### 1/5 — iPhone 7plus

*2020-10-10, version 3.1.0*

It doesn’t work on my iPhone 7 Plus iOS 13.3.1

### 5/5 — Useful and lots of fun too!

*2019-04-15, version 3.0.1*

The money tool is versatile and flexible. It allows students many opportunities to work with money, to enhance their multiplicative thinking, to compose and decompose numbers in complex and varied ways and to record and communicate their thinking. -- and the kids love it!

### 5/5 — Digital CANADIAN $$

*2018-03-27, version 2.1.3*

What a great app! Not only can I have my students represent, order and compare money amounts, but they can also operate with money, for example finding the change from a purchase. They can play with ideas like the least amount of change or multiples representations of the same amount! The currency count allows for an easy check. With the annotation tool they can share their thinking! A quick screenshot and I can review the work later or choose some to share whole class! All with Canadian currency - including the penny!!
