When Hervé Tullet published the picture book Press Here in 2011, a phenomenon was born. Kids and kids at heart followed the instructions in the book and embarked upon a journey where colorful dots danced, swirled, and seemed to move around the page—all powered by their own imaginations.

Now this beloved book has inspired a brand-new entertainment app that is sure to dazzle kids of all ages. Picking up where the book left off, this app introduces children to a magical world of brightly winking, blinking, multiplying, and colliding dots that create visually rich, intuitive play. Screen-poking tots and fun-loving adults alike will giggle with delight as the dots multiply, change direction, and grow in size.

With 15 original games and activities offering unlimited hours of fun, the Press Here app is a must-have for admirers of the book and a great introduction to Hervé Tullet for new fans. Plus, it’s available on the iPad and iPhone.

Buggy

Consistently crashed as soon as we started using it, also the UI is pretty confusing.

Should have read the reviews before purchasing

I have 3 complaints ( that many others have had as well): No sound No instructions No book! I bought this because my 15 month old loves the "Press Here" book but gets too excited and, sadly, has ripped several of the pages. I really wish there was a board book version but I was excited to see an app available as the 'story' seems like it would adapt wonderfully to a touch screen format. And hey, it's the digital age after all. I was bewildered to discover that the book's simple narrative game is nowhere to be found in this app. My disappointment was initially countered by the promise of many other games based on the books premise but that excitement quickly vanished when I realized that the games are confusing and yet all basically the same thing; tap and a dot appears. Worst of all, there's no sound which - despite the developers chipper assurance that you just need to tap MORE - seems to be an actual bug as no amount of tapping or Settings changes has resulted in sound. Total bust.

Great app for kids and adults!

Sound works perfectly in all screens especially the music box. Other reviewers obviously didn't play enough :) App is similar to wonderful books. Helps to open the imagination!

what??

Where's the book? where are some/any instructions? This is not what I thought I was getting, but the other reviews seemed to like it, so I'll persevere.....

For sound turn off mute switch

Fun app - when sound works. I had to turn off the physical mute switch on the side of the iPad to make the sound work. Enjoy!

I've seen the book but wasn't sure about the app., but I'm glad I purchased...tho it's a bit too young for my. 20 m old to figure out, the musical dots will entertain her and I get to play more (laugh).
