### 3/5 — Needs updated

*2014-09-13, version 1.0*

It's a fun game but it doesn't start over. I played once and I can't play again.

### 4/5 — Rock Game

*2013-06-09, version 1.0*

This game is awesome!!! I learned a lot from this game even though i'm only 10. 😀🌚

### 1/5 — ...keep your buck.

*2011-04-17*

The photos are not high resolution and somewhat fuzzy on an iphone 4, and there's only 50 photos all in all. It doesnt give you any of the properties of the rocks/minerals it shows you, merely gives you a somewhat grainy at-times photo and 4 guesses. Once you cycle through all 50 photos, you start from the beginning with the exact same photos. There is no option to start again in the middle of the quiz, so you have to cycle through them all to reset. 
All in all, very disappointing.
