Usefulness:

This game is very entertaining and simple, yet challenging. There are so many different levels and sub-levels that it seems nearly impossible to get bored with the game or finish it too quickly. The premise of the game is that pigs have stolen the birds' eggs and so the birds must launch themselves at the pigs to squash them and recover their eggs.

This game is great for children and adults and it has a great range and variety of scenarios which would entertain most people. The levels vary in difficulty but there does not seem to be any level that is impossible to complete. Some can be very frustrating, but only really require a little creativity and patience to complete.

The game seems to function smoothly on a tablet, but it might cause some glitches or freeze up on a phone or tablet that is not very powerful due to the relatively large file size of the game. Despite that, the backgrounds and sound can be switched off to help the game run better and improve battery life.

Because it is a free game, there are occasional advertisements that pop up in the corner of the screen. The ads are not very distracting and none of them seemed to be inappropriate for children who might be playing the game.

Ease of Use:

This game is very easy to play and it provides some helpful hints along the way as you advance and more play options are added to the game. The menus are very simple and easy to navigate as well, making for an overall easy experience.

Value:

The Angry Birds game application has great value in that it is free with some small advertisements. It is surprising how many different levels the game offers for being a free game. The developers also offer a few different Angry Birds games that are themed, like Angry Birds Seasons.
