### 5/5 — Great app! Thank you very much!!

*2015-07-22, version 2.4*

This app has really made teaching my class fun. My students love it, and it has made them want to learn. I look forward to further updates!

### 1/5 — I really don't like to sound.

*2014-11-30, version 2.4*

This is a good app to a point. At the beginning, I like it a lot. Then, I really bother me of the duck duck duck sound when it gets to count down the seconds. What is pain? Hear the duck duck duck is awful 😱. So, I deleted this app for a year. Download again to give it a try. No change, I wish there is an add on button to remove this awful duck duck duck sound. Please help to improve it. This could be a wonderful app.

### 5/5 — Super App...

*2014-10-21, version 2.3*

Just purchased this app and my students love it. Already has loaded lots of questions that are related to our grade level.   Even better....I can even make my own questions related to what I am teaching.  Worth every penny...

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2014-03-24, version 2.2*

I am not a teacher, but I love this app. I was tired of games that aren't educational and losing pieces to my child's board games. This app is perfect for me. It has some pre-programmed games that you can customize by grade, subject and difficulty. I have begun to create my own games based on worksheets he has brought home from school or books we have read the game is still fun for me to play because it's who ever taps in first. The possibilities are endless with this one.

### 2/5 — Great customer service!

*2013-11-17, version 2.0*

The students in my kindergarten class used to love this game and then they updated it and it stopped working. I sent an email to the company and they got back to me within a day with an apology and promise that they were working on it. A few days later they emailed again asking me to download the newest version and it now works wonderfully again!
  This is a great multiplayer game for Kindergarten thru at least 4th grade. It has lots of options to customize what kids are practicing. I'm so thrilled that my students will again be able to practice sight words, counting and phonics on it!

### 5/5 — Crashing

*2013-11-01, version 1.9*

I have used Futaba with success until today and LOVE it.  All of a sudden it is crashing every time I open the app.  I'm hoping a fix is in the works.
