You can’t “move a state” if the state won’t move. ### 1/5 — Not working *2018-04-18* The states will not move when touched to drag in place. Please fix. ### 1/5 — App closes immediately after opening *2016-07-25* Fix it please? ### 1/5 — Broken *2015-09-10* Currently broken on iPad. Tapping on states does nothing, so our son is stuck on the first states page. Please fix. ### 2/5 — Incorrect State Information *2022-02-19* The app mixes up Tennessee and Ohio. Plus it is very slow! ### 2/5 — Didn't work on iPhone 6 *2018-04-23* Tried using this and it did not work correctly. ### 2/5 — OK App *2015-08-23* I like the app. It needs a lot of improvement though. I wish it introduced the state capitals, they are more important to learn then the state animals for primary learners. Tracing the states needs to be more controlled for accuracy if the point is to learn its shape my memory, otherwise pointless. Also, would be good to mention the state regions so kids understand the geography, no mention in app. My son likes matching the states to its name but not interested in the tracing or matching of animals to its state. Overall a little over priced for what you get in return. Not a great investment. ### 2/5 — Not usable to use on my 5S *2015-07-03* I’m excited about the potential this app has, but the initial version has some issues that make it impossible to use on my iPhone 5S. For some reason, it isn’t possible to drag the intended states; when trying to select a state on the screen, the app thinks I’m selecting a region further to the left. When dropping, it also fails to properly determine where on the map I actually dropped it. When these issues are resolved, I have no doubt the app will be worth the money I paid for it. ### 4/5 — My 5-Year-Old Loves This... *2017-07-04* ...along with the world countries version! He knows all the countries and I'm sure he will soon know all the states too. We play a "name-the-country" game in the store while shopping when he's bored (from memory, without the phone). I do question the choice of animals for some of the states, though. A cat for Maryland!? Really? Why not a blue crab?? At least they didn't pick a wolverine for Michigan. In general, too many white-tailed deer. There's got to be more variety of animals available out there! Great learning tool and fun, too! ### 4/5 — Definitely taught me the states, but a few improvements needed. *2015-08-06* This app was a great way to learn the fifty American states, but a few things could be changed to make the experience better. If anyone has the few dollars to spare and an interest in memorizing the states, this is a good app to consider downloading. I know it's a newly released app and has some things to work out, which is why I'm leaving this review. First of all, I don't know why the age range is so specific and so low. This app can really be used by anyone with the passion to learn the states. Some of the content I feel like was added just to add more content (the native animals to each state, which really wasn't necessary). The different levels were a nice way to cover over all 50 states at the right pace, which is something I really enjoyed and knew was a nice touch. Maybe some award (for the kids)-- or really just a blank map quiz over all states would be good to have after all content has been completed. I like this app and will be keeping it. It did teach me the fifty states very easily, but more improvements and additional content can and should be added. I recommend the app! ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Learn the USA states *2023-08-05* I’m an old lady in Australia and I am learning the us states. This method is very good as it has good repetition and I can go back any time to learn better. ### 5/5 — Trn out of ten ive already learned hslf the 50 states in 15 minutes i LOVE it *2020-10-02* Ten out of ten amazing ### 5/5 — A Grandma's Perspective *2015-07-04* I always install the Montessorium apps into my phone so I can enjoy them with my grandchildren. I love this latest one because I love geography and unfortunately it is no longer stressed in education, as near as I can tell. It says ages 6-8 but this 65 year old is learning a lot she did not know…..I also really like the repetition, presented differently for each set of states. Excellent app for kids and adults too, as far as I can see. Plus so nice to see something that is not all constant action and "busy-ness", like so many of the apps available for kids. ### 5/5 — Awesome!! *2015-07-03* Very well done. Fun, and challenging for the young and old! Please give it a look! Nothing better than family time... ### 5/5 — My 6 Year Old Loves It! *2015-07-02* My daughter is a little map lover and she LOVED this app. She spent over 45 minutes on her first use, because she wanted to "finish all 50." She was particularly excited to see the illustrated animals at the end of each group of states. I'm confident that this educational app would be worthwhile for short uses around the house or long road trips across the country. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
