What it is: a set of interactive scenes with the firemen/firestation theme.

What you do with it: to 'open' each scene play a short 'connect the dots' game (with words like 'dial', 'fire' 'water'), then play with the interactive elements within the scene (dial the emergency number, dress the firefighter, put out the fire in the building).

What we liked: it's a nice app for all the children who are into the 'firefighters' theme. Simple, non-distracting graphics. Easy operation, includes visual hints for help.

What we didn't like: we believe that this app is aimed at younger kids, thus the 'connect the dots' activity (where you reveal various words) would be too difficult for them (we recommend turning it off, which can fortunately be done in the settings). We didn't like the choice of the words either - they should be better related with the scenes. The activities and interactions are very simple, only 3 or so per scene - we would like to see more! Only linear navigation (you can't access a particular scene). Some sort of voice instructions would be handy (e.g. climb the ladder and rescue the cat in the 'ladder' scene).
