A fun way to learn the names and locations of all 50 states and their capitals. ‣ Quiz yourself on both states and capitals. ‣ Earn States to unlock Puzzle Mode. ‣ Easy Mode for beginners and young learners. ‣ Spoken pronunciation of each state and capital. ‣ Facts about each state including state tree, flower, bird, flag, statehood and more. ‣ Statistics screen to allow students to identify which states and capitals they need to work on. Four modes to choose from for both states and capitals: • Learn Mode allows you to tap and highlight each state to see its name or capital and hear it spoken. Launch the information panel to view additional facts about each state, including: capital city, nickname, tree, bird, flower, and more. • Game Mode uses both text and audio prompts to see how many states or capitals you can identify. There are two difficulty settings: Easy and Hard. Easy setting has an adjustable time limit of up to 10 minutes, and indicates states that have already been found. The Easy setting is great for young learners. Hard setting pits you against the clock to see how many states you can identify in one minute. Earn bonus points for any time remaining on the clock. Local high scores and Game Center leaderboards track your best runs. • Test Mode is where you can measure your progress similar to how you may be tested in the classroom. There are two options available. For the spelling option, tap each state in any order you choose, and type its name at the prompt. For the location option, tap the given state when prompted. There are no time restrictions for Test Mode. • Puzzle Mode is unlocked when you earn your first state. Earn states by playing the Game Mode. Once you have earned all 50 states, you can complete the puzzle. Earned states never go away, and you can shuffle and rebuild the puzzle as often as you like. — Free to Try — iLearn: US States is free to download. Learn Mode is always free, along with a set of free Game and Test rounds. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks unlimited play. No ads and no third-party tracking. Engaging and fun application designed by a classroom teacher. Game Mode can be addictive, allowing you to unwittingly learn all 50 states in just a few hours.
