* There are 5 main games section you can choose to play in this app, Mountain Adventure (where you used helicopter to rescue stuck villagers), Neptune's Mission (where you use a rescue boat to rescue villagers), Fire Engine Rescue (rescue people and put out the fire), Connect the Hose (join back the missing puzzle pieces) and Quad Bike Training (riding a quad bike and avoiding obstacles)!

* There are 2 other games which you can select when you complete a particular game such as the sticker book and video player to view the snippets of Fireman Sam clips.

* I like that you can choose either Easy or Hard difficulty level before playing a game and I use the opportunity in this app to teach my boy on how rescue missions go about.

* In summary, this is a fun-filled and educational app which is a must for Fireman Sam's fans! Definitely must have!

* There are 2 main games section you can choose to play in this app, the GamePak which includes five fun game themes with over 30 engaging activities featuring Little Critter or the Digistix which is a colorful, interactive animated stickers with fun sound effects can be used over and over again!

* I like the counting games in the 'How Many?' (under GamePak section) where you select the correct number of objects on the screen, something that I'm going through with my 4 years old boy now in our learning lessons.

* Among the favorite games in this GamePak is the sticker book in the 'Picture Poof' (under Digistix section) which you can see cute animated surprises as you place the stickers on the screen and 'Letters' which I can definitely use when I'm teaching my boy on objects which begins with the corresponding alphabet letters.
