Little Tiger: Fire Truck, Submarine, Spaceship
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's It About?
LITTLE TIGER: FIRE TRUCK, SUBMARINE, SPACESHIP introduces kids to different vehicles and shows some examples of how they're used. Kids first choose two of the four animal characters (tiger, elephant, panda, and unicorn) and then select the fire truck, submarine, or spaceship. The two animal friends then set off on an adventure that kids help control. As the animals drive along, kids can tap on items to help shape the adventure. If they are in the fire truck, they might choose the cat to save from a tree, flames to put out a fire, or a tree to clear the road, or they might loop-de-loop for a wild ride. The submarine journey has water skis, a rowboat, a fishing pole, a submarine, and a ramp to jump over. The space adventure is a bit different in that the spaceship doesn't move on the ground. But kids can pick up differently shaped space rocks, invite an astronaut friend to join the trip, or blast off into space.
Is It Any Good?
This simple vehicle experience is free of distractions, making it just right for toddlers who are learning how apps work. Little Tiger: Fire Truck, Submarine, Spaceship isn't a terribly in-depth or lengthy app which makes it appropriate for toddlers who are easily entertained but also easily overwhelmed. They can put out fires and save kittens and search for treasure without a lot of difficult controls. Or maybe they want to launch into space over and over with different animal friends each time. Though it's not going to teach them to read, it's a fun, age-appropriate romp with all the features kids love.

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
