Carl the Super Truck Roadworks

What is it and what do you do with it: interactive play app with Carl the Super Truck and his vehicle 'friends'.

Repair roads and buildings, dig soil, drill tunnels and more. Extra features include mini-activities like changing Carl's outfit, visiting a car wash or making a pizza in a pizzeria. 4 main vehicles (including Dane the Demolition Crane, Billy the Bulldozer), 3 scenes for each vehicle.

What we liked: the concept. Simple scenes and interactions suitable even for young kids. Simple illustrations and animations. Fun vehicle 'characters'. Ease of use. No ads or other distracting features.

What we didn't like: limited educational value (no narration or spoken instructions). We wish there was more variety in the scenes and more interactive features.
