What it is/what you do with it: drive around your farm with a vehicle (or animal) of your choice (tractor, farm truck, combine harvester, cat, horse, pickup truck or monster truck) and complete simple missions: feed and milk cows, shear sheep, pick vegetables in the garden etc (5 missions in total).

What we liked: the concept. Fun 'driving' experience. Humor and fun factor. 3D visuals. Sounds and sound backgrounds. Easy controls. No ads or other distracting features.

What we didn't like: educational value could be higher. No spoken instructions. We wish there was more variety in the 'missions' (they can quickly get repetitive).

Tilt the tablet or phone to navigate the car around one of the 15 tracks (5 themed sets, 3 tracks each: Wood Toy, Space, Candy, Sports and Western.

What we liked: the concept. Good variety of fun tracks. Simple controls. Ease of use. No distracting elements.

What we didn't like: we wish there were more interactions with various objects found around the tracks (some kinds may find the 'driving' boring quite quickly). Car design is very basic. Car designs are not saved.
