Review (3/5): Star Wars Toothpaste with brushing app
I received the Crest Pro-Health Jr. Disney Star Wars Toothpaste free from Crest in return for my review. My 10 year old son used the toothpaste, toothbrush, and the Disney Magic Timer App that ties in with the products for several days. The toothpaste is "not his favorite" because of the flavor. He wasn't a fan of the minty flavor and would have preferred something more like bubble gum. The tied in app which will cue off of either the toothpaste or the toothbrush was effective at getting him to brush for a full 2 minutes.
I have no opinion on the toothpaste but will mention that the app is a pain for parents. It obviously ties up you mobile device while your kids are brushing their teeth, but it is a space hog. On my iPad the Magic Timer is my second largest space user at 530 MB. The app itself is large at 209 MB for what it does, but each time a new character set is downloaded the space balloons. The 530 MB is for 2 children each having one character set. It will go up if we buy another character. I’ve found toothbrushes like the Firefly to be just as effective at extending brushing to 2 minutes and my son enjoys them more.
Overall he liked the system, but he would prefer a different flavor and smaller toothbrush.
