My 2 year old has loved Leo the truck, Helper cars and Clever Cars (sometimes Hop Hop) since he was a few months old. He is autistic and these characters have helped him through tough doctors appointments and rainy days inside. The shows are educational and interactive so instead of him watching them alone, we can watch them together and interact together so it’s another thing we can do as a family instead of something that keeps us busy apart.
I have downloaded all the Leo games but this one is the best (though he really loves building the cars in Leo’s Cars) and we’ve bought the full versions over the span of a few weeks. Thank you to the devs for it being a one time price instead of another subscription. We wouldn’t be able to do another subscription. Now he can play the full version of the games with the characters he loves. This game is the most expensive of them all I believe but it’s not too bad, considering it’s a one time purchase. If we bought any game for him, it would be this one. It’s easy for him to grasp and he can easily ask me for help when he needs to, the game lets him take as long as he needs.
If I could suggest a few things, maybe put a few more Easter eggs of other shows in the games? He saw Max from Clever Cars and freaked lol.
And the ads on the free version are way too hard for a child to get out of and are too often for an adult to keep an eye on. I get ads are needed revenue but there has to be a way to make them less intrusive or tricky for a child to get out of or draw back the amount so there are at least several minuets in between.
Also if you could add building some cars like in Leo’s cars into the game? I know there is a whole separate game for that and that’s better for a full experience but maybe just a robot or a fire truck could be added to Leo’s world to build? He loves hearing the parts of the car said out loud and he knows where all the parts of a fire truck, garbage truck, and many other vehicles are.
He’s non verbal at this time, we expect him to talk soon, it will just be a bit later than most but he has built his knowledge base to the point most games are boring for him. Not these. They are simple without being boring and that’s a tough balance to get right.
Also we are patiently awaiting the time he can play as Leah and Lifty. Great game guys, and I’m happy to see it’s still getting regular updates. This is his favorite game by far, and the other Leo The Truck games are his runner ups lol. I rarely rate apps and I rarely give 5 stars to kids apps since alot of them take advantage of parents wanting to make their kids happy but this one doesn’t.
