What it is/what you do with it: a video player with about 50 Thomas and Friends videos (full episodes and clips) plus 3 activities:

Track Builder game - create your own interactive train set: draw the track with a finger, then add railway buildings, trees, ponds to complete the set.

Track Repair game - find missing pieces to repair the track.

Steam Team Snapshots sticker scene - choose a background and complete the scene using a variety of stickers.

What we liked: the concept. Good range of Thomas and Friends related content (videos and themed games). Original Thomas and Friends illustrations and animations. Ease of use. Narration and spoken instructions. Sound backgrounds and sounds.

What we didn't like: the video player has very basic functionality. The games could offer more variety and features.
