Foundational — all kids need to master this
This is pedagogically excellent. My son enjoyed using it and finished all the puzzles in a couple days. It showed me he had numbers sense already, and while I realize he could have learned more from this a year or so earlier (he is six), it was valuable because it improved his speed in solving. That’s valuable.

Used to be good
We used this over a year ago and I wanted my child to go back and work with it as a review but all the data was lost and even trying to setup a new dashboard it no longer works.
Love it, BUT!
I love the app, the number sense imbued in the levels is fantastic. I love how mastering one level unlocks the next, very motivating. One big problem - the trophies. As soon as my child realized the meaning of the different colors he was no longer interested in learning the numbers but instead was working only for the gold trophy. And the first time he didn’t get one he was in tears and no longer interested in the app at all. This is a textbook example of being “punished by rewards”. Please include the option of turning off the trophies and stars. Progress bar and accuracy/speed markers are fine as objective feedback, but the “ranking” and reward associated with the trophies are detrimental to the learning and ultimately made this wonderful app unusable for us. Developers, please read Alvie Kohn’s “Punished by rewards”and continue with your fabulous work! Thank you!

Fantastic App for Early Number Sense
This is one of the best apps available for early number sense. The adaptive, mastery based design provides my students with individualized instruction. The dashboard allows me to see when and where they are struggling. I've now used this with over 250 students. I love that the app includes mutliple non-symbolic representations, as well as symbolic, and students develop fluency in using each of these interchangeably. The best quote from one of my students was "It's just like learning, only fun."
