App Review: My Little Pony – Cutie Mark Chronicles

By Emily On June 5, 2015 · Add Comment

It might just be my own weirdness, but I get really excited when my kids show interest in characters that I loved growing up. It started with Sesame Street (but when does it not amirite) and as the kids have gotten older they’ve started watching My Little Pony and Care Bears thanks to franchise reboots intended to modernize the brand. I’m still waiting on my son to be ready for Harry Potter chapter books, but until he is I’ll keep regaling him and my daughter with amazingly boring stories that start with “Oh wow, when Mommy was a kid she watched this too!!” Of all these reboots it seems to me that the My Little Pony brand has been the most popular. Walk through any store that offers children’s products and tell me you don’t see something, at minimum just one item, that’s covered with the bright cartoon horses. There are [...]

New Furby App Creates More Interactive Opportunities For Furby-Lovers

By Faith O'Neil On April 8, 2013 · Add Comment

A while back, when the new Hasbro Furbys were first released, we wrote about their app compatibility and how incredibly far these toys have come, in comparison to the Furbys of some of our childhoods. Not only has Furby’s looks changed (digital-display eyes instead of mechanical eyes, a new tail that wasn’t present before), his abilities have changed a lot, too! Instead of simply interacting with children, Furby can now interact with your smartphone and iPad, as well. Subsequently, there have been a few additional Furby apps cropping up in the app store as a result of Furby’s incredible popularity. Now, just months after the new Furby release, children can play with a brand new app called ‘Furby Mouth Off’. If your children have ever wished they could speak ‘Furbish’, this is the app for them! Children can choose from a series of colorful ‘mouths’ within the [...]

Popcap and Hasbro to Collaborate on Face to Face App Games

By Faith O'Neil On January 15, 2013 · Add Comment

Popcap has been a fixture in my family ever since my 4 year old started getting better than me at Plants vs. Zombies. They have created family-friendly game apps for quite some time and many of them have sky-rocketed to fame (bejeweled, anyone?). So, naturally, I was thrilled to hear that Popcap is going to be collaborating with Hasbro in an attempt to turn their most popular apps into face-to-face board games that will be suited for the whole family. On January 7th, Popcap, a division of EA, announced a licensing deal that was struck with Hasbro in an effort to bring some of Popcap’s most popular app games to life by recreating them as face to face board games. Through this license, Hasbro has gained the ability to develop a wide range of products and physical games based on Popcap’s apps, beginning [...]

If you are a parent who is still in their 20’s, you probably remember owning the old school Furby with the mechanical eyelids and robotic voice.
