Community reviews for Wee You-Things

At $2.99, it’s easy to shy away from an app with such limited use. At most, Wee You-Things will be brought out a few times per year (to start the school year, when new students arrive mid-year, and maybe if diversity related issues arise), but when I consider what I have paid for some picture books that are read even less frequently, three bucks isn’t bad! That said, while this app may serve as an engaging starting point for a lesson on diversity, it is just that, a starting point. After the three minute story is over, the app has no more to offer. However, make sure to check out “How It Works” in settings for some additional activity suggestions.

I wish the app had more story lines. I like that students can make their own avatars and the app gets them thinking about why they are unique. The story characters are engaging. Adults are able to control settings such as narration, music, silent, and saving your "you." For 2.99, you can purchase "Wee Alphas" which is an alphabet story on how each animal is unique. Overall, I think the app lacks versatility, so students would be engaged for a few times, but not an in-depth app to keep them engaged for a long time period.
