_shift: time_shifted_reflection_of_the_self
_inspiration:
I created this app after watching my 1 year old become obsessed with looking at his reflection, and seeing his delight when he saw himself in videos we’d shot. _shift is a combination of these two ideas, creating a window into the immediate past to provoke playful moments.
_suggestion:
_shift works best when your iPad or iPhone is placed stationary on a table or couch. Encourage your kids to make faces and play peek-a-boo. Guaranteed to make your kids more active!
_reviews:
"Kids will see themselves, make a wacky face, then laugh when they see their wacky face a few seconds later, and then laugh even harder when they see themselves laughing. There is no sound, no banner ads, nothing really to do but look and react. Its like a fun house mirror for kids." Cool Mom Tech
"Does exactly what it promises. I get to see my daughter giggling at herself giggling. Awesome."
"My 3.5 yr old played with this app for a large part of this snow day. Its brilliant simplicity had her enthralled. The best part was that it got her creative juices flowing and body moving."
_promise:
I’m not into apps designed for children that have unnecessary ads or ugly interfaces. _shift is elegant and minimal – it does one simple task and does it well.
