### 5/5 — My review

*2024-10-26*

I love based on 10 blocks because I feel like I can you know like do all those fun stuff you can teach

### 3/5 — Place value of decimals

*2024-09-18*

The place value of the numbers in the tenths and hundredths place is not correct. 1/10 appear as 0.01 rather than 0.1.  1/100 appears as 0.001.

### 3/5 — Good but tiles are too small for kids

*2023-05-13, version 4.0.5*

As written in the title

### 2/5 — Difficult to use, no undo button

*2020-09-12*

For example, the one blocks don't automatically snap together so sometimes we unwittingly put one on top of another, hiding the one block. This problem should never happen, in my opinion. But when it does, there's no undo so it's difficult to figure out where the hidden block went. The blocks are so small, even on a ten inch ipad, it happens more than you'd think.
Better than nothing I guess.

### 5/5 — I remember using these with my educational tutor.

*2020-06-26*

Great app. The is a bug or maybe something that I don’t understand. The decimals show tenths as 0.01 instead of 0.1. And the blocks for ones and hundredths seem to be switched.

### 1/5 — Took more money on purchase

*2020-05-06, version 4.0.3*

$2.99 and $4.99  and subtraction didn’t work

### 5/5 — Great Math Tool

*2020-04-21*

This is really helping me teach my students with remote learning.

### 5/5 — It’s good

*2019-10-16*

Fun to use

### 1/5 — Lynda

*2019-06-11, version 3.0.3*

Don’t buy 
They ask for a nickname before your allowed to send a review
It says the nickname is taken if you give a low star rating!!!!!!!

This is a very annoying app.

Despite what appears simple instructions I can’t get it to work

I have a similar, easier to use app with better colours, easier commands and MUCH MORE child friendly!

Also after the free trial I was automatically charged!

### 5/5 — It’s a great game

*2019-02-27, version 3.0.3*
