### 4/5 — Wish it was compatible with android

*2020-12-21, version 3.3*

My son LOVES this app and it was well worth the money, however he has learned how to make phone calls on my iPhone so I bought him his own tablet but this is his favorite app and he isn’t satisfied not getting to play it. If it was compatible with android there are a lot more people that would be willing to pay for it

### 2/5 — App isn’t loading

*2019-09-27*

It appears the app has frozen, since current ios update. My daughter loves this app, gutting it isn’t working correctly. Any ideas on correcting it? I have done all the normal things, reinstalling the app and switching phone off. But still the same.

### 4/5 — iOS 11 will brick this app...

*2017-06-14, version 3.1*

This app won't work for iOS11, could you guys update it? My toddler loves it and I'm positive the entire community of followers will appreciate it. Great work btw.

### 3/5 — サウンド再生処理に難あり

*2017-02-14*

いち と言い終わる前に二つ目を押すと、最後まで再生されずに い で途切れます。
複数をサウンドを並行して再生するのは簡単ですよ。
開発者のレベルが低く無いですか？
アプリの設計自体は悪く無いのに勿体無いです。

追記
これを書いてる間に同時押しを覚えてしまい、2.4.6.8と再生する様になってしまいました。
い どころの騒ぎじゃ無いです。
処理を修正して下さい。

### 4/5 — 以前、、

*2016-05-31*

お試しから課金し更に向上したアプリ購入しました。
現在はインストールしてませんがiphone4Ｓで使用してるのを観ていたら
明らかにクワガタなのにカブトムシと言ってました(ㅇㅁㅇ川
絶対！！ノコギリクワガタだった。。。

### 4/5 — Great!! Addicting

*2015-10-03*

My daughter loves this game!! She gets so excited and bring the iPad to me to play.

I just wish they would do an update and move the green arrow ( to return to home screen) because little children hold the bottom of the iPad and are constantly accidentally pushing the back button. It needs to be moved to the top left. It's a bit frustrating especially when it's there favourite game and it keeps restarting and they don't know why.

### 5/5 — 정말 좋아요

*2015-09-25*

애가 숫자에 영 관심이 없어서 받아봤는데 좋아해서 구매했어요 재미있다고 좋아하네요

### 3/5 — Ok app

*2015-09-11*

Not the best app. Keeps my two year old busy for a short time and then he gets bored. Doesn't really teach them to count, just tapping on pictures. However, for the price it's worth the few minutes of entertainment.

### 5/5 — My 19 month old loves it!

*2015-08-24, version 3.1*

The sounds and colors keep her entertained while allowing her to learn. She always chooses this app first.

### 4/5 — Great for counting

*2015-08-10*

My 18m old daughter loves this app! It not only teachers her numbers but names of items. My only complaint is the location of the home button. With her being a lefty her had is constantly hitting the home button when so goes to click the picture. Maybe it could be moved up so this doesn't happen for other lefties.... Which looks like both my kids are going to be.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2015-05-18*

I open this app with my two year old and after she clicks on a object I make her repeat the number it says she is starting to say them on her own before she even touches the objects!

### 2/5 — Mixed feelings:(

*2015-02-19*

While my toddler does play with the app, I don't like that my toddler can just slap his hand down on the iPad and it counts all 5 objects at once. "Five" it will say without making him count TO five. It was a bit expensive too for what you get and I don't like that kids can "cheat" by putting both their hands down at once and count all the objects on the screen at once. Should make it so toddler has to tap one at a time and really learn how to count.

### 1/5 — Complete rubbish

*2021-06-21*

Only showing how to count, not worth a quid, can get free app much better than this. What a rip off!

### 1/5 — Fraude

*2020-03-12*

Comprei o jogo, mas não tem em versão Português como consta na apresentação do app. Me sentindo lesada

### 1/5 — NOT WORKING

Can’t get this to work for some reason.

### 1/5 — schade ums geld

*2016-06-30*

Die App läuft nur auf englisch. es gibt keinerlei Einstellmöglichkeiten. Mein Kind sagte schon nach 2 Minuten:"Papa das ist langweilig"

### 1/5 — Freezes when leave and come back

*2016-06-29, version 3.1*

The app freezes when I leave the app, go to another app like Elmo, then come back.
I.e. The caterpillar is on screen, leave app by pressing main iPad button etc.
Some more/different images would be nice as well.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2016-04-05*

Constantly crashes so often have a very upset son who loves the app.

### 5/5 — Great learning tool

*2021-06-16*

This app keeps the little ones busy counting and learning the names of sometimes unfamiliar objects. Love it!

### 5/5 — Our two year old loves it

*2020-10-03*

Whilst she could count to twenty before this game , she did not really understand the concept past three. Whilst we have only been using it a week, she now understands the concept to six. She also loves the game. Well worth 99p.

### 5/5 — Best 99p ever spent.

*2020-03-26*

This app is mostly responsible for both of my children being able to count to 20 before they were 2 years old. On top of that the objects are varied and improved vocabulary. Great to play with my kids and a great educational distraction when out and about. It’s a simple app with not much content but it’s perfect for toddlers. Couldn’t recommend this to any parent more..

### 5/5 — Counting

*2020-03-09*

This app is good but if you want kids to count to higher numbers it doesn’t allow you to go higher unless you complete the smaller numbers first. If kids are practicing counting to 100 and want to see pictures it’s impossible to complete unless you start from one picture. This defeats the fun of practicing.

### 5/5 — Suporte

*2019-10-12*

Olá! O App é sensacional, meu filho é autista e fascinado por contar, adora brincar com o aplicativo; entretanto, após a ultima atualização do iOS 13.1.2, não tem mais funcionado. Tentei contato com o suporte, mas a página não abre mais. Vocês possuem expectativa de fazer a atualização do App para rodar no novo iOS?

### 5/5 — Toddler loves it!

*2018-07-08*

Works great!  Love the variety!

### 5/5 — Wonderful game to encourage early counting!

*2017-09-08*

Thank you for helping my twins learn to count

### 5/5 — Perfect for Under 2

*2017-01-11*

I've had some difficulty finding educational apps that my 18 month old daughter enjoys and is capable of playing. This app is PERFECT! She easily picked up on it and even loves the menu screen where she can interact with different objects that move and make sounds. I'm sure she will continue to play this for at least another year or two as she learns to talk and count herself. Definitely worth the cost and highly recommend to parents of other young toddlers.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2016-05-26*

1 year old, 2 year old and 3 year old.... They all love it

### 5/5 — 2.5 year old enjoys it

*2016-02-15*

Easy to use.. Good price for what you get in my opinion. Helps teach numbers and to count.
