Furby Boom itself is a fluffy Something that his feelings well mediated by the animated eyes. It is very reminiscent of the good old Tamagotchi. Droll movements and sounds while dancing or when you tickle it ensure that the motivation to play with him in the course of time even increases. The successful way of interacting with him made me very surprised. The right from the start given by him at every appropriate and inappropriate occasion of themselves song soon became the catchy tune. A switch in vain, however, he falls asleep as soon as you put him on his back (the way described in the instructions to take him on longer pulling the tail also to sleep, has not yet working).
After the first game tests without associated APP, of course you also should be tested, what opportunities can be opened up over here yet. After shut-lay of about 270 MB (!) Large free app followed the second disenchantment, both on a Medion Tablet (Android 4.4) as well as a new smartphone (Android 4.2) could not be contacted. A subsequently conducted research revealed that this app currently only supports the following devices: Samsung Galaxy S2, S3, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and Galaxy Note 2, Amazon Kindle Fire HD (except 3rd generation), Google / Asus Nexus 7, Motorola Droid RAZR Maxx HD (except Model XT926), Toys R Us Tabeo). Amazingly, it worked but, despite not standing on the list, then still with a Huawei smartphone (Android 4.4), so that the problems associated with the app features such as showers, for example, Furby or send to toilet are possible.
Well, I must ungrudgingly acknowledge that enthusiasm is barely slowing. Especially the toilet functions are tested extensively, the joy is great, once come to light scented roses as a result of toileting.
Also the available after a short playing time wage, the first egg, again brings new opportunities: After hatching, there is a small Furbling. This of course needs a name, which you can pick and choose: Here, the manufacturers have given free rein to their creativity: there are various Furbische Silbenkombinatinen available, all of which have a funny translation. In addition, there are then 3 mini games (Furbball, hiding places and singing) to make them happy to the little ones.
And in the further course there are more eggs, so you can fill the Furby City to finally win the golden egg
In conclusion, one can say that Furby Boom is a very nice varied toys, with girls to about 10 years probably should be the preferred target group. One point deduction but it must be, in my opinion, because on the one hand no batteries were attached and especially as a connection is established through the app is apparently possible with each tablet / phone. In addition, it does not appear necessary in view of not just low purchase price that are in-app purchases provided.
In addition, you should of course be aware in advance that to seduce his child more time on smart phone or tablet, if one makes it a Furby Boom a gift
