### 4/5 — Better Than Pen and Paper!

*2015-07-04, version 2.0*

It works.  It's free.  It helps pass the time when traveling with kids.  😀

Definitely would recommend this modern take on an old travel game.

### 4/5 — Game

*2013-07-27, version 1.1*

Do you have a related version for the Canadian provinces?
Do you have a version where you can put a player name for the person who spots each state for scoring?

### 4/5 — Very good

*2011-07-22, version 1.0*

Perfect for those who r looking for something to do on a road trip

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2011-05-03, version 1.0*

Fun, simple and free!!! Click on the state and it hides from your list. Easy to fix if you over click! Fun in the car!

### 4/5 — 51 states is probably

*2011-03-05, version 1.0*

Counting DC.  Can't wait for our road trip to Disney to try this out!

### 5/5 — Fun on car trips

*2010-10-19, version 0*

Kids love to play along.

### 5/5 — Perfect for road trips

Simple app for keeping track of plates you see on vacation.

### 1/5 — Don't like update

*2014-10-17, version 2.0*

Please revert back to old version. Don't need map of states. I know where they are. To much on the page, it was much better when you could hide state plates you had found.

### 1/5 — Shuts down

*2012-04-05, version 1.0*

I did it once, then the next day when I went to do it, it shut down

### 1/5 — Not good if....

*2011-01-07, version 1.0*

I was looking for a app that would show all the states licenses plates and this one just shows u the name like "south Dakota" and u click on it and it records that u found/saw it. Totally worthless

### 1/5 — States

*2010-11-20, version 0*

This app is not worth the effort; boring at best!

### 3/5 — 1/2 and 1/2

*2018-07-09, version 2.0*

This is really good it is really good for trips, but I don’t like it because you can not save the trips so you don’t know what you got so you can’t go back and look at what you had

### 3/5 — Ok

*2018-06-21, version 2.0*

It is a good game to keep occupied in a ride but I would recommend adding D.C., territories, and Canadian plates because sometimes you see them too.

### 3/5 — 51 states?????

*2010-10-13, version 0*

That's what it says

### 4/5 — Fun way to pass time

*2023-05-14, version 2.0*

We use State Hunt to help break monotony of long drives. Easy to use. However, the clear game function to start over is not working for me so I have to delete app and then download again

### 4/5 — Good

*2019-07-06, version 2.0*

It’s the best license plate game I played I just wish it showed a picture of the plate next to the state name.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2018-07-15, version 2.0*

We do a big road trip every year and I like to hunt for license plates. This app was great! We drive over 4 days and I could just tap what I saw. I do with it had Canada plates though.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2018-06-22, version 2.0*

Great app and does exactly what it says it will do!  Allows you to mark the states you see and as a bonus shows them on the US map.  You can show to just see the state abbreviation or the full name of the state. Showing the full name of the state also shows the date and time you marked it.  It gives you a number count at the top and tells how many you have found each day.  Our family loves it!  

The name of the app is State Hunt - which means that - states. People who are complaining and giving a low rating because DC isn’t included (NOT a state) or the Canadian provinces have unfortunately lowered the rating based on something the app doesn’t proclaim to have.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2017-02-05, version 2.0*

Works well and is easy to use.

### 5/5 — Great family game!

*2015-03-01, version 2.0*

We've been using this app since 2010 and 
love it.

### 5/5 — I love

*2014-07-21, version 1.1*

It's great for road trips!

### 5/5 — Pretty neat!

*2012-09-21, version 1.1*

It even tells you when you saw the plate :) thank you for making this!

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2012-07-30, version 1.0*

First, this really isn't a game so if that's what you're looking for, don't download it. But if you're like my family and like to keep a list of the different license plates that you see on a road trip, then this is the perfect little app! Very easy to use! The only ones missing are the Canadian provinces. Great app for what it's intended to do!

### 5/5 — Great app - simple and straightforward

*2012-06-20, version 1.0*

Kids have fun as they hunt for license plates on vacation. App keeps track of what they've got & what they still need. No fuss, no muss.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2012-06-17, version 1.0*

This is the perfect app for family fun. We track license plates on our annual family vacation and this app was a great addition this year. Thanks!!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2012-03-31, version 1.0*

This app is simple, has no frills (and a small file size, which also made it nice to download while on the road). It does what you need it to do to play the game while traveling. I am very happy with the app. No crashes, it saves your progress, let's you show or hide the states you've found. Great! It does not have any social media content associated with it (that's why 4 stars rather than 5). It does have a bonus, you can reset whenever you want. So the app can be ready for the next car trip!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2012-01-20, version 1.0*

This is great. It is simple and easy to use. Next update I wish they would add Canadian provinces since you see those too. DIstrict of Columbia was an added bonus. Nice Job!
