Hey Bearville Boys and Girls! Today, like I said yesterday, I will be reviewing one of Build-a-Bear’s apps, ‘The Honey Girls’. Now I just want to put out there that I really do like the Honey Girls! They are cute, and they are pawsome singers, but this is the app I am reviewing and I am not going to be biased.
Before we start, I just want to say that this is taking forever to download xD. This takes up 128MB which in my opinion is a lot of space. This is rated 4.1 stars on Google Play and is free for download but has in-app purchases. Before we start, do you guys like the Honey Girls? What are your favourite songs? Here is a link to a playlist of there songs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnzXkAPgN9f_3RsfU457zq1KtnHliM0CW.
The home screen holds 4 sections – ‘The Honey Girls NEW’, ‘Selfie Center’, ‘Music Games’ and ‘Music Video Maker’. There are also 3 other buttons for ‘Help’, ‘In-app Purchases’ and ‘My Selfie’s’. We will first start with ‘The Honey Girls NEW’.
The Honey Girls NEW
Here are 12 things to do, with 3 of them costing real life money to do. We can meet the band, Viv, Teegan and Risa while we can also play the HG’s songs and preview the girls’ theme songs. We are also able to watch HG videos, although you have to purchase Risa, Viv and Teegan’s. In ‘Meet The Band’, we get a ton of info about the band and members. You can also read 3 facts about each of the members at Meet Teegan, Viv and Risa. At ‘Play Songs’, we get a selection of different HG songs to listen to. They even come with lyrics! As I said before, you can preview the other girl’s songs, but without the lyrics. At ‘Watch Videos’, we can watch the HG’s music videos, but you do have to pay for the other girl’s songs. I think this section is good, but I wish you didn’t have to pay for a lot of the stuff.
Selfie Center
The name is pretty self-ie explanatory. You just take photos and add effects such as borders and stickers. It is a bit annoying however that the best effects are only usable when you pay for them. There isn’t much to it. They are savable so if you are someone who always posts there selfies to social media, or sends them to friends, you are able to do so. Honestly, I am not that impressed with this section. You can’t even flip the camera. If you always like to add effects and filters, I honestly don’t recommend this.
Music Games
There are only 2 games available so I hope they are good xD. There is the ‘Drum Beat Game’ and ‘Guitar Rock Game’.
The ‘Drum Beat Game’, is one of those musically repeat memory games. They will hit a note and you have to repeat it. They keep going adding on beats that you have to keep remembering the order of. After a number of levels, it gets very tricky. In this game, Viv is hitting beats on her drum that you have to repeat. I quite like it – it isn’t too hard and it never gives the player the feeling of failure. You cannot lose in this game.
The ‘Guitar Rock Game’ is the exact same thing except that it is Risa playing her guitar. I kinda wish there was a bit more variety in the games. There could of been where you could control what they played and how they played, something like that.
Music Video Maker
In the ‘Music Video Maker’, you can find a song that you like and learn the lyrics. In ‘Lets Record’, you are able to record yourself singing, while there are still lyrics on the screen. Like ‘Selfie Center’, you are not able to flip the camera. In ‘Customise’ You simply just customise your videos.
I think this app is OK but it takes up a lot of space yet there is limited stuff to do. I believe this app wasn’t as good as it could of been. I am not a hater but I do not think I shall be keeping this app after the review.
***3.6 Stars***
