"This app is the gold standard if you want to help your little one learn how to have fun while learning patterns." Sonja - mom and teacher Learning Patterns helps your child develop critical thinking and mental reasoning skills thus expanding a very important part of their mind. Plus, even adults will have fun playing with this app at the more advanced levels. :-) Approved by parents, teachers, and kids the world over. Learning Patterns is an exciting interactive game that helps you learn how to recognize and complete patterns all with just the touch of your finger. Pattern recognition and completion represents an important developmental skill for kids of all ages. The interface is so easy to use that even a toddler will delight in moving their first objects around the page. The app supports two modes to learning patterns. In the first mode, you decide the type of objects you want to use to learn to recognize patterns such as numbers, letters, images, etc. Once you start, the app will start with the most basic patterns such as ABABAB and it automatically increases the difficulty based on the users skills. The difficulty increases in two ways. First, the patterns get increasingly difficulty. Second, the missing tile moves from the last place to the second place and later the last two tiles are missing. The second mode allows you to zero in on specific patterns and lets students master that pattern with a huge variety of different images. The patterns included in this app are: ABABAB AABBAA ABBABB AABAAB AAABBB ABCABC ABCDAB ABCCBA IF there are other types of patterns you would like us to add please let us know and we can easily get them added. In total, the app focuses on 8 unique patterns and includes 3 levels of difficulty for each pattern like this: ABABA? A?ABAB ABAB?? The app also comes with over 25 unique collections of items to learn patterns. This way you can learn patterns by letters, numbers, colors, shapes, dots, balloons, hats, fruits, vegetables, animals, vehicles, etc. The huge variety of patterns and collections means that there are almost an infinite way of learning patterns which ensures to keep kids excited and engaged vs. getting bored by always staring at the same content. Not only that, at the end of every session you automatically get a beautiful summary to see exactly how your little one did. HEROIC SUPPORT Heroic Support is not just what we do.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Learning Patterns at Free against Fitoons's $4.99. Learning Patterns also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 63%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). Fitoons's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fitoons holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fitoons has 1.3K ratings behind it against 174, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Learning Patterns's written reviews are positive against 63% of Fitoons's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Learning Patterns ships an update every 22 months, Fitoons every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
