I have two issues with this app: 1- even if you pause the test in the middle of it, when you come back you start from the beginning or from the easier levels. 2- the answer to some questions is either not very rational or are more than one answer that seem to be correct . ### 4/5 — Great app *2012-11-17* Great app for my students who don't have many other opportunities to work with analogies and problem solving. It's an easy way to expose students to abstract problem solving that we don't formally teach in school. ### 4/5 — Great for school age kids! *2012-11-04* I love the app for children 5 and older. It increases their powers of observation and logical thinking. Even the easiest task demands focused attention and higher level abstract thinking, therefore I do not feel this is appropriate for preschoolers. Great app to keep ME sharp! ### 4/5 — Little solver- figurative anologies *2012-11-02, version 1.2* In general a very good app but would like brief pause to allow child to to consider error and/ or receive help before going on. Dr mom ### 4/5 — Nice app! *2012-11-02, version 1.2* Would have given it 5 stars, but it seems to have a few issues. Some are pretty challenging. ### 3/5 — Great idea *2012-10-31, version 1.2* Stillness needs some help. Se are too hard to know what needs to cell next. ### 5/5 — Very good app! *2012-10-30* My four yr old likes playing with this app it really gets him thinking and its fun. I like how you can adjust the settings for your child. ### 5/5 — Great! *2012-10-29, version 1.2* Great app. ### 5/5 — Love it *2012-10-29, version 1.2* I love that it is visual and you can adjust for what levels you want. ### 4/5 — Tricky! *2012-10-29, version 1.2* This. Is not just for little ones. I found that it was challenging for all elementary kids and even some middle schoolers. Fun to talk through with kids as they are trying to figure out their responses. ### 3/5 — Challenging *2012-10-29, version 1.2* It was difficult to know what was supposed to be the right answer for some of the mirror image ones, because I didn't realize that was the analogy it was looking for. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Highly inaccurate *2020-05-26* This game is not designed accurately. Waste of money! I requested a refund, hopefully they will process it. ### 1/5 — Will make your child Confused *2018-02-16, version 2.0* The actual answers to the questions don’t make sense after you go past the first 10 questions. Clearly built without consulting any experts. ### 1/5 — Really disheartening *2017-12-16* For a game designed for small children, and claiming to be a learning app, I was really surprised to see that the overall objective of the game was simply to not fail. Unfortunately, when a child makes too many errors, the game brings up a black screen showing them what their failing percentage grade is and makes them start over again at the lowest level. After purchasing this app for my five-year-old to make studying for the NNAT just a little bit more fun, it was especially sad to see her try so hard to get through the higher levels, and then become so frustrated that she ultimately gave up after it showed her how many times she failed. The app may only cost 99 cents, but for the amount of time that it’s going to take me to get her to even want to practice again in some other form, I really want a refund. ### 1/5 — Do you guys really have logic? *2017-11-06, version 2.0* I’ve never left a review, but this app is awful! The guy who wrote it has no logic at all! ### 1/5 — Warns you it will slow down your iPhone. *2017-01-16, version 1.2* Some answers are too easy, some illogical. Very fast paced with no time to explain correct or incorrect answers to kids. It did make my phone hiccup. Touch screen became unresponsive. Looks like 99cents only gets you so much. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2014-10-15* An example: In some cases, if you rotate the shape correctly you get the right answer, in other cases you don't, because the correct answer is not to rotate but instead to mirror and contrast, but both choices are available. So you just have to guess which one is right or perhaps play the game enough to have some idea which section you are likely doing. ### 1/5 — Ok *2012-11-09, version 1.2* Good idea but many analogies don't make sense. ### 2/5 — Quickly lost interest *2013-01-13, version 1.2* Some analogies do not make sense, as another user noted ### 2/5 — Too difficult for young children *2012-10-29* This app is too difficult for young kids. It would be better for older students. Also, it needs to give more feedback if you get the answer wrong so you learn the patterns. It would also be better if it gave some hints or clues on how to solve the analogy as way of scaffolding. Needs some work and then it could be a better app. ### 2/5 — Boring *2012-08-09, version 1.1* I can see the learning potential, but it didn't hold my daughter's interest long enough to be useful. She's 3, so maybe in another year? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2013-11-09, version 1.2* This is a great game for adults too! ### 5/5 — DBR *2013-01-13, version 1.2* An excellent little mind-expander. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2012-11-17, version 1.2* Love it! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2012-11-16, version 1.2* This is a great refresher on matching and patterns for my 12 year old who has Down syndrome. ### 5/5 — Love *2012-11-01, version 1.2* Great app. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2012-10-31, version 1.2* Great app for kids ### 5/5 — Excellent *2012-10-31, version 1.2* Great for all who enjoy visual tasks! ### 5/5 — Download it! *2012-10-31, version 1.2* I downloaded this for my four-year-old but ended up playing it myself. Some of these puzzles are pretty challenging! ### 5/5 — Great App *2012-10-31, version 1.2* This is a great app for challenging student's thinking skills. ### 5/5 — Great *2012-10-30, version 1.2* Lots of fun and educational --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
