1. Fire Station

Ages 3-8
Overall rating: 4.3 out of 5 stars

Why we like it: This virtual field trip lets you explore community helpers — especially a fire station — by way a set of well-chosen videos embedded in the app. Testers liked the hand-drawn images and the background music which can be toggled on or off.

Need to know: Note that this is a big app, weighing in at 400MB due to the embedded videos. It is a good app for any child (or adult) who wants some real-world information and experiences. See this video review.

Ease of use: 10/10
Educational: 9/10
Entertaining: 9/10
