What is Barbie Magical Fashion?
Barbie: Magical Fashion is a virtual princess dress up game that allows future fashionistas to create different looks for their princess.
This app is rated for everyone and can be found in both the App Store and the Google Play Store. Barbie: Magical Fashion features in-app purchases and advertisements.
Players select their princess and creates looks by selecting everything from hair style and color to designing glamorous necklaces.
In Barbie: Magical Fashion, children are able to save the looks they create, which can be fun. However, customers have expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of real options the app has to offer.
Is Barbie Magical Fashion safe for my kids?
Barbie: Magical Fashion is only safe for kids with parental supervision because it includes many in-app purchases and advertisements throughout the game.
The default, free options for the Barbie: Magical Fashion app are somewhat limited. Some items and sought after princesses, like Mermaid and Unicorn, are locked unless purchased, which can be frustrating for young children who can see the items, but not access them. In-app purchases range in price from $1.99 to $14.99, with princesses costing $5.99 each.
Barbie: Magical Fashion is geared towards children of preschool age to 8 years old, so parents may want to set parental controls on purchasing activity through their mobile device, and communicate clearly with older children regarding rules and expectations for online purchases.
The app has many ads and purchasing packages does not remove advertising from the platform.
Another common user complaint is the lack of darker skin-toned princesses in the game, which can be disappointing for young children looking for a princess similar to themselves.
