Love to Count (4+) by Pirate Trio is an educational application for the iPhone and iPad, designed for children aged from 4 to 7.

Aimed at introducing maths to your child as an enjoyable and rewarding activity, this app creatively demonstrates the idea of numbers being the indicators of order, time, weight and quantity, enhancing their natural urge to find order in the world of numbers and shapes.   

Love to Count by Pirate Trio helps teach and perfect such skills as:
- knowing the sequence of numbers from 1 to 10
- counting up and down
- understanding the relationship between numbers (1,2,3…) and ordinals (first, second, third…)
- adding and subtracting
- making 10
- learning halves, quarters and thirds; recognition of symmetrical division
- recognizing left from right.

Parents are provided with a tracking screen which is helpful for evaluating child’s progress. The logging system allows the app to be used by more than 1 child without loosing their scores and rewards given for correct answers. 

Love to Count by Pirate Trio aims to encourage your child to discover and understand maths, rather than learn it by heart. Solving these logical puzzles will play an important part in your child's development and help build their confidence at this early stage of schooling.

### 5/5 — Shapes & Puzzle by Pirate Trio

*2020-04-02, version 1.2*

Can you please update your app so it will work on newer version of iOS

### 1/5 — No Sound

*2017-05-25, version 1.2*

There is no sound on this app. I'm not sure if this is a glitch or not, since there is a spot to adjust the volume - but it doesn't do anything. This does not work for the targeted age range whatsoever. How is a young child who doesn't know how to read supposed to know what the instructions are? I feel totally ripped off.

### 3/5 — Great for 4-5 yrs

*2016-07-07*

My 4yrs daughter enjoys playing this game, with some help from me. It's a good combination of 'easy' questions and a little harder. Helps to teach her the sequence of numbers (outside of the usual sign song counting) and introduces adding and subtracting.

### 5/5 — Helps Children to Love to Count

*2016-05-04, version 1.2*

This is a great app for teaching 1-10 number sense. It has a pirate storyline and theme. The app features 10 games that are continually recycled in an interesting and engaging way. The games are thoughtfully designed to be ever so slightly increasing in challenge as the number of tasks completed increases from 1-700. There are also prizes to be collected along the way. This is done in a subtle way as to not overpower the game with gaming, but to keep the focus on learning. This app has just the right amount of themes and rewards to be interesting to children, while providing them with great learning opportunities. This is a must have preschool app for teaching 1-10 number concepts.

### 5/5 — My daughter's favorite app!

*2015-07-09, version 1.2*

My 4-year-old daughter says that this is her favorite app! She loves it and it is educational so I love it too.

### 5/5 — Makes math fun

*2015-03-15, version 1.0.7*

Both my kids (5 and 8) enjoy this game, even though they're at very different places math-wise, and the best part is, they just think it's a fun game that happens to involve some quantitative activities, and don't feel like they're practicing math while they play.

### 2/5 — Great, until the glitches

*2015-01-12, version 1.1*

My son really enjoys the game, but when he "gets a letter", it freezes up and the game has to be completely shut down and restarted, only to return to the same problem minutes later.  Fix please.

### 1/5 — Fine till update

*2013-09-28*

My five year old really enjoyed this app till I updated it and now it will not load 
:(

### 2/5 — Too hard for preK

*2013-03-01, version 1.0.7*

Thought this was for 4+, but it's really for Kindergarten.  First few questions asked for subtraction, to know right from left.  A bit tough when you haven't been taught those things yet!

### 5/5 — Pleases picky kinder gardener

*2013-02-17, version 1.0.7*

My youngest loves this app for practicing basic kindergarten skills!  He keeps asking to play it and loves the pirate theme and prizes.  The app doesn't talk in an overly babyish way but uses a nice strong British voice.
