My kiddos love them and are sad they can’t play them anymore! ### 1/5 — Undeveloped *2018-08-14* The developer of this app has not updated it to be compatible with iOS 11 rendering it useless, especially annoying since I did pay for this app! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2017-12-02* BUT It hasn’t been upgrades to the new IOS by the developers 😕 ### 1/5 — Big let down *2014-12-29* My son loves the interactive alphabet, so I was really excited to this app for him but to our disappointment it wasn't even close. My son found this app very boring and kept looking for more games to play. A waste of .99. ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2013-09-16* This is great for small groups of kids. They can work on numbers and motor skills at the same time. The song and bees are really cute. I wish I could choose a larger number to start the game for older kids. ### 5/5 — Great game *2013-06-01* My son is autistic and he loves this game and it has really helped with his numbers ### 5/5 — Four year old loves it... *2012-08-25* She plays this one all the time. The music is memorable, sort of bees buzzing a song, beware - you'll be humming it all day. Gameplay is smooth on iPad 3 and professionally done like all of Pi'ikeas apps. The artwork is gorgeous. My 4 year old has no trouble navigating this app on their own. I would like to see counting By 2's 3's etc. this app is well worth a purchase. ### 1/5 — Half star *2012-05-15* There must be something wrong with my download because the audio is horrible... It sounds like its skipping!!! ### 2/5 — Boring *2012-03-22* I bought this for my son who's 3 and still a big fan of both the Interactive Alphabet and Memory Train. He played it for about 5 minutes before I deleted it. It's slow, boring and the buzzing is annoying. He became frustrated thinking there must be something more. There's not. ### 3/5 — Great App but... *2012-03-06* It goes really slow. When you drag the bees to the flowers it takes a long time. My preschooler gets impatient waiting. Speed it up a little and it would be perfect. ## Frequently asked questions about Counting Bees ### What ages is Counting Bees recommended for?
