## What is Learning Patterns?

"This app is the gold standard if you want to help your little one 
learn how to have fun while learning patterns." Sonja - mom and teacher

Learning Patterns helps your child develop critical thinking and 
mental reasoning skills thus expanding a very important part of 
their mind.  Plus, even adults will have fun playing with this app 
at the more advanced levels. :-)

Approved by parents, teachers, and kids the world over.

Learning Patterns is an exciting interactive game that helps 
you learn how to recognize and complete patterns all with 
just the touch of your finger. Pattern recognition and 
completion represents an important developmental skill 
for kids of all ages.

The interface is so easy to use that even a toddler will 
delight in moving their first objects around the page.  

The app supports two modes to learning patterns.

In the first mode, you decide the type of objects you want 
to use to learn to recognize patterns such as numbers, letters,
images, etc.  Once you start, the app will start with the most 
basic patterns such as ABABAB and it automatically increases 
the difficulty based on the users skills.  The difficulty increases
in two ways.  First, the patterns get increasingly difficulty.  
Second, the missing tile moves from the last place to the 
second place and later the last two tiles are missing.

The second  mode allows you to zero in on specific patterns 
and lets students master that pattern with a huge variety of 
different images.

The patterns included in this app are:

ABABAB
AABBAA
ABBABB
AABAAB
AAABBB
ABCABC
ABCDAB
ABCCBA

IF there are other types of patterns you would like us to add
please let us know and we can easily get them added.

In total, the app focuses on 8 unique patterns and includes 
3 levels of difficulty for each pattern like this:
ABABA?
A?ABAB
ABAB??

The app also comes with over 25 unique collections of items 
to learn patterns.  This way you can learn patterns by letters, 
numbers, colors, shapes, dots, balloons, hats, fruits, vegetables, 
animals, vehicles, etc.

The huge variety of patterns and collections means that there are
almost an infinite way of learning patterns which ensures to keep 
kids excited and engaged vs. getting bored by always staring at
the same content.

Not only that, at the end of every session you automatically get a
beautiful summary to see exactly how your little one did.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-07-11*

The app was working and suddenly stopped. Totally waste of money

### 1/5 — Doesn’t worth the money

*2019-04-02*

Too easy, and too less

### 5/5 — Little lovey

*2018-04-19*

I loved being a baker and my sister wanted to be a pastery Chef in the morning and in the afternoon.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2018-03-10*

Simple to use and great for learning! Wish there were more patterns though on the paid version

### 2/5 — Great app, but...

*2017-10-26*

I purchased it because I work with students with visual impairments and it’s great for their visual skills.  Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that the purchase wouldn’t transfer to a new device (work issued iPads change every couple of years).  Very disappointed to have lost my money, and I won’t be spending it again.

I’d happily pay a few more dollars up front to permanently own this app.  I’m over this micro-transaction, subscription-based, you-don’t-own-what-you-pay-for economy.  

If I could have purchased this app outright, I would have given you five stars for its simplicity and effectiveness.

### 5/5 — I like it, it's great, I like it . . .

*2016-09-10*

This application is great visually with it's size color and spacing. I also like that there is practice to generalize from animals, shapes, to letters and numbers. Also, with the successive difficulty levels, as a traveling teacher, it's easy to use this as an IEP goal that builds as the year progresses. Thanks for the user-friendly program.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2016-09-04*

Educational & enjoyable to play, thanks

### 4/5 — Great learning app

*2016-06-23*

My son (3.5) enjoys this app, and I do, too. I searched awhile for an app that would teach pattern recognition skills--not as easy as it sounds. This is one of the better ones.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2016-04-23, version 1.1*

Is too easy I mean really!!need to have better and exreamly hard
