What it is and what you do with it: interactive play app with 13 scenes (4 scenes available in the free version), e.g. Bathroom, Bedroom, Laundry, Swimming Pool, Barbecue, Pony Stable etc.

Complete various tasks to earn coins which can be exchanged for virtual toys in the toy shop.

For example you'll have to clean the bathtub, sink and toilet in the bathroom, fix broken fence or sort, wash and iron clothes in the laundry room.

What we liked: the concept. Good variety of scenes with many simple 'chores'. Fun characters. Narration and spoken instructions. Simple rewards system with coins and virtual toys.

What we didn't like: some activities offer more variety than others. Expensive extension packs.

What it is and what you do with it: interactive talking puppet game with extra activities.

Talk to the teddy (he will repeat what you say in a funny voice), take care of him (e.g. feed him, wash etc), play mini-games and complete tasks and chores to earn lollipops (which can be exchanged for food, special magic potions, decoration items or extra clothes or fur for your friend).

What we liked: the concept. Tons of options, extras and props (5 scenes, 18 mini-games, unlockable levels, daily quests, character/environment customization options etc). Fun main character (with a range 'reactions' and 'emotions'). Cool 3D visuals and animations. Ease of use.

What we didn't like: full page video ads. Limited educational value.
