Brought to you by Magic Light Pictures and Forestry England, The Gruffalo Spotter 2 app is cutting edge technology developed and animated by the award-winning Nexus Studios.
Based on The Gruffalo, the best-selling picture book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, families follow clues on an interactive trail and track signs for their favourite characters.
The self-led trail is packed with fun facts about the forest animals with fantastic activities along the way. Once families have spotted the characters, they can use the app to bring the 3D character animations to life, interact with the characters and film and take photographs of the experience.

Oh dear. It seems like a great app and it was exciting to think we could use this on the trail. Unfortunately we only got it to work with Mouse, then it crashed out. Restarted the app, continued on but it wouldn't scan the remaining circles despite multiple attempts and plenty of patience. At the very end we did get it to work with the Gruffalo circle, in the last part of the walk. In addition, any pictures we did capture were out of focus! Not recommended.

Nice when it works, but repeatedly I would open the app when we found the right spot and it wouldn't be able to open the camera (just a black screen). I would have to close the app completely and open it again, watch the intro screen, by which time littleuns are bored and frustrated of waiting and wandering off. Would be a good app if it worked. It even stopped the regular camera app on my phone from working a couple of times.

The app wouldn't pick up the signs without the capture circle overlapping the target. In between the app just crashing the animations were good but the option to override the gestures needs to be there all the time. Would be good that when the app doesn't pick up the sign that you could select the target anyway. Good idea but needs a bit more UX with a parent and toddler using it.
