Great practice for students. ### 4/5 — Good brain food *2009-08-01, version 0* I'm years out of school, but enjoy the challenge of moving among fractions, percents and decimals. I'd like to see a few enhancements, though. Some way of measuring performance from one session to another would be really great. Also good would be a way of entering at a higher level than 1. That said, this is a really satisfying challenge that wakes up my brain. Additional item for the wish list: let the line remain when it's completed so relative values can be looked at again. This would be especially useful for comparing values of fractions. ### 4/5 — Gorgeous design... *2009-07-25, version 0* Great practice and fun to play. Gorgeous design. Simple and elegant. Stunning! ### 4/5 — A good app *2009-07-19, version 0* A good and good-looking application. Fun to play with and I feel like I'm learning something. I just wish it would remember the level I completed. It's kind of a drag to always start from level 1. ### 5/5 — Great Learning Tool *2009-06-27, version 0* This has been a a blessing. My son has been able to learn fractions and understanding decimal points with clarity now. Love this app, this developer should write more!!! It is very easy to use and understand. Definitely look for more from this developer. L ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Difficult to use *2015-03-08* I, the adult, found it impossible to move the numbers onto the number line. Didn't even show it to my child. Deleted! ### 1/5 — Can't get it to work... *2014-11-19, version 0.1* I was really excited about this app until I started playing the game. I could not easily move the circles and one just would not move at all. I'm using a brand new Itouch as well. If anyone has a suggestion on how to move the circles better please let me know. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2010-12-08, version 0* Only 4 nerds. :P ### 2/5 — Has petential... *2011-02-18, version 0.1* Placed the numbers in sequence but couldnt find the done button to see if i was right ### 3/5 — I liked it *2015-06-26, version 0.1* I realy loved this app, but I can't move anymore those numbers. The whole screen slides left and right. ### 3/5 — Teacher *2009-10-02, version 0* I like the app. I wish I could use it with my students but I can't since there's no option to do decimals only or fractions only. It'd be great if there's a toggle to turn on/off decimals, fractions and percents. Also, it needs to give the option of 1, 2 or 3 digits after the decimal point (or a combination of all 3). I'm sure they will make this improvements. There's lots of potential in this app in the educational field. ### 3/5 — A good game that's missing the basics... *2009-08-06, version 0* The game itself is good and educational however it's missing some key features that drags it way down. It needs a high score list, a level selecter, and remember the highest level achieved. An option to adust the amount and complexity of decimals, fractions, and percentage would also be very nice. As it is, it's annoying that when you exit the current game, it's immediately back to square 1; there's no option whatsoever to continue where you left off. I guess that's why it's only version 0.1; it's a very unfinished game. ### 3/5 — Useful and flawed *2009-07-22, version 0* Very useful to help teaching fractions, and very annoying that it doesn't remember the last level played. Each time you have to start at level 1 again. ### 4/5 — Does it ever end? *2011-07-15* Level 26 and counting...! ### 4/5 — Teacher *2011-03-13, version 0.1* This is great and will be using it in my classroom. The levels don't save so I only gave it a 4. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wildly addicting *2013-02-05, version 0.1* As a teacher of 5th graders, this app is fabulous. The kids love it. It really helps build number sense and relative size. I've seen a big improvement in my students' ability to order fractions, decimals and percents. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-01-06, version 0.1* If you say this game is only for nerds then be quiet because this game is addicting and fun!!!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2012-08-28, version 0.1* Best since the beginning of apps!!!! ### 5/5 — Fabulous! *2009-08-31, version 0* It's helping me think faster. Like most Americans, I am functionally innumerate. Don't misunderstand; I took college algebra (worked hard for a B), trig (took it twice but finally got an A), and graduate level business calculus (worked my butt off for a low C). Why? Because I never learned to think in numbers. This application, and a few others, like Zombie Math, are helping to change that. Two suggestions for the generous developer -- 1) Let users log in (multiple users per device) and remember their last level completed. 2) Have the first 3-4 levels be easy enough for a very young child. My 1st grader loves to play this game but it's still way too hard for her to do alone. I'd like to see easier kid levels with fewer balls (and maybe even have level A have pies filled in or something). Or you could make a kid version as a second application. I'd be happy to pay $5 for something to teach elementary fractions/decimals/percents as would many parents. Ooooh, and you could do a very similar game with American coins. :-) Thanks for the awesome free game. ### 5/5 — great for math teachers *2009-07-23, version 0* Definitely recommend this to any math teachers to have their studens practice! I'm thinking about having a competition with the other teachers in my department. ### 5/5 — Incredibly well done *2009-07-22, version 0* This is very well done - great graphics, very focused educationally, easy to use, and free. Thanks, please make more! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2009-07-22, version 0* This application makes working with numbers fun and is very well executed. ### 5/5 — App review *2009-07-16, version 0* It's good for people w/ issues! ### 5/5 — !!! *2009-07-15, version 0* Fun ... AND excellent practice! ### 5/5 — Excellent App! *2009-07-14, version 0* This app is very useful for classroom or homework use. We will definitely be using it in our JH and HS classrooms. Keep up the good work and I hope to see more great stuff from your VTech group soon. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
