### 5/5 — Love the variable speaking speed

*2020-10-19, version 3.0.0*

Just wish the ordinal numbers were available for Russian already!

### 5/5 — Versatile

*2020-09-13, version 3.0.0*

Quick rote memorization. Versatile features and ability to work on different strategies

### 5/5 — Brilliant app!

*2020-08-15, version 3.0.0*

It’s so important to get practice listening to numbers in a language you’re studying but resources are few. I love this app, it is so useful.

### 5/5 — Отлично!

*2020-08-14, version 3.0.0*

Excellent , does what it says it should do .  Please, please add more games for Russian ( time, tel numbers etc ) …

### 5/5 — Awesome for learning numbers!

*2020-04-14, version 3.0.0*

I am using the app for Japanese, very effective method to learn numbers

### 5/5 — Helpful for Language Learners

*2020-04-05, version 3.0.0*

I really like the timed numbers. I hope more languages get the additional features. They will be so helpful to me in my language learning.

### 5/5 — Helps to Master the Numbers!

*2019-12-11, version 3.0.0*

I am having a hard time with learning french numbers. But luckily I have improved greatly with just 15 minutes a day for 1-2 weeks!

### 4/5 — Great app

*2019-12-08, version 2.0.0*

Useful for language learners!

### 5/5 — When you need numbers

*2019-11-19, version 2.0.0*

This is great. You want to hear and immediately recognize numbers in a foreign language and this is it! Check the block of understanding every number you hear.

### 5/5 — Exceptional!

*2019-11-14, version 2.0.0*

This is a prime application for practicing number learning!

### 1/5 — Fabulous idea - but no Albanian?

*2021-03-19, version 3.0.0*

Please please add Albanian to this app. My language group studying other languages find it amazing. But it would be so helpful if you could Albanian too! Many thanks

### 1/5 — Disappointed with no explanations how to use

*2020-03-04, version 3.0.0*

Starts with some game that’s not explained and I have no idea what the words are it’s saying in Russian. I need to know the basics at least before just throwing some game on that has no explanations.  It’s not what was shown in examples displayed.

### 2/5 — App Is Incomplete. Not as advertised.

*2020-11-29, version 3.0.0*

Great app, but only 2 ‘modules’ (time and fill-in-the-blank) seem to be present for any language I switch the settings to. Learning Russian and the two modules are helpful, but the app advertises features it doesn’t yet have. Would give 5 stars if it had all the modules or made that disclaimer in the description.

### 2/5 — Seems very buggy

*2019-12-16, version 3.0.0*

I bought the paid version. Frequently doesn’t remember this fact and I have to “reset.”  Then the sound effects (“ding”) stop for no apparent reason. Now it is no longer keeping track of my points. I deleted the app and reinstalled to correct some of the issues but then it lost all of my information. I’m going to investigate other apps. Hopefully they will be better.

### 3/5 — Good base - needs work

*2020-06-16, version 3.0.0*

Paid $4.99 instead of the advertise $9.99 for the lifetime Pro version. They must’ve correctly lowered it because this isn’t worth $10 as it is. Games are fun and useful. $4.99 is barely with it.

What I want to see:
1. Leaderboard with other players to gamify the experience.
2. My scoring doesn’t work so I don’t see my tally on the main page. Update - sometimes it shows, sometimes it doesn’t. Inconsistent. 
3. Metrics over a longer period of time than just a week. 
4. A more natural and less computerized voice.
5. Personal bests for each game.
6. A sped up version that does not distort the voice much and does not (according to other reviewers) erase your scores by choosing that speed). 

There is on other app in the App Store that has no rating made by a doctor with in-app purchases. Maybe that is better. I didn’t buy it because some guy on Reddit who went from 0 to C1 fluency in French in a year said he used this app from B2 to C1 fluency. 

All in all, I recommend it.

Update - I restarted my phone and now the app shows my score. Not sure why I needed to do that. Maybe it has something to do with buying 
the pro version.

I do enjoy the time spent and streak tabs on the home page. What brings it home for me is that it shows total hours/minutes (I wonder if it’ll do days) spent on the app AND is drills down to minutes spent per day. It seems you can go back to any day every spent. I love metrics so that is useful to know.

### 3/5 — It does its job but has some problems

*2019-12-15, version 3.0.0*

THE GOOD: If you’re looking for an app to practice auditory recognition of foreign numbers, this is a good choice. It’s easy to use and has a decent amount of languages to pick from. You can adjust the number range, time length of games, and speed. 

THE BAD: the voice is not very authentic. It’s a computer voice reading numbers so pronunciation isn’t all that great. If you increase the speed it just sounds like its on fast forward and it’s not very authentic. Because of this, the speed settings are pretty much useless. Next, just recently the game deleted all of my tracking info.

### 4/5 — Czech Please

*2023-10-13, version 3.0.0*

When will the other games be available in Czech?

### 4/5 — Simple and fun

*2022-06-26, version 3.0.0*

Amazing and simple for learning new numbers, just wish they had more game options for other languages(im doing Indonesian)

### 4/5 — Great number drill

*2021-10-19, version 3.0.0*

This app was just what I was looking for to help me better hear french numbers.  I like the random number generator and the two minute timed intervals.  I wish it also had years and money.

### 4/5 — Simple but effective

*2020-09-03, version 3.0.0*

Super-simple way of improving your ability to hear numbers correctly in a foreign language.  Hope full range of games can be made available in Arabic.

### 5/5 — Great Help

*2022-12-13, version 3.0.0*

After struggling with numbers, I can now accurately hear spoken numbers and time. Fabulous.

### 5/5 — Great app very useful

*2022-01-27, version 3.0.0*

I am studying Chinese and I find this app very useful. One suggestion I have though is that in Chinese when giving someone your phone number people usually say yao 幺(yao) instead of 一 (yi) because 一 (yi) can be mistaken for 七(qi),but other than that the app has been perfect for me. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Amazing learning app

*2021-10-19, version 3.0.0*

I’ve been looking for ways to practice my japanese numbers listening skills and finally found this which has been so helpful. It’s a simple app but super effective in strengthening your speed. If I could suggest one improvement it would be having statistics of all the games you’ve done to see how you’ve improved

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2021-05-06, version 3.0.0*

Was really struggling with understanding Spanish numbers. This app is the perfect drilling tool!

### 5/5 — Great app to review numbers in a lot of languages

*2021-03-13, version 3.0.0*

There’s multiple languages, multiple game modes, you can adjust the speaking speed, and it’s free! You can pay for more game modes but that’s completely optional. Great app. The only gripe I have is that idk why the daily streak counter is weird, I’m not sure why it counts sometimes but other times it doesn’t.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2021-01-14, version 3.0.0*

This would be perfect if it had ordinal numbers! I would totally pay for that.

### 5/5 — Helpful way to practice an important skill!

*2020-12-30, version 3.0.0*

I’ve learned 4 foreign languages as an adult, but despite speaking 3 of them to a really good level (with the forth in progress) I’ve always found numbers to be one of l toughest nuts to crack.  You normally don’t get enough practice with numbers to be able to decipher them at the lightening speed requirements . Doing, let’s say, a walking tour in German, I would understand everything but the dates.

This app is the solution!  After about 30 minutes worth of playing with it, my ability to accurately understand those “backward” German numbers skyrocketed and they were no longer a problem!

The app has also been great for my newest language, Hungarian, with numbers that sound nothing like their counterparts in any other language I speak.... 

Great initiative!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-11-10, version 3.0.0*

This app is great. Currently using it for Japanese learning and it’s really helpful for listening practice.

### 5/5 — Learning numbers

*2020-11-05, version 3.0.0*

Definitely helping me learn Swedish numbers. Would be great if the other games to practice the time and phone numbers were active too!

### 5/5 — Help me

*2020-11-04, version 3.0.0*

Was going on
