What’s It About?
The fun at DR. PANDA'S SWIMMING POOL starts in the dressing room, where kids choose a swimsuit for each animal character. They can use the toilet, take a shower, blow-dry their hair, and towel off. From there, they can go to three swimming areas by choosing one from the map: There is an inflatable pool, a boat, and an indoor pool. Once they choose a location, kids can move the characters around, fix snacks and feed them, and have them swim and play with toys.
Is It Any Good?
Dr. Panda's Swimming Pool is another Dr. Panda hit for the youngest app users, bringing open-ended imaginative play to the tablet. Since there are no objectives, kids are free to explore and play, just as they would with nondigital toys. Kids can change among characters throughout play, and the objects move realistically, falling onto the ground or floating in the pool.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
