### 2/5 — Somewhat disappointing

*2012-01-24, version 1.0*

This app is fine for learning the states & their capitals but you get nothing more. No state abbreviations or U.S. map to learn the actual location of the states.

### 5/5 — Loving Superkids States and Capitals

*2010-01-27, version 0*

Great app! Very engaging, easy to understand, and makes learning state capitals fun. Whole family loves it, especially on car rides. 

Thanks Superkids!

### 4/5 — States and Capitals

*2010-01-21, version 0*

Wish we had this application a year ago when my son was memorizing the states and capitals. He and I have had fun with the hangman game, especially. It is a good review for any student. Flash cards are quick and easy to use.Recommend this one for parents. You can help your child study while you have a few minutes out on the road. Now, if they can just come up with a similar app for SAT words, I'd be thrilled.

### 5/5 — My kids actually like this...

*2010-01-16, version 0*

Nice clean and engaging interface.  One of the few educational programs that my kids actually seem to enjoy playing.

### 5/5 — Great balance - learning and fun

*2010-01-16, version 0*

Superkids got this app right, with a nice balance of fact presentation using flash cards, and mesmerizing game play for active reinforcement using hangman.  (Other apps I've tried use just one or the other).  I'm going to email my Room Mom about it after school today.

### 5/5 — Amazing App!!!

*2010-01-15, version 0*

Before getting this App I barely knew my states and capitals, but now I'm flying through the exciting gameplay snatching up +50 point bonuses for perfect accuracy! This really is a great way to learn states and capitals as it turns what can be a mundane activity into a battle between life and death as you strive to save the most likeable and animated hangman character I have ever seen. Further, the flashcards are amazing and look just like the real deal! With cool forward and backward flipping motion, the flashcards serve as a great way to try your skills before trying your hangman character in court - who will inevitably need your state and capital knowledge to resuce him at the gallows. So, my hat off to the developer - I hope there is more to come!
