Miss Spider apps

Miss Spider Apps are children's apps for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch published by Callaway Digital Arts. They can be purchased in Apple's App Store and feature the beloved character Miss Spider, who also appears in the bestselling books by David Kirk and the Nick Jr. program Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends.

The apps contain a storybook with spoken narration and animations when certain images are pressed; a CGI-animated movie of the story; a memory game; several jigsaw puzzles; and a painting game.

In "Read" mode, the Miss Spider apps function mostly like a book, with words displayed under pictures. Users can click on the bottom of the screen to "turn the page," and when they touch the picture, faint white circles appear that animate characters or other aspects of the picture when touched. There is also an optional narration mode, where the book is read aloud.

In "Watch" mode, the story is turned into a movie, animated with CGI. Words along the bottom are highlighted as they are spoken. In Miss Spider's Tea Party, the storybook version is followed exactly, whereas in Miss Spider's Bedtime Story, some additional elements are added.

Match mode works just like a Miss Spider–themed memory game. Users click on overturned "cards" to see if they match. Miss Spider's Tea Party featured 30 cards, while in Miss Spider's Bedtime Story, users can choose between 16 and 30 cards.

Paint mode presents users with several different black-and-white images of Miss Spider and other characters in the book, and several different "brushes" and colors. Users select a color and a brush size, then "paint" the pictures using a finger. Users can save images to the iPad's Camera Roll. To "clear" the image, users shake the iPad.

Puzzle mode features six different Miss Spider–themed jigsaw puzzles. Users move the pieces into place with their fingers. An animation displays upon completion.
