New healthy food app for kids gets over 1 million downloads
June 6, 2012 by Lindsay
As anyone with an iPhone or iPad knows, the number of available
apps is staggering. So when one breaks through, it receives a lot
of publicity. And recently we noticed one app that’s creating quite
a stir and earning rave reviews. Designed by the Fun Machine in
coordination with Whole Kids, (the Whole Foods’ foundation that
encourages healthy eating in kids), this free game has had over 1
million downloads since it was released in March.
Called “Awesome Eats,” it’s described on the Whole Kids site (with a download link) as follows:
“In this fun game, you’ll sort, stack, pack and plate a rainbow of fresh-from-the-garden foods. In each level you’ll stack and sort fruits, veggies and whole grains across wacky contraptions to win stars and score big points. Be on the lookout for thieving birds and tap to shoo them away for extra points. You and your kids will unlock hours of challenging game play and get loads of healthy eating tips along the way.
Featuring 32 challenging levels, a cast of over 50 characters, healthy eating tips, skill bonuses, obstacles and fun surprises to keep you on your toes!”
If you have children you’re looking to entertain this summer (actually, even if you’re looking just to entertain yourself), and an iPad or iPhone, this is something you might like to check out.
