Although the $1.99 version of Baby Rattle Toy is reviewed here, there is also a free version of the app available. The free version is identical but will only play for a short period of time and then shuts off. Our BridgingApps speech pathologist reviewed the app with children ages birth to 6 years. All of the children loved the app.

The app has a user friendly interface. There is a blue background with a sun. When the child touches the screen, an animal will pop up and make the animal's sound. If you do not touch the screen, the sun moves slowly around the screen and makes a pleasant ring when it hits the sides. If the child touches the sun, the sun moves faster and the ring becomes a song. The background color also changes.

This app can be activated by an open hand. It also encourages finger isolation by giving great feedback when the sun is touched. The app is very responsive and gives immediate feedback when the screen is touched. The app is appealing visually and auditorially. It also teaches cause and effect.
