Each game is easy to play, but rather difficult to master. Users can create, design, train, and improve their virtual athlete. There are 3 different modes to select: training, Olympic, and challenge modes.

There are two versions of the app to choose from; standard or premium. The standard London 2012 Official Mobile Game can be downloaded from the app store for free. The premium version costs just $.99.
