Would my request increase or decrease my experience of dissonance?
I experienced frustration using this app with my child. I would love to participate in a beta of an attempt that allows the musical selections to continue while exploring the interactive elements. I appreciate the cacophony that might ensue in the current implementation - given that most of the interaction includes audio. If I could overcome my selfish desire to listen to the musical selections without interruption, I wouldn't have to hold the app at arms length to prevent my toddler's haptic exploration. while the interruption of the musical selection doesn't deter him from exploring the app ( It thoroughly engages my 2-year old - he'd probably give it five stars.) he experiences very little of the included music from within the app when using it independently.
