What’s It About?
In SAGO MINI SUPERHERO, kids can tap Jack the rabbit's house to bring him outside in his jaunty superhero cape. Then, kids can tap and drag to guide Jack around the city, where he encounters animals large and small. Each animal has a problem that needs to be solved, and Jack helps them in various ways: He gives ice cream to an upset octopus, helps friends share a cake, and returns a baby bird to its nest. Jack can also pilot a carrot-shaped helicopter around the town. Yellow dots indicate spots where kids can tap to trigger animations; there are more than 30, and the animations and interactions repeat as many times as kids care to tap them.
Is It Any Good?
As in other Sago Sago apps, this is a sweet, safe, and very user-friendly app for little ones, but its limited interactivity and repetition don't encourage replaying. Perhaps the best thing about it is what an ordinary superhero Jack is: He shares and helps instead of fighting or defeating the giant animals. The positive message about what it means to be super is great for kids, but it's slightly conflicted when Jack helps another character add graffiti to a billboard, which some parents won't appreciate. Also, since the only interactivity revolves around making Jack fly and tapping to watch animations, some kids might not return after they play through all the hot spots.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about what Jack does to help the other animals. What makes him a hero? How can kids be heroes with their own friends?
Talk about how important it is to do the things that Jack does, such as sharing, helping, and keeping other people safe.

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.
