Tight bends, huge loops and dangerous ramps are just the start in Hot Wheels Unlimited, a thrilling rollercoaster-like racing app for kids with a suite of neat track-building and customisation options. The courses may look daunting, but racing is really easy to pick up. Steer left and right to traverse the many, many obstacles in your path and hit Boost for extra power as you battle your way to victory.

What we love: How the app replicates all the things kids love about the real-life toys. Kids can get creative building their own tracks (how about swapping that asphalt terrain for water, or even lava!), they can defy physics with out-of-this-world stunts (nothing’s cooler than seeing your car somersault through the air) and they can race against friends in two-player mode (game on!).

Quick tip: Completing races and finishing first gets you the coveted Red Wheels; unlock as many of these as possible to upgrade your Hot Wheels for an even speedier ride.

Meet the creator: Budge Studios has created tons of fun and colourful worlds for kids based on iconic toys and TV shows, including Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures, Strawberry Shortcake Bake Shop, Bluey: Let’s Play and PAW Patrol Rescue World.
