystery scratch-off to enjoy on each page, lively narration, and for the younger kids there are audio instructions so they know what to do.

All in all it sounds like a whole lot of fun for kids the catch is getting into the app!

Final Thoughts

I wish I had more positives to say about the Millie’s Book of Tricks and Treats, Volume 2 app but unfortunately because it continually crashes on me I can’t give it a good review. The features sound like a lot of fun but there are clearly some stability issues that need to be addressed.
