## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Still putting out apps that don't work

*2015-04-20*

After bug in previous app was fixed, tried new apps. This one doesn't work. Why so many apps when many still have bugs?

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2014-08-29*

Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Don't buy this app

*2014-01-27*

This app is not user friendly.  There is no help section.

### 1/5 — Crap with potential

*2012-09-13*

Great setup with the number place but bad way of execution.  Would have been great if it actually asked you what number was in the ones, tens,  hundredths, and thousands.  The tutorial video did not work and took me into gameplay.  Nothing leads back to the main menu to retry the tutorial.  Had to figure this out by trial and error.  Total crap don't buy until improvements are made.  I can't believe the App store approved this!

### 2/5 — Not that great

*2014-11-02*

I thought it incorporated soccer such as letting the kids score after a certain amount of questions but you just continue to answer how many ones tens and hundreds.  I'm not super impressed because they have plenty of free apps that do similar to this

### 2/5 — Elementary

*2011-11-11*

I had a hard time placing the correct number of fingers on the pad. I feel students will real struggle

### 4/5 — Excellent idea

*2018-03-22*

The use of counting finger touches to teach place value is clever!  The app is simple and could be done better, but is still a unique and effective app to help students understand place value.

### 5/5 — Awesome for year 1 maths

*2014-08-10*

My daughter was having difficulty understanding the concept of placement values (year 1 Maths). After playing this game for 30 min, she now gets it! One recommendation would be to add the instructions via a help tool within the game itself. The instructions provided via the App Store explain the objective perfectly. Making them accessible within the game would be ideal for 1st time users.

### 5/5 — Perfect for 2nd

*2013-10-21*

This app is great for second graders who still struggle with this concept. After one week of practicing now they never forget.

### 5/5 — lovely app - really accessible

*2012-04-22, version 1.0*

Really nice way of giving the answer by putting the right number of fingers of the screen, very clever and accesible, and not seen that on an app before. Very simple app to use, could maybe do with a few more features but well worth the money.

## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great for SPED

*2011-10-28*

I LOVE this app for my small group classroom! (Elementary aged students with Autism). It's easy to train, works dexterity as well as mathematical knowledge and helps promote math fluency. Simple, clean and fun!

### 5/5 — Cool

*2011-09-15, version 1.0*

Seems to be the only app on here teaching place value and doing a good job of it, really intuitive interface
