Sticker Tales Review


Sticker Tales


Sticker Tales App Game called Sticker Math
"Sticker Math" found on Sticker Tales
Price: Free

Located: Windows 8 Store Exclusively

Overview:
Sticker Tales was one of the first apps introduced to the "Entertainment" category and the first "sticker app." It stands among other apps like Stumble Upon, Cracked.com, and Fresh Paint. According to the creators of Sticker Tales, "Sticker Tales is a fun educational game that lets kids use their imagination to create pictures as easily as putting stickers in a book."  The age rating for the app is for children 3 and up.

Pro:
Sticker Tales is a top-notch, one-of-a-kind Windows 8 sticker book app. Sticker Tales reports that kids play with the app for an average of 15 minutes each time the app is opened. This means that kids find the app generally entertaining. From observation, the app is also very easy to use for even the youngest of children. When compared to similar apps in other markets, Sticker Tales give the user a bit more freedom with where to put stickers and how to arrange the backgrounds.

Con:
Some of the main issues I have with the app are not with the app itself, but with Windows 8. It is hard to navigate out of the games in the app. Also, there are some elements of the app that are not aesthetically pleasing. Finally, I would like to see more sticker books in the app!! The only sticker book that offered is the farm sticker book. With such a limited offering, it leaves much to be desired.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Blog Rating: 4 1/2 out of 5 stars

Summary of Sticker Tales

While I agree that Sticker Tales is a well-rounded app, I wouldn't say it is a five out of five. Perhaps the reason for the 5-star rating is because so few have rated it in the Windows 8 store. There are some obvious things that need to happen with the app as mentioned above.
