Review: Chuck and Friends: Friends for the Long Haul is an entertaining and educational app, jam packed with adventure.  My son is familiar with Chuck and his friends so when I told him about a new app we were going to try out he couldn't wait for it to finish downloading.  My 4 year old is able to navigate through the story and menu board all on his own.  I haven't recorded the whole book for him just yet but I think it would be pretty neat to have "Granddaddy" record it so he can hear him read it every night.  This app is $3.99 roughly the price of a small children's book but with so much more.  If you're looking for a way to entertain your child during dinner, in the car or to help them get to sleep while vacationing this summer, check out the Chuck and Friends: Friends for the Long Haul app. 

Buy it: You can download Chuck and Friends: Friends for the Long Haul on iTunes for $3.99.

Disclaimer: I received this app free of charge for review purposes.  No other compensation was received.  All views expressed are my own honest opinions.
