Community reviews for Pocket Penguins

Pocket Penguin is a nice way for students to get a closer look at one species of penguins and how they move and interact together. The app provides students with an opportunity to observe and document penguin behavior, both on land and underwater. Unfortunately, the app has no sound and aside from the real-time camera views, it does not provide any explicit information about penguins or interactive aspects for students to engage with in the app. The app also has a highly prominent “donate” button that could easily cause problems with students accidentally or purposefully trying to leave the app and contribute money to the organization. The app is also limited to the iphone, which makes it harder for larger groups to view the images.
