After students have visited Jill at the Detective Academy for the first time, they will be able to access their Dpads from the Career Town map by clicking on the Dpad icon in the top right corner of the screen.

Apps that have been unlocked appear on the home screen of the Dpad. A star indicates which apps have new content for students to explore. Click on an app to open it.
