My son found this app very boring and kept looking for more games to play. A waste of .99. ### 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. ### 2/5 — No *2011-12-25* Looks like developers got lazy with this one. Boring, nothing interesting. You really think that kids can do this same thing over and over and over. No! They just don't play it ever again! Shame and waste of cute bee design ### 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. ### 3/5 — Good, but not great for toddlers *2011-12-17* Great for preschoolers, but not as fun as other Pikea games for toddlers. My 1.5 year old likes this game, but he doesn't understand he needs to drag the bees to the flowers. Please add the following for a five star rating: * a mode that counts bees just by touching them * some interaction with the bees that peak out from edge * some interaction with the bear honey jar ### 4/5 — Please update! *2019-02-06* Please update your apps. My kiddos love them and are sad they can’t play them anymore! ### 4/5 — It's a start! *2011-12-20* I like it, but: needs a baby/toddler mode similar to the interactive alphabet. Also a free play mode where they can land as many bees as they want. The numbers on the honey jar could be black or dark brown so you can see it better against the background. It's cute how the bees laugh when you touch them. Seems like a good start but just needs something more. ### 4/5 — Interesting and challenging *2011-12-18* The usual excellent and charming Piikea design! What's unusual about this game is that to count the bees the child has to drag them to the flowers - making the game a small challenge, good for developing fine motor skills. Another review faulted this aspect - for my 2.5 yr old it's a little trying too but also rewarding for him when he succeeds. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app *2017-12-02* BUT It hasn’t been upgrades to the new IOS by the developers 😕 ### 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. ### 5/5 — Great for counting with the bonus of fine motor! *2011-12-29* Nice app for counting. The music is relaxing and my daughter can play it by herself. The bonus of including fine motor skills keeps the counting interesting. Would be cool to have a setting to count by 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, etc. ### 5/5 — Great counting game!!!!!! *2011-12-15* I love it, it teaches the numbers step by step, great counting game!!!!!! I love the bees smile :-) !!!!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
