Value

Priced at just under five dollars this app is a bit more than you might normally pay for an app like this, but when you consider the number of songs, musicians and the variety of instruments that can be used, the price is pretty fair. For parents who don’t mind the price, this app is sure to become a family favorite as kids sing and play for hours.

Child Friendliness

The developers have done a nice job keeping the app safe and easy to use. With simple tap and touch functions, children can change instruments and remove some of the other instruments from the background music to see how it sounds. The developers have also made sure to protect the “parent” areas of the app. While the app is very easy to use and safe too, there is one thing that could be added to make it a bit more user friendly. Adding text highlighting with the words would make it easier for early readers to follow along with the song.

Parents will also be happy to know that there are no social media links or additional advertisements to worry about. Children can simply enjoy the wonderful story all on their own.

Santa's Merry Band is a great app for music lovers that allows children to explore various instruments and enjoy a variety of unique holiday songs.
