I love that there are no ads. Improvements I’d like to see are allowing you to view the puzzle again before you start a new game. I’d like to puzzle over what I failed at/which states they are/admire my stack. Including an occasional anecdote/fact about why the state is nicknamed that or some memory aid would be helpful. Background photos that pertain to the clue would take this app to the next level. I bought this hoping for a country-wide puzzle and this doesn’t quite deliver on that, but I like it anyway and have a minor addiction going. Thanks Stack the States! ### 2/5 — St Th Stat *2025-09-20, version 3.1* Educat ### 5/5 — Very good game *2025-06-09, version 3.1* I am very interested in states and when I got this game I found it was very fun. You can change the settings to make it “easier” questions and stuff like that and there are special levels too. It’s a simple game but it is very good ### 5/5 — An great game and great piece *2025-06-08, version 3.1* The games game was funny and very cute faces for the USA very great for kids to learn there 50 states and a very cute game for kids and everyone too! ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2025-05-26, version 3.1* My kids love it! I always wanted my kids to know the states and cities! ( I guess my kids are smarter than me ) One thing I want added is 5 states added for questions. Overall rating, 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000/10! ### 5/5 — TIME WELL SPENT *2025-04-25, version 3.1* Most games you play and you get nothing from it. This game is not one of those!!! I played this game my whole childhood and still remember state capitals, landmarks and so many important things to know about the country I live in. Returned to this game out of nostalgia and it’s just how I remember it. Grateful to the developers for keeping this thing going, and most amazingly AD FREE!!!! Love this game. ### 5/5 — Iconic *2025-04-07, version 3.1* Literally was my childhood ### 5/5 — How do I describe this better than… *2025-04-05, version 3.1* Oh amazing so amazing so amazing so amazing amazing amazing amazing and this is the best game entire world so so so so so so so so helpful for Learning too everyone is gonna love a lot ### 5/5 — Fun and educational *2025-02-21, version 3.1* I downloaded this game because my teacher said it helps a lot and I downloaded and I rarely used it but when I used it for like 4 hours I knew where all my states were! I recommend this game . Also no ads. This game is much fun and educational ### 5/5 — Great game but… *2025-01-05, version 3.1* I love this game and play it a lot. Although this game is really awesome and I love the variety of things you can learn about, I would change one thing. I don’t need to know the flags or the landmarks, I only study the capitals. So it would be really cool if there was a feature that was same stacking dynamic but was specific to the states and their capital. Once again love the game, play it every day and love how many game modes there are but would add this one. Thanks for reading and please take my suggestion in to consideration Harper ### 5/5 — great game *2024-12-21, version 3.1* i’ve played this game ever since i was a little boy it has helped me with geography and it’s just a great game ### 5/5 — Tips *2024-10-11, version 3.1* Add territories and separatists and claims ### 5/5 — Great app/game! *2024-10-04, version 3.1* This is an absolutely great app/game! I love it, and play it all the time! ### 5/5 — why did i need to pay again? 😭 *2024-08-13, version 3.0* i genuinely love this game, truly. i’ve been playing since i was five. however, for whatever reason, i still had to rebuy the app. i’m not sure why. even after i downloaded it again, my progress saved—more proof i used to have it. i’m so confused 😭 ### 5/5 — Good game *2024-07-25, version 3.0* My sister won a game by only using the smallest states. It took her over 1000 states to finally reach the top. It was quite an engineering marvel. ### 5/5 — Helpful, no adds, best game I ever downloaded! *2024-07-23, version 3.0* This app has no adds. It does not require Wi-Fi. I have played so much, I have played all mini games on hard, beating my big sister, and got all the states on 2 accounts. The game is to answer questions about states. Duh. So, I love it, because i was never taught much about states. This game reinforced my knowledge! Now I could tell every state and its capital. I swear, my childhood was playing this game! The map it game is my favorite! I started out, only identifying the locations of a couple states, then quickly only got the top scores, by identifying them all! I highly recommend downloading this app! By the way, if you want to, if you move a state you’re about to drop on top of a state you’ve already placed, sometimes they merge (developers: don’t get rid of this feature!). ### 5/5 — Outdated but cool *2024-06-29, version 3.0* I’m from Minnesota and I would suggest you add the new MN state flag? ### 5/5 — The best game *2024-04-08, version 3.0* Really fun and I can’t stop playing it is the most fun game I have ever played ### 4/5 — Nice *2024-02-14, version 3.0* The only reason I give it 4 stars is because you didn’t have the option to turn off faces on all 3 apps. Would’ve been nice if you had the option to turn off faces. Do it for the other two apps ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too difficult for younger children. *2023-12-21, version 3.0* This app is way too difficult for children 4-5 years old. I would say maybe for 6-7year olds and up. Disappointed. ### 1/5 — Ugliest Game Ever!!! Do Not Play!!! *2023-11-20, version 3.0* it had States having Sex with Eachother I WANT A REFUND!!! ### 1/5 — Stupid *2023-05-27, version 2.9.1* Stupid game why does it exist ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-04-07, version 2.9.1* Jkjk its 5 stars bruhhhh ### 1/5 — Fake,Frustrating,Useless Game *2023-02-26, version 2.9.1* This game has fake facts and it is so frustrating I hate it it is time wasting and it just takes up app storage on my phone I have never played a game so horrible in my life it is so overrated but it has no ads because it is that bad they just want people to like it with “ My game has no ads it is the best game you can play come buy it” just because there are no ads doesn’t mean it is the best so now you see. - The Critic ### 1/5 — Bad State: California *2023-01-19, version 2.9.1* Every since you pick California everything will be right but now never come in again ### 1/5 — Worst state Wyoming *2022-09-25, version 2.9.1* Wyoming just came out of sky and knocked my tower of states over ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE ☹️☹️ *2022-06-15, version 2.9.1* This app is the worst.I think that this is the worst app.$3.00 is a total waste of your money on this game!!!!! ### 1/5 — 😡 *2022-06-13, version 2.9.1* App dose not work!! ### 1/5 — CHEATS, NOT TURE NEVER BUY *2021-01-02, version 2.7* Hi, never ever buy this game. I shall now tell you the story of why you should never ever get this game. So one time my dad helped me answer a question he chose that answer, it was Wyoming. But it said it was a Vermont for some reason so then I was very confused. Then I went to the Internet and it also said it was Wyoming. And then over and over again it went, so it cheats and you should never never ever buy this game.I like this game but the only reason why I wouldn’t like it is because this. -Maddie ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wanna here a joke United Nations more like United Nations of cats instead *2026-08-18, version 3.1* Can you change some states to girls ### 5/5 — WOW!!!! love this game! *2026-06-22, version 3.1* this game is very fun! the stacking,the learning, and more! but... can you PLEASE make a update?

It’s fun, educational, easy to understand, and great for all ages! I highly recommend it. Now I’m going to move on to Stack the Countries or Mabel Stack the States 2, I hope and think it’ll be just as good. I hope whoever sees this tries the app. -6th grader whose homeschooled and been doing this since maybe 5th grade. ### 5/5 — 😄😄😄 *2026-04-21, version 3.1* My mom got this game for me when I was in 3rd grade, and I loved it and learned a lot. In 4th grade, my class was learning a few states at a time and did one section every week on a map of the U.S. By then I knew every state perfectly and was able to fill out the entire map when we first got it. My teacher was really impressed, and she was amazed that I knew every state perfectly. A map of the U.S. is a good thing to know in general, and I highly recommend this app. Also, there are no ads, I main game and 4 mini games, and flash cards. I still use this, and I am now in 7th grade. Thank you for an amazing educational learning app! ### 5/5 — WONDERFUL *2025-10-04, version 3.1* I love ❤️ this GAME ### 5/5 — I *2025-09-06, version 3.1* Hhjkl ### 5/5 — Childhood *2025-09-05, version 3.1* If Someone asked me why do you know all the states I point to this game when I was a little kid in summer eating muffins ### 5/5 — Capital Drop *2025-08-13, version 3.1* LOVE this game, grew up on it. Capital drop either doesn’t show capital or falls through the side sometimes :/ ### 5/5 — Great Game *2025-06-12, version 3.1* This is such a fun and engaging game for anyone wanting to learn more about U.S geography. I would highly recommend this game (and remember to set a timer - you’ll loose track of time!). --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
