Talking Tom Cat for iOS 3.3

Talking Tom Cat for iOS is a fun and entertaining virtual pet app that has been downloaded over 5 billion times worldwide. Developed by Outfit7, the makers of other popular games like My Talking Tom and Talking Tom Gold Run, this app is the original talking virtual pet that everyone knows and loves.

With Talking Tom Cat, you can talk to Tom and he will repeat after you in his funny voice. You can also play with him by poking his head until he sees stars or petting him to make him purr with happiness. If you're feeling mischievous, you can even make Tom fart for a smelly situation.

But it's not just about interacting with Tom - you can also feed him his favorite foods like spicy chilies or ice cream for a cold surprise. And if you tap around the screen, there are even more fun reactions to discover.

One of the best things about Talking Tom Cat is its simplicity - it's easy enough for kids to use but still entertaining enough for adults. Plus, it's PRIVO certified which means that Outfit7 has established COPPA compliant privacy practices to protect your child's personal information.

In terms of advertising and promotions, this app does contain links that direct customers to other Outfit7 apps as well as personalized content designed to entice users back into playing again. There is also an option for in-app purchases if desired.

Overall, if you're looking for a fun and entertaining virtual pet app that has stood the test of time (and downloads), then look no further than Talking Tom Cat from Outfit7!

Talking Tom features an animated cat that you can pet, poke, feed, and get to repeat the things you say in a silly, distorted voice. While this app can theoretically be used in Child or Adult mode, it's really something younger kids will have the most fun with.

Pros

Good animation: The animation and sound effects in this app are great. Tom is kind of a silly looking cat, but that's perfect for this program. He sneezes, yawns, and purrs, and reacts to your petting by doing a little dance, all of which are fun reactions to elicit.

Repetition:There's really no way around it. It's just a lot of fun to speak into the microphone and have Tom repeat your words back to you in his silly voice.

Cons

Limited free options: Besides speaking and petting, the only thing you can really do for free in this app is to pour Tom a glass of milk. Four other animations are available, but you have to pay $1.99 to unlock all of them.

Pop-up ads: Not only are there fullscreen pop-up ads, at times, but many of them are animated and may seem to kids to be a part of the game. They're almost sure to hit one of them at some point and be taken out of the app, which is frustrating. There is also always a banner ad across the top of the screen.

Bottom Line

If you don't mind paying the $1.99 to unlock the extra animations and remove ads, this app can be a lot of fun for kids to play with. But the truth is that there are probably a lot of better kids' apps out there that offer more options for free and less intrusive advertising.
