The Gruffalo Spotter 2

Ok so my dad and me went on a walk to do the game we did all of the footprints the graphics were so good and if you go home and trace the footsteps on paper and colour really accurately it works at home so I’m happy I can do it at home know do get the game soo good and epic

Constant crashes all the time!

This is a lovely idea, but unfortunately it is not fit for purpose. It crashes frequently, has difficulty picking up the on screen motion and resets itself if someone walks in front of the camera. This makes it almost impossible to use with any success and turned a pleasant walk through the forest into a fraught and upset-children-filled drama. In addition the children of course want to see what is on the screen, not be in front of it. There is an automatic play option, which is helpful, but it should just play through without interruption or delay. All in all it was a disappointment, which is such a shame because a lot of work has clearly gone into the animation. It also stop working if you lose the signal, which is obviously quite often in the forest. A real shame.

The app worked for me at Moors Valley Country Park. It didn’t crash and I captured videos and photos. It didn’t always react to movements to move the dialog on but putting it in auto play was fine.

We arrived with excitement only to be left with disappointment. It just doesn’t work. Everyone was saying the same thing. Left the children disappointed

The concept is great but unfortunately the app does not work particularly well. The AR is too temperamental and we just could not get it to work on 3 of the 5 locations on our walk. The allows the user to auto play the animations, it is a shame we could not force the app to play the animations manually for each location. At the end of a walk we had a very upset toddler who could not see the Gruffalo at the end of the trail! The app really struggled with bright light and / or dirty sign. I suspect the app was unable to distinguish contrasting pixels robustly enough.

App is incredibly slow and kept crashing, very slow and tedious, same as others that son wanted to see the characters with him so selfie mode needs to be introduced. Also when he was doing what the characters tell to do, jump, stomp etc to wake them, make them dance or what ever, despite him moving lots only one of them moved, he got bored this part needs to be more sensitive to movement.

The app is rubbish, keeps crashing and cutting off, one very upset little girl 😡

Great app, the kids loved it

Totally disappointed. After taking over half an hour to download (not the app’s fault at all, this was due to signal) I was really looking forward to the Gruffalo trail with my toddler for her birthday today. Unfortunately, after telling me how to use the app, it all went blank. No camera showed, literally nothing. I tried on two of the footprints, then gave up. The concept of this is brilliant, and I really think my toddler would love it, if it would work!
