## What is Counting Ants Lite?

Counting Ants Lite is a great app for early learning - perhaps the best way to help your toddler practice counting to ten on the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. It's also a great way to introduce your kids to a second (or third!) language. 

This app features adorable ants that zip around in their cars, while teaching kids the basics of counting. 

The app automatically rotates through five minigames to keep your toddler engaged while they learn to count. 

Minigames include: 
• Count the ducks 
• Count the fish 
• Count the fruit 
• Count the train cars 
• Find the number 

The minigames and toddler-friendly interface make learning incredibly easy and fun. The scenes are fully interactive and simple for young children to control even if they don't yet know how to read. 

Counting Ants Lite includes both English and Spanish and also offers support for additional languages via in-app purchase.  Supported languages include Chinese, Japanese, Russian, French, Italian, Hungarian, Ukrainian and German.

Please let us know if there's additional content you'd like to see added - we're excited to add support for more languages and happy to take requests.


Happy Counting!

### 5/5 — How much I love it.

*2020-04-27, version 4.0*

It is amazing I love it it helped me learn numbers I like the colored cars I like the ants hair and why I love it is because it makes me think about numbers and I play it a lot but I would like to learn more from it.thank you the people who work for it.(10000000000000 thank yous)

### 5/5 — Very good game

*2020-04-05*

It is a very good game in my opinion

### 5/5 — great app

*2014-04-19*

My granddaughter loves this app!

### 2/5 — Not age appropriate

*2013-10-20*

The small writing is not kid friendly... The instructions should be spoken, otherwise the kids are just watching ants drive across the screen, with no idea what to do with them.

### 5/5 — Cute

*2013-09-26*

Brilliant for kids

### 4/5 — Change the music please

*2013-06-28*

Grandson likes this app (20 mos.)  Offers enough variety and skill level, and it entertains him; finds the ants riding bikes behind the ants in cars funny.  However, there needs to be a change in music either as the number of ants increases or as each scene changes.  By the time there are 5 ants on the screen we are both bored with the sound and have trouble staying focused or keeping the app going.

### 1/5 — doesn't work

*2013-04-30*

I deleted this app as it never progressed beyond the number one.

### 5/5 — Captures Attention

*2013-01-20*

My grandson loves this app

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2013-01-18*

I love this app! It has helped my son with counting and one to one correspondence.

### 3/5 — Cute

*2013-01-15*

A cute app, not bad for a freebie.  It engaged my kids rather well.
