SmackTalk! 1.1 for iPhone

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Entertainment, New Apps, $1.99

Sometimes, it’s the simplest apps that turn out to be the best, and SmackTalk! for the iPhone proves that point. You see, all SmackTalk does it record your voice, and play it back to you at a faster speed. However, they also have animals whose heads move when it plays back your voice, so it appears that a hamster (or cat, or dog, etc.) is repeating back to you what you said. Kids love this, as I have witnessed first-hand. Check out the video above for a demo, and you’ll be wanting to grab SmackTalk for $1.99 from the App Store.

One of the applications has 5 activities that include a coloring book, stories, finger painting, reading/recording aloud and a hidden image game.
