### 5/5 — Way better than worksheets

*2020-04-16, version 11.8*

Ive used these apps for both of my kids, and I love them for being so much more effective than drill and kill worksheets. I homeschool, and my boys are 6 years apart. Used them first time around with oldest, came back for my youngest. I love how simple and customizable it is. The apps seem to be written by someone who knew exactly what needed to be done, bravo!

### 5/5 — Superb

*2013-02-01, version 4.08*

1st graders love it!

### 5/5 — Awesome for Dual language

*2012-11-30, version 4.08*

I am a dual language teacher and love this app. You can change the language and you can also see how students are performing. I am using it as an intervention tool for students below grade level and so far it is great.

### 5/5 — endelig!!!

*2012-11-22, version 4.08*

takk

### 4/5 — Very effective.

*2012-02-29, version 3.8*

My son loves this app, which means so do I! This app can go from the very elementary to the more complicated, rewarding the student all the way. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Super Time App

*2012-01-21, version 3.7*

This app  is so great for telling time!  Not only does it allow you to choose different color hands to distinquish minutes and hours but it also lets you choose to show no minutes, 15 minute increments, 5 minute increments or 1 minute increments.  My stepson has visual impairments and time is one of his worst math subjects because of it.  He loves this app!  My students loved that it does elapsed time too because that is a tough skill for young kids to grasp.  Thanks Andrew!  ---Staci Wolfe

### 3/5 — Learn mode needs spoken instructions

*2011-03-10, version 2.5*

Best of the time telling apps so far, but still not a lot of fun for the kids.  The learn mode is all text that requires a parent to read.

I do like the ability to move the hands and a smile/roar or a growl/frown for the answer.  The shake button had my 6 year old violently thrashing the iPad - it didn't't work, you have to push the shake button.  BAD.

This genre needs an action element, like set the clock to 7AM before the school bus gets to your house game mode to make it more interesting.

Great job on the stat reporting in the app.

**Developer response:** Shake was removed from the iPad in version 3.0, which was released September 21, 2011.
The lesson text is spoken aloud as of version 7.48, which was released November 25, 2015.

### 5/5 — Fun and Effective!

*2011-03-09, version 2.5*

My kids love these Jungle apps and so do I as a parent.  I've bought dozens of educational apps and Jungle Time, Jungle Fractions, and Jungle Coins are among my favorites.  They make learning interactive, fun, and visually intuitive.  They teach the basics and then some with graphics and games that are simple but pleasing and interactive.  In addition, the updates make these apps increasingly polished and functional.  Keep up the great work and please make more.

### 5/5 — Great App!!!

*2011-03-01, version 2.4*

This app has lots of variety to play and learn. There are many options and levels of learning!!!

### 5/5 — Helps a lot!

*2011-02-02, version 2.2*

Jungle Time is easy to learn to use and taught me a lot about reading clocks. The roman numerals helped a bunch too! The different animals make the game fun and interesting for me. I would recommend this to a friend and my principal for our school iPads. It's great!
