## Most critical reviews (9 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2011-10-20*

Terrible. Problem comes up and screen goes black. Waste of .99

### 2/5 — Fix the voice!!

*2014-10-02*

I bought this app for my classroom, but my first graders need help reading the problems. I was happy to read that there was a read aloud option, but the voice is so automated that I don't think they would be able to understand what is being said! Very disappointed!

### 2/5 — Fix it please!!!

*2011-11-05*

This would be a fabulous app, but I seem to having the same problem with all the apps by this company and the last reviewer...... The screen goes black. I really love this app...... Please fix the problem!! I am a kindergarten teacher and I would love for my school to purchase all the apps to support the common core standards!!!

### 4/5 — No voice

*2020-02-02*

I got this to my grand child. The preview shows voice but the app does not speak to them. This is useless without the voice.

**Developer response:** Yes, you’re correct. I’m sorry for the confusion. I noted the removal of the speaking in the update notes for version 1.6.1, but forgot to update the options screen shot.

### 4/5 — Keep it up!

*2013-02-19*

Awesome job Augustana!  Keep the Common Core apps coming!

### 5/5 — Your Classroom Focused Software Program

### 5/5 — By Kim

*2014-02-09*

I love it. My son is getting the hung of word problems. It's really awesome.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2012-04-23*

This is a wonderful app for developing thinking skills and problem solving. It is unique in that you can choose the type of problem with unknown numbers in all positions. It is easy enough that students can learn HOW to solve word problems. There are two types of counters available to model the program. My one wish would be to be able to write also. It would be wonderful to be able to annotate, draw and write while solving the problems.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2011-02-27*

My son faris found this very helpful. He feels motivated practicing out word problems before school time. This is one of the best educational support programs ever.
