### 1/5 — Try again

*2016-04-28, version 1.0*

Sorry can't recommend as a fractions app.  Not enough on screen help.  Had to guess my way through what I needed to do.

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2015-04-03, version 1.0*

Nice app, good mix of play and math - the slicing feature took me a couple tries though, is there a way to have the slicing tutorial right there by the slicing station?
