App Review: “Moana Island Life”

How far will you go to become a Master Wayfinder like Moana? With the newly released game by Disney, Moana Island Life, you can find out!

Continue the adventure after the movie Moana ends with an interactive app that will give you the chance to explore Oceania and learn how to become a Master Wayfinder with the help of Moana, Maui, and other islanders. In completing tasks on your new island, you will learn how to farm, fish, build structures and find other islands to expand your skills. I particularly enjoyed Maui’s timed tests, which earns your rare rewards.

This game has a very similar layout to other apps released by Disney, which really helps. I did find that the game does have a bit of a learning curve, though. You receive help and guidance from Moana and other islanders in the beginning, but once you are left on your own, I spent a good amount of time trying to figure out what do and how to advance. But, once I got it, I really started to enjoy exploring! This is an app I won’t be deleting soon.

Head over to the Apple App Store, Google Play, or the Amazon App Store to download this game for free with optional in-app purchases. You won’t regret finding your own way with the help of your friends from Moana!
