Customizable

Great for counting practice! The options for settings allows for variety and adjustability.

A request (would have emailed but couldnโ€™t get that link to work) - the count from slide bar is difficult to use when wanting a precise number. If I want to adjust to count by 5s, I need the count from to start at five. I canโ€™t get to five on the slide without it jumping over the number when scrolling or if I get it there, as I let go it slides away.

Never ends

I like the app. I wish there was an option for a reward sound for successfully completing the number sequence set and an option to repeat the sequence.

Cool

Good

No landscape mode

Please. bring landscape Mode. Very frustrating. Using it in portrait mode

Does what it says

Literally impossible to change max to 100 though. Just spent a full 5 miniatures trying that one slider :p

Great for counting

Love how this app let my daughter play with numbers!

Request

Does not work with small fingers. Please fix it. My 8 month daughter is frustrated. Thank you

Great concept

Overall I like this app. It would be helpful in settings to have a feature to limit how high the numbers go. It would help kids get a sense of accomplishment as they hit the limit that is set. For example the first time you may only want to count to 5-then up it to 10 etc. I also would like to see a bigger visual and auditory ending to signify a job well done.

Cute and simple

My toddler likes this app! He gets a bit frustrated when the numbers go too high but he does pretty well with some coaching! It's a pretty app! My suggestions are for better audio (sounds like an echo from being in a bathroom or something) and maybe a little pop sound. And I wish there was a way to set how high the numbers go so I could start with 5 and go up as his attention span does. Otherwise, well done!

Simple and useful for older kids too

I am changing the settings to start at 2,3,4,5,etc and then count by the same digit. This is a primer for learning multiplication for 2nd graders. Love it! Thanks Ellie!

Counting dots

Wow , great app for learning to count.

Great for little ones

Simple, bright and engaging for little ones.

Good, but could be better

It would be great if the audio went all the way to 100 to support my kindergarten students who are trying to learn to count to 100 by 1's and 10's as a part of the common core standards.

Ok

I can't get volume for this app which I think would really help number recognition

Spanish, please

This is such a great app. I use it at school. I teach in a bilingual building. I turn the sound off when working with the students who speak Spanish. It would be fabulous if you would add the Spanish language.

cute app but volume too loud

somehow this app is bypassing the volume contril of our ipad and only plays at Maximum Volume! it is way too loud. please fix

Love it

Keep updates accessible on the original iPad please. This is a great one for learning numbers.

Wish it...

This is cool but I wish it had the following options in the settings:
1) say the numbers as they touch them like in the alphabet game
2) have an option to mix a lot of numbers on the screen and the child has to pop them in order rather than start over each time

Counting Dots

Because a child needs to touch each dot when counting by ones, the app teaches one to one correspondence. It can be set for counting by tens and fives. This is useful, but there are not clusters of five or ten bubbles, which would illustrate what counting. by fives or tens means. While it would be nice if the numbers were pronounced aloud when the bubbles were popped, overall it is easy to use and an effective app.

Fun for my toddler but

My toddler enjoys popping the numbers and the colours are quite eye catching to hold his attention. I did expect that as you popped the dots, it would call the numbers. That only makes sense seeing that you're teaching toddlers to count. It would be good positive reinforcement for the ones they know and teaching them new numbers the higher they go.
