Key Features of My Friend Freddy Bear
Freddy is the bear who REALLY knows you!
Simply type in 50 questions about the child (you don’t need to answer them all). Freddy will then incorporate these details into the things he says. Little ones will be amazed that their bear knows all about them.
There is also an ‘Album’ page for entering any information about friend and family, which Freddy Bear will also incorporate into his conversation. They can also record their own messages for Freddy to repeat.
All this can be done without even taking Freddy Bear home. (N.B. Only the Settings area of the app can be accessed without pairing with Freddy Bear – the stories and games will be unavailable.) No information is ever fed back to or collected by the app publisher. The tablet or phone can be moved away from Freddy Bear while he is talking, so it doesn't have to be left with the child.
