This war game helps players compare fractions while having fun! The beginner game uses halves, fourths, and eighths. The easy level includes thirds and sixths, the medium game adds in fifths and tenths, and the hardest game has percents along with all the fractions. The object of the game is to win all the cards from “Dr. Cotter”, the developer of this favorite game from the RightStart Math program. Tap on your deck to start the game, then tap on the greater value card and that player takes the cards. If the two cards are the same, it’s a war! If a wrong card is chosen, the linear fraction chart will pulse, indicating there is an error. The fraction chart may be enlarged to help with comparing the values. The winner is the player with all the cards at the end of the game. This game will provide hours of fun fraction practice.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Spades !! at Free against Fraction War's $1.99. Spades !! also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.2) and ratings volume (449 vs 5). Fraction War's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#178 vs unranked). On review sentiment, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Spades !! holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spades !! has 449 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Fraction War's written reviews are positive against 36% of Spades !!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fraction War ships an update every 15 months, Spades !! every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
