### 5/5 — My 2 year old loves it

*2023-08-14*

He has begun to show signs of autism and adhd. Has had trouble learning colors and stuff like that. This is a game changer for us. Thank you

### 5/5 — Stays true to Montessori

*2020-05-07*

This apps stays true the Montessori 3 period lesson which is essential for learning things properly. Plus the apps is beautiful. Honestly this is a better solution than actual physical color tablets. Just so grateful for this app. Imagine your 2 year child being able to learn all the colors and even grade them from dark to light within a month at most.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2018-02-11*

New version works great and my daughter loves it.

**Developer response:** Hey there! We're sorry for the trouble you've experienced with the app. We've made several updates since you wrote in, would you be interested in trying the app one more time? We'll be updating for iOS 11 soon as well, which will hopefully solve the issue you're experiencing! Our apologies again for the trouble, we'd love to get it sorted for you.

### 2/5 — Bad design

*2016-12-16*

This app is pretty bad. Don't waste your money. It's super simple so how the programmers made such obvious mistakes is beyond me. For example, one of the main features is matching two like colors. However the blank spots the child is supposed to move the poorly designed thimble graphic to are too close together. This confuses a child about which side to match it to. Also it's buggy. If you tap one of the ridiculously poorly designed thimble graphics and drag it the wrong way it vanishes from the screen. I'm guessing this app was part of a high school app building class or something because no professional programmer would have come up with such a bad design.

### 4/5 — Intro To Colors

*2016-12-02*

This is a well designed application that does a fine job of introducing children to the world of colors. The app focuses on not just standard primary colors but secondary ones as well as gradient mixtures. The app uses voice narration to guide the users and a tap and move function in order to achieve color identification. The menu design is simple enough to where kids can pretty much use the app themselves without adult interference. This is important in that children can learn not just colors but how to navigate applications themselves.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2016-02-11*

App crashes before I can even try it out :(

### 1/5 — Only Covers The Americas

*2015-01-13*

This is a great app but sadly only covers the Americas.  Since our home country is China this is not as useful as I'd like it to be.  I'm hoping the rest of the continents will soon be covered.

### 1/5 — wished i checked to see if a youtube video was available first

*2014-09-13*

game is so slow and boring. i can’t even get my kid to look at it.

### 4/5 — One dimensional

*2014-09-02*

Nice but very simple.  My 4 yr old likes it but it doesn't hold his attention for more than a couple minutes

### 2/5 — Not much value ...

*2014-02-21, version 1.2.1*

... this app is clearly not in the same league as the other excellent Montessori apps. The colour blender wheel is the only proper interactive part, however buggy to operate, and done in 5 minutes with a 4 year old.
