Children learning to count will vigorously tap on ads in excitement of counting, you can count on that. Solution: Add a ads bar below the game play. This will allow you to collect you ads funds, and it is still located next to the high tap location. Please correct this, for this app is a great learning tool for our youth. Thank you. ### 2/5 — Danny Boy *2014-04-07, version 2.2* My son loves this app so i took up the offer of the super deal for £2.49 on the 5/4/14 and he was delighted with all the extra features etc ! He wanted to play on it today 7/4/14 and found that all the features i payed for to unlock have now been locked again ? I certainly won't be paying for them a second time round so unfortunately i will be uninstalling it :( ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2013-09-11, version 1.5* Too many ads get in the way, trying to force you to buy the full app. Other than that its a good game. ### 3/5 — I like it but could be better *2013-06-26, version 1.5* My 3yrold likes this. We dont seem to have the problems that other reviewers have with clicking on the ads (i guess my child knows where to click?). But it gets old. Child gets bored w not much to do. Hence 3 star rating. ### 2/5 — Rip off *2013-06-05, version 1.5* This app places pieces a child needs to play the game right near adds and offers to buy games. ### 1/5 — Not For Kids! *2012-12-27, version 1.5* This app is an advertising trap. The games for kids have adds at the bottom that are active! Yeah, tap the fish! Just don't hit the giant ad at the bottom that is covering the fish or you get whisked away to purchase an app. These kind of apps should be banned. ### 3/5 — Too frustrating - needs improvements *2012-12-10, version 1.5* Could be a really good app but it is too frustrating at present. My daughter keeps on accidentally hitting the rather large and annoyingly positioned next/back buttons which means that she is constantly frustrated and needs assistance putting to back where it was. Of only the next/back buttons were moved out of the way - like maybe the top of the screen. ### 1/5 — Total advertising bait *2012-11-30, version 1.5* I understand supporting apps with advertising, especially when giving them away for free, but this app appears to be designed for little fingers to click on ads driving. You can't even complete the first counting game because the final "fish" appear underneath the advertising. Super bad if this was a design flaw, terrible if it was intentional. ### 1/5 — Do not recommend *2012-11-05, version 1.5* Ads should be targeted slightly better. Advertising rated R horror movies to my 3 year old??? I do not recommend. ### 1/5 — Turned off right from the get-go *2012-11-02, version 1.5* Buying an app for your toddler means having to weigh how entertaining it is against how many adverts/in-app purchases they might click on. This app is a minefield of these things as soon as it is opened, which makes it impossible for my toddler to use without my constant hovering to fix when he gets frustrated because the app took him somewhere he did not want to go. This app is unusable in it's current state. ### 1/5 — Death by advertising *2012-10-28, version 1.5* I second the other user's review. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2012-10-08, version 1.4* So many ads that child clicks them over and over again interrupting the game. Want you to purchase ad free version for $1.99, not worth that ### 3/5 — Too many adds. *2012-10-04, version 1.4* Way too many inappropriate adds. ### 4/5 — great app *2012-10-02, version 1.4* none of the annoying force you to buy me stuff. works great and my daughter loves it, could be more engaging after the first game, but for a three year old... it is a curiosity holder. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2012-09-16, version 1.4* To confusing for little ones to use way too many ads ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2015-03-22, version 2.4* Kids can't play any of the games because the ads cover everything they suppose to tap on. ### 1/5 — Awful. *2014-07-27, version 2.2* Ruined by Ad banners galore. Avoid. ### 1/5 — Would be nice if it wasn't set up to have kids download other apps *2014-06-10, version 2.2* The game could be decent, but it is really aggravating and dickish to put their adds in the exact same spot that a young child is smashing his fingers. Kids can't play the game without accidentally opening the ads. ### 1/5 — Too much self promotion *2014-04-10, version 2.2* I paid for all the features, but a recent update has resulted in very prominent self promotion for all the other apps. Uninstalled ### 1/5 — ads spoilt this app *2014-04-05, version 2.1* It's a Shame that google ads are exactly where you have to press in order to catch fish etc to go through to next level. Disappointed! Glad I never had to pay for it. Hope they eliminate the ads for the benefit of children's learning... ### 1/5 — Kids learning to count can't read your dumb ads *2014-03-01, version 2.1* This app was somewhat great and entertaining for my 2 year old while learning to count. However, now they have placed banner ads directly over the play area, making it impossible to utilize. Worthless. ### 1/5 — Ads placed in direct game play... *2013-02-14, version 1.5* Horrible. Ads placed in the exact area your little one needs to touch in order to play the game. Blatantly takes advantage of children. ### 1/5 — Could you make the ad any bigger? *2013-02-01, version 1.5* Pathetic. Deleted ### 1/5 — Not good *2013-01-21, version 1.5* Main thing, adverts in the big banner on the Bottom of the screen and this should be for kids ?? Think again they always touch the adverts not the fish ### 1/5 — Avoid. Not for kids *2013-01-15, version 1.5* Terrible. The only purpose of this game is to trick kids into clicking on the banner ad. There's a large banner ad at the bottom of the screen with fish jumping up barely clearing it. The goal is to touch the fish as they come up. Most of the time kids miss and click on the ad. There is no educational value in this game, just a despicable trick to get your kid to click on the ad. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Counting 123 is fun!! *2020-08-26, version 2.9* We love this game, I still play it when I am a big kid. Sometimes it crushes me too. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2015-04-21, version 2.4* Great for older kids who want to count to ten ### 5/5 — amazing👏🏼👏🏼 *2015-04-21, version 2.4* it helped my friends and I (we are 12) to count 😀 ### 5/5 — My little friends love this. *2012-09-30, version 1.4* I have grandchildren and Little friends who have lots of fun fishing, making the grasshopper hop and enjoy the celebration at the end. Great help in learning to count. Thanks ### 5/5 — Wonderful apps *2012-09-29, version 1.4* Thanks for the great apps. Tab tales are the only ones that I trust. ### 5/5 — Great pre counting app *2012-08-13, version 1.4* My son uses this app and he is not even 2 years old! He loves it and it reinforces numbers 1-10. The app has several number games. Definitely worth downloading for teaching counting. ### 5/5 — Counting *2012-07-18, version 1.4* Great learning tool for preschool ### 5/5 — Fun contingente app *2012-04-20, version 1.2* My little daughters love it ### 5/5 — Great app *2012-02-13, version 1.1* Great app ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2012-01-30, version 1.1* This is a wonderful game.
