Interactive Preschool App Review: Captain McFinn #SwimAndPlay

by 5 Comments

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Captain McFinn. I received a complimentary subscription to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

Based on the popular Captain McFinn storybook character, the #SwimandPlay app brings Sand Dusty Reef to life in this preschool learning game! Available for iPad devices, Captain McFinn Swim & Play is the first-ever children’s app to offer an interactive live host!

More about the Captain McFinn Swim & Play App

As the child plays the app, the host praises them by name on their accomplishments. As a parent, I think this is a really cool idea! Children need tons of praise and accolades to encourage and grow their confidence, and this app helps to do just that.

During the game the host will suggest that players play certain activities that offer important pro-social life lessons, such as kindness and sharing. They will guide the children to locate the orange starfish which offers a tunnel to the secret activity, like showing their artistic side by creating a fun painting or record their own song!
