### 1/5 — No Money

*2025-12-16*

N0 money.  Keep trying to get brain camping with all 17 and just get this manipulatives.  Open brain camping click buy all and manipuatives is what I get. There is no money in the selection.

### 4/5 — Good Ideas - Needs UNDO Button

*2025-06-04*

Where is the undo button. That would be really helpful.

### 4/5 — Words of wisdom

*2025-05-16*

I really like the app, one function I would like is the ability to adjust is the size of the base ten blocks. The base ten blocks are too large when needing to compare or expand larger numbers. The app is so useful but size of manipulative should be something that can be adjusted by user.

### 4/5 — Good but not great

*2025-02-23*

I think this is a really good app yet it would be great if one could enlarge and/or decrease the size of the screen almost like a whiteboard where you can continue to write, and it will just adjust the screen– – almost like explain everything or Goodnotes. If it had those features, I think this would be a fantastic app.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2025-01-31, version 2.1.1*

These Manipulatives are great! Please add money Manipulatives!

### 3/5 — Needs money

### 2/5 — Missing manipulative

*2024-05-17*
