Good night

The stories that make dream the little ones are out of fashion. What is really interesting and useful are the stories that allow them to fall asleep Those that avoid having to count sheep or make the period falls asleep longer than necessary A good example is Good Night, an application that adapts the literary genre of thestories to current mobile devices to allow children to interact with it, and that is designed to relax and lull the little ones in the house.

As we say, it is a story, although it has little plot, and the fact is that the story focuses on how farm animals go to sleep That doesn't take away from having a professional narrator who comments on each act in a relaxed way. However, what is most entertaining is that it is the user, in this case the children from one to four years old, who take the lead and decidewhether to play with the different animals or send them directly to sleep just by turning off the different lights on the farm.

Its mechanics are extremely simple. We must not lose sight of the fact that it is a work for the little ones in the house. All you have to do is access the application and click on the button Start for the story to begin.In a few seconds the farm where the animals live appears, requiring the user to click on all the lights that appear on the scene. This takes the action to more specific places where the animals are, being able to click on chickens, a dog, a sheep, some fish, a cow or a pig and know their sounds and their most outstanding characteristics. After that, simply click on the switch to turn off the light and the animal can finally sleep. Once the lights of all the animals have been turned off, it is time for the boy or girl to lie down and sleep

It should be noted that, despite not having an elaborate story, the application Good Night has a great finish and quality And it is that both the narration and the music and sound effects manage to transmit serenity and relaxation for the most nervous.In addition, the drawings and animations of the animals stand out, which seem to be taken from an animated short. And it is that its creator, Heidi Wittlinger, is a well-known animator whose work was nominated for the Oscars of the year 2002 It should also be mentioned that there are different methods to enjoy this story, being able to deactivate the narration, make the play automatically to avoid interaction and even change the language of the book

But not everything is good in this application. As negative points we must mention the total weight of the application, which exceeds 150 MB This means making sure you download it over a WiFi connection to avoid killing the data rate and speed up the download as far as possible, which depending on the connection, will take several minutes.Also, there are quite a few loading times between the different scenes, slowing down the action and narration, although, on the other hand, they are apositive point to put the user to sleep.

In short, a story destined to fall asleep with a finish of great quality and that the little ones will enjoy, knowing that in addition to relaxing them it will allow them to get to know the farm animals Also, for a reason less than two euros, it is possible to expand the farm with as many animals and thus lengthen the user experience. The application Good Night can be downloaded completely free for both smartphones such as tablets with operating system Android via from Google Play There is also a version for iPhone and iPad at App Store, but with a price of 1, 79 euros
