Chomper Chums‪®‬ 4+

I never write reviews but I was so impressed by this simple app. It clearly was made with the health of your child in mind. They have come up with a way to encourage healthy hygiene and eating habits. I like how it shows where to brush and floss while the timer is going during the toothbrushing. I think it helps my son to get a little bit more of an understanding of what I’m doing when I’m brushing his teeth, and therefore helps him to feel more relaxed. I think that this will help him to brush the correct way on his own eventually. It’s also really neat how you earn coins and points for brushing and flossing and rinsing and then you can use those coins you have earned to buy your character food and drink, and you can choose to buy either healthy food or unhealthy food for your character, and those choices actually make an impact on the health of your character. So the child is being rewarded for good oral hygiene habits as well as good eating habits in this truly exceptional, yet simplistic tooth brushing app.

This app was a game changer in my house. My 5-year-old grandson lives with me while his mother is deployed with the Navy. He and I have a wonderful relationship with the exception of one thing: brushing teeth. He hated it. Hated the taste of toothpaste, too. Bedtime was a struggle just to get him to brush. Well, I heard about this app on the “Sawbones” podcast. What a difference! Now brushing twice a day is fun! We brush our teeth together as we follow the animals as they brush. The little germs are cute too! And one thing I learned along the way is that I was not brushing long enough! So Chompers taught me something too. This free app clearly had a lot of thought and work put into it by its designers. I wish to thank them for offering it for free and for making brushing fun in my house!

I love this app. My 3 year old has Sensory Processing Disorder and it used to be a knock down drag out fight to get him to brush his teeth. Recently he and his little brother (19 months) have been obsessed using this. They brush for the 2 minutes, and then want to go through the floss and rinse part to continue to brush their teeth. Fantastic app for anyone with a headstrong kiddo!
