New LEGO Friends iPad App

by LFX

Normally, I wouldn't really care that there is yet another LEGO app for the iPad, given the rash of subpar iPad games LEGO has shot out in recent years, including the original LEGO Friends Dress Up game ...
Yet, the latest installment by LEGO (or should I say DK) called LEGO® Friends Ultimate Stickers App is without a doubt the best officially licensed LEGO app so far, regardless of theme.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves but in summary, LEGO has hit the nail on the head with finally offering us a user friendly, intuitive and interactive app.  I'm really big on usability and this app is so easy to use, my 7-year-old figured it out in 1 minute.  The colors are vibrant and the stickers are similar to the ones found in the DK LEGO Friends Ultimate Sticker Book that came out in February.  There's even two game modes, my favorite being the Free Play mode which encourages creativity from your child and also allows them to capture their creation into their photo library.

Unfortunately, this app is not free and not available for Android users.  Cost is $3.99 Canadian Dollars, but well worth it IMO.  A must have for those who own the sticker book, because it takes the sticker book experience to a whole new level of interactivity and fun.  You can tell LEGO put some effort into this app, but now that I think of it, it's probably more DK's influence than LEGO.  The file size is just over 500MB for those who are interested.

Here is what the dk.co.uk site says:
