1. Research and development led to innovations in driving controls

Most kids driving apps are designed to be used with two hands. One thumb for steering the vehicle and the other thumb for accelerating. That’s a problem because children under five only use one finger to engage with the touch screen. We solved this by designing a touch-sensitive steering wheel. By combining both the steering wheel and accelerator, just touching the wheel drives the trucks like they would on floors at home! Wherever and however they want.

2. A focus on creative play makes for a unique experience every time you start the app

We focused on guided creative play. Children can choose to complete missions to earn hard hats. In the build mode children can add roads, bridges, tunnels, trees and more to customize their environment. The environment loops on itself so that the trucks don't get stuck and your child never loses their place.

3. Parental controls that actually work

Parental controls were not an afterthought. In the iPad or iPhone settings, parents can regulate the length of play and break time. When the specified play time is over, a break whistle appears and prevents further play until break time is done. Parents complete the narrative with their kids by saying, “Oh, it looks like the workers are on break!”. Parents can also manage the sound effects of the app if they become a little too authentic. :)
