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.

A Lot or a Little?
The parents' guide to what's in this app.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Shopkins: Shoppie Dash! is an arcade-like game in which players move their Shoppies around Shopville and Petkins Park to deliver packages to pets and other object "friends." The app's 50 levels include characters that will be recognizable to serious Shopkins fans. Players must complete each level (which takes no more than a minute) to move onto the next level.

What’s It About?
To play SHOPKINS: SHOPPIE DASH!, simply tap the level you're on, and the package that you need to find and the character you must deliver the package to both appear. Tap to move the character forward, and swipe to move her left or right or turn her around. Stop to avoid objects moving down the street and time your taps to cross the street when there are no obstacles. If the character runs into an obstacle, the player hears "Oh, oh!" and the Shoppie drops the package.
Is It Any Good?
Shopkins fans will love finding and delivering packages to yet another cute animal or object friend through 50 levels, but what it delivers in cuteness, it lacks in challenging gameplay. Still, the surprise of which character comes next, the small challenge of moving around obstacles, and finding both the package and the character may be more than enough to please fans. Parents who aren't fond of the general shopping promotion that Shopkins is known for likely will find just as much not to like in Shopkins: Shoppie Dash!, with the constant focus on shopping and numerous objects among the "friends" to whom Shoppies deliver packages. Thankfully, there are no in-app purchases, so even though kids are receiving the not-so-subtle messages about accumulating stuff, parents won't feel pressured to shell out more and more money within the app.

Tap into your Shopkins' fans' creative minds. Ask them about what's happening as they're delivering the packages. If they typically play with Shopkins toys in imaginary play, there may be much more going on in their minds when playing this app than just tapping and swiping.
