One of the very cool aspects of doing Panda Cub Productions, is that I get to meet all sorts of really lovely people from all walks of life. One such person who I just recently had the opportunity to chance upon is Stefany over at To Be Thode. What initially caught my eye about her blog was the very sweet floral design she had as her logo templet, for it has cute, multicolored birds in a varicolored tree. What can I say, I am a sucker for flowers and birds. I contacted Stefany and asked if she would like to review iMoo and she happily obliged. We were given a most divine review! She states that she would “Absolutely” recommend iMoo, for it “is something that any age can do so there is no need to worry about a difficulty level.” Stefany relates that she even made a little game out of guessing which would be the next moo sound with children and that her youngest one thought it was “hilarious…hearing her giggle makes this app a true winner in my book.” I have said it before in other posts, but it really never gets old to say again how gratifying it is for us to know that in some small way our little iMoo is helping to bring families together in a very simple way, while contributing in a small way to a lifetime of treasured memories.

In these particular difficult economic times, being smart with your hard earned money has become all the more crucial. I recently came across Mana’s Money Savers, a superb site that helps to address way in which we can save money, find good deals on products and even obtain some superb coupons. I asked Cher if she would be kind enough to review iMoo and she graciously obliged. One point that she shared was how iMoo brought back cherished childhood memories. How cool is it that our simple little app can resonate with adults in terms of reconnecting with childhood memories that they hold dear. It fascinates me to see how iMoo helps create a connection between child and adult just in terms of there being a shared experience by way of a simple technology. When letting her own little one play around with iMoo, “he was a “mooing” machine!” Cher goes on to say that it is a “very cute app and good for a few flips every now and then!” We were really pleased to hear how iMoo brought back dear memories of her childhood and how right she is for her observation about while technology has changed, it can create delightful lasting memories for a new generation. We can’t wait to hear about her boys reactions when they will be able to record their own moo sounds when the family gets their new iPhone. Talk about “mooning machines”!

Best App 4 Kids Free App Friday:iMoo

Today marks one of the most significant days for our nation. It is upon this day that we call to mind the principles of liberty and freedom, for as a nation we commemorate our Declaration of Independence from the British Crown on July 4th, 1776. It is this concrete reality that we are a free nation which has allowed Americana’s to pursue their dreams and desires of a better life, one that is free from the oppressive restrictions and hindrances placed upon us by a ruling force. Within the Declaration of Independence is one of the most extraordinary statements about freedom that has ever been proclaimed: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Right, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. We would do well as a people to reflect upon the meaning of this statement and give thought to how invaluable our liberty and freedom truly is.

Life presents us with both good and bad. How we choose to confront that reality it what helps to define ones character. You might be thinking to yourself…whoa Panda Lord, this is a blog for all things Panda Cub Productions, not a place for some quasi philosophical rhetoric. Well, I can’t quite help being a bit introspective this quiet, foggy morning. It is due in part to the new iMoo review by Shannon over at Mom State of Mind.  The good is that she states, “this application would be great for a child” and that her own little one named Tristan “did like the [moo] sounds.” So from that perspective it was a very good review. Now for the bad. Shannon relates how she “wasn’t impressed coming from an adult perspective” and going further saying that she “became very bored.” My Panda heart sunk reading how she felt. If you have been reading my blog entries over the course of our PCP history thus far, you will know how much I and the Panda Wizard love what we do and want others to be as passionate as we are with what we have created! Ruminating on this, I came away with this conclusion: First, giving an honest assessment of our app is of paramount important, I rather hear the Truth that be told something I want to hear. Second, not everyone is going to be as smitten about our beloved iMoo as we are as peculiar as that may sound. Lastly, that we are working on other apps and projects that will appeal to other sensibilities and tastes. I have a strong suspicion that one of our super secret apps (codename El Guante Brillante) which we have been working on since January will be something our new friend Shannon will really get a thrill out of!
