### 4/5 — I remember this

*2024-05-26*

This game is soooo nostalgic! But maybe you could have a switch on the bottom that makes it 2D again and you can switch it back to 3D when ever you want!

### 4/5 — Great but needs update

*2020-04-28*

My toddler loves this. Counting is fun and she loves dragging items around and tapping the screen when prompted. But elements often start off-screen on my iPhone X, which is an obvious glitch. Eg: Burger building...the tomato is always off screen with the tiniest sliver visible. In order to drag it back on screen that often results in swooshing the app closed. Fix this and it’ll be amazing.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We just released a major update to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of TallyTots Counting. If you notice any new issues, please let us know at apps@little10robot.com. Thanks!

### 3/5 — Should be 5 stars, but not formatted for iPhone

*2020-04-06*

This app is excellent!!  My toddler loves all the games, however, the apps are NOT formatted to fit iPhone screens and therefore there are so many numbers we cannot complete because the objects are off of the screen.  Disappointing.

### 2/5 — The Counting Objects Never Change

*2020-04-02*

Your child will get bored immediately, the objects you select for each number never change; Select #2 and two race cars show up, you can race the two cars by pushing on an icon. This should be a free app since it’s so basic. I paid for this app and I regret it, there’s far more options available for greater value

### 3/5 — Good but expensive

*2016-10-14*

This is a good little app for 1-2 year olds but is quite expensive for what you get. Rating would be better if there was more value for money.

### 5/5 — Great app with a lot to do

*2015-03-04, version 3.4*

Every number has its own little mini-game (some more fun than others). Great introduction to 1-20!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2014-12-15, version 3.4*

I love how they have to count with each number. Repetition is so helpful in learning #s.

### 5/5 — Tally Tots

*2014-12-13, version 3.4*

This application is great for kids who are new to math or need some help with it. There are plenty of games that go with each number, that It will keep kids entertained for quite a bit, while they learn math!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-12-11, version 3.4*

Kids oriented and learning app. The graphics of the app are great.

### 4/5 — Kids will love it

### 1/5 — 0 stars. Need a refund.

*2020-10-29*

0 stars. Spent $3 on this app and it’s not formatted to my iPhone 11 Pro. The content cuts off at the top or bottom of the screen. What gives?

**Developer response:** We just released a major update to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of TallyTots Counting. It looks better than ever on all devices.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2020-05-07*

The app keeps crashing, very disappointed my 5 year old loves this app and now it won’t open

### 1/5 — iPad version on iPhone

*2020-02-27*

I have had this app for ages, it’s on my iPhone 6 and my sons mini iPad, but the version on my phone must be the iPad version and the graphics are too big for the screen so some of the levels can’t be done.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2018-08-30*

Definitely not worth $2.99. There are free apps that do the same thing.

### 1/5 — Was good until

*2017-05-05*

They started throwing adds into the game now my kid gets frustrated every time she bumps it.  I expect the games I pay for to not advertise otherwise I'd just free play.

**Developer response:** While we have never had any 3rd-party ads in TallyTots, we did remove the cross-promotions to our other products in the latest version. Thanks for playing!

### 1/5 — Will not open on iphone6

*2017-02-07, version 3.4*

Will not move on from the spin light screen. Awesome.

### 1/5 — Just purchased - has already crashed 20+ times. Will not play

*2016-05-16, version 3.4*

I just purchased this app a few minutes ago for iPad Air 2. The app has never opened successfully. Not once. It plays an opening bar of music and immediately closes. Total waste of time and money not to mention a disappointed toddler.

### 1/5 — Pas contente

*2016-04-23*

L'application ne s'ouvre pas

### 1/5 — Keep crashing

*2015-03-16, version 3.4*

It's keep crashing on iPad Air -1. Good game

### 1/5 — Tally tots

*2012-05-20*

This was very disappointing, in fact I think I should have my money back. It appears that all it does is, when a number between 1 & 20 is selected, counts to that number then shows a display with that amount of objects. That's it! BUT after trialling it twice I could not even access that page and it kept flipping me on to their advert page - with no way back. 

I want my money back this is a useless app. And as a retired teacher of 25+ years I know what I am talking about.
