Education
Not rated for education.
Entertainment
Not only are children going to get the chance to experiment and explore the Police Station, but they can also create their own scenes with officers, crooks, and others. Everything from taking an urgent call to booking a bad guy is included in this app and kids are going to love this app. In addition to the free play function that allows children to play on their own, there is also a ‘game’ of sorts included. The more players explore the station and interact with the various items like walkie-talkies etc. there are hidden hearts to be found. Once players collect seven hearts, they get to choose a new fish to be added to the fish tank as their reward. While simple, this additional game does add a bit more entertainment to the app which is great for young users.
Value
Priced at just under three dollars this app isn’t one that will break the bank. While it doesn’t have a ton of extras in terms of additional activities and games for children to enjoy, the free-play set up allows players to move through the app on their own. With that said, this is likely one app that will become a family favorite especially for little ones who love the police etc.
Child Friendliness
Not only have the developers done a great job keeping this app easy to use for children of all ages, but they have also ensured that it’s safe for little ones to use too. Without a ton of instruction or help, children can move freely through the app and explore the police station as they see fit. There are some parents only areas that are protected which is great too.
