The app is an award winning digital adaptation of the well-known fairy tale the Three Little Pigs. It contains a fairly moderate amount of activities for children to get involved. While some interactions are not as intuitive as one might expect, for example, when the third little pig carries bricks and waiting for children to help, it is not clear what the child need to do to help building the house, it may also be an opportunity for children to tap around the screen to explore. The app is good for training comprehension skills as the children need to understand what they are expected from the characters. Overall, the app may be helpful to develop children's digital literacy and get children familiarised themselves with basic skills (tapping, swiping, blowing to the microphone, etc) in playing with touchscreens.
Other notable themes and features of the app include Fairytales, Stories, UK dialect.
