App description

Melody Jam is an entertaining musical app suitable for young children. The aim is to put a five-member band together by mixing and matching different friendly alien characters. Each alien plays a distinct tune on a different instrument, or sings, dances, or juggles. The player can also play along on a selection of instruments, such as keyboard, percussion, and glockenspiel as well as other instruments. There are 3 different stage settings, each featuring 12 different characters and sounds to choose from.  

Reviewers comments

The app's animations are high-quality and appealing, featuring endearing alien characters. Children can explore different instruments and sound effects and discover how they sound in combination. The app is programmed in such a way that whichever aliens are matched, the resulting sound is always in key. The play-along instruments are also matched in key, allowing the child to be creative and adding to the song while at the same time getting a sense of achievement. Rhythmic skills can be practised through the percussion instruments. The app can be used intuitively, is completely free of ads, in-app purchases and online connectivity and is therefore a suitable choice for a young audience.
