A very basic set of activities for children just beginning to learn about numbers. Using numbers up to 32, Count Sort helps children recognize that counting must be done in a “one-to-one” fashion.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TouchChat Discover holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TouchChat Discover has 97 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Count Sort's written reviews are positive against 22% of TouchChat Discover's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Count Sort ships an update every 7 months, TouchChat Discover every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
