HuePets‪!‬ 4+

This app has had a wonderful impact on my kids meal and snack choices. When mom recommends eating something healthy they don’t always want to listen. But if they can feed a fun monster pet while making healthy choices and earn fun accessories they are all in. The only reason I rated it 4 stars was my kids started to loose interest when the monster wasn’t progressing fast enough. But definitely helps younger kids learn about making healthier food choices.

Great tool to educate children in a simple way of the importance of eating a variety of foods. The app is very basic in the functions and lacks some thought in navigating and how to continue to educate children. My kids lost interest. Some ideas for improvement would be to provide recommendations of foods within the same color wheel or that may taste similarly. Having that kind of support would help further reinforce learning and experimenting with food.

My younger two kids (5 & 7) love this app & it actually had one of them trying veggies just so she could feed Huey. But my 12 year old found that it could scan anything of that color & get coins to get items for the pets, which defeats the entire purpose. Obviously he’s older, so it’s not completely unexpected but I wish it had a bit more to keep him involved.
