Overall Score: 90/100

Best for: Interactive play, Attention & concentration, Eye-hand coordination, Interaction, Music & art, Personal & social, Thinking & problem solving
What it is: 7 interactive play scenes featuring a boy named Lucas, who can be turned into different characters.
What you do with it: using the special 'machine' (the Locomaster) turn the boy into a funny animal character and than enter the play scene for some activities: e.g. turn the boy into a crocodile and feed him strawberries or turn him into a mouse jumping from the table etc.
What we liked: the concept, beautiful illustrations, cute characters, animations and sounds, simple tasks, humor and fun factor.
What we didn't like: too few interactive elements (you tap many objects just out of curiosity and unfortunately the don't don't do anything). No spoken instructions (for younger kids we recommend parental assistance for helping to figure out what to do on every page). The navigation could be a bit easier. For younger children the interactive objects may be too small (e.g. the 'spider' scene requires rather precise movements).
Bottom line: a nice app just for fun and smiles.
