I can not understand some of the negative reviews for Dr. Panda,s Airport.
I have had NO NAGS FOR REVIEWS.
I have NOT BEEN DIRECTED TO JAPANESE YOU-TUBE.
You do not need to be connected to a network to play this game.
I currently have 9 of the Dr. Panda games. I think that Dr. Panda games are among the best, if not the best, of this type. Dr. Panda games are the favorite with 4yr. old kids who use my tablet. The Dr. Panda games are highly entertaining and usually interactive. These games also have educational value for children. I have NOT had a problem with nags or redirects in any of the Dr. Panda games.
Thank You Amazon for making this game available for free today as the FAOTD! This was quite a pleasant surprise, which made me happy. I almost purchased this game yesterday (In which case, I would not have been happy to find it free today).
The opening screen of Dr. Panda has a button labelled: "For parents". The opening screen also has a link to "More games!" (THIS BUTTON CAN BE EASILY DISABLED). Tapping either of the above buttons, first takes you to a screen where you have to tap multiple (2 to 5) times to proceed. All of the screens in Dr. Panda have the same music.
The "More games!" button gives you a screen with internet links to the other Dr. Panda games, as well as the option to subscribe to a newsletter. The "More games!" button is easily disabled by going into the "For parents" section and turning off the "Show promotion screen" option. That's it. After doing this, the opening screen will only have the option to start the game or go into the "For parents" section.
Now for the bad stuff:
If you go into the section clearly labelled "For parents" and tap the button to "Review us", you will be nagged for a review.
If you go into the section clearly labelled "For parents" and tap the button to "subscribe" to the newsletter, you will have subscribed.
If you go into the section clearly labelled "For parents" and tap the button to "Like" on Facebook, you will be bothered by Facebook.
If you go into the section clearly labelled "For parents" and keep the option to "Show promotion screen", your children can access the "More games!" area (with internet links).
I haven,t read it (yet), but the icon to enter the game is an airplane outline (Go figure!). I,m sure some parent will say that this encourages his/her child to play with the airplane icon in network "settings".
Dr. Panda's Hospital has the panda as a doctor, not Dr. Panda's Airport. It appears as if this game is airport themed.
As others have noted, Dr. Panda's Airport seems to be more advanced than other Dr. Panda games. I think that this game goes at a slower pace than the other Dr. Panda games. I think that this is a good thing, as it can help children cope with all the waiting in airports nowadays (You will never see a scene like in the older movies where you can get out of the taxi 3 minutes before your flight and run through the airport, past security, carrying an armful of luggage, unto your plane. Did I forget to mention that since it is winter, you don't take off your ski mask until you are comfortably in your seat on the plane.).
This game can help children become acquainted with airport check-in procedures. This includes security screening. Some people might be upset at the items shown (people do shave with something you know), but this is nothing compared to what can be seen in the dump bins at actual airports. I guess you will just have to make sure that your children never see what is actually confiscated. I was surprised by the bottle opener and the analog watch (I worked at a school that had an analog clock in every room, yet the people were asking me what the time was, as they could not read an analog clock). I'm sure some parents will have to explain to their children about bottle openers (It's not for soda pop).
This game is not for "tapaholic" children. You have to think about what you are doing. This is not a difficult game, but frantic tapping will not get you through this game. As I mentioned previously, I think that this is better for children in waiting lines and waiting areas. This game will also help children behave in a more patient manner. If you are blessed with hyper-active children and think that everyone around you should share in the joy of your hyper-active children, this game is probably not for you (unless you want your phone used as a hockey puck).
I think that Dr. Panda's Airport is a very good game to help children become familiar with airports.
And again:
Thank You Amazon for making this the FAOTD.
