Product Review of Big Seed

Formerly available only in schools, JiJi the Penguin makes its public debut! The objective of the game is to unfold the colored seed tiles to fit perfectly into all the empty cells. This is a MIND Research Math Curriculum to be completed by second graders.

Website: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id482245645

What Users Love About the App

“Oh my god. I have to say that the creators should get an A+ for this. It should be the curriculum instead of JIJI. You should get this app even if it’s hard at times; you can get through it and the instructions are self-explanatory!”

“I think it’s really fun, way better than ST math. You can fail as many times as you want and you don’t have to start over. It lets you see where it will fold (at least on iPad) and is sometimes hard, but not always.”

“This is the second-best free puzzle game I’ve found! KickBox, by the same company, was more challenging overall.”

“I really liked this game a lot. It is fun to play and helps teach my kids about transformations in math. Please add more JiJi games to the App Store! They are always a challenge and help teach students to think critically many steps ahead so they get the right answer.”

“This is an absolutely amazing and brilliant app. It is made for kids to teach spatial and math skills but addicting as gameplay for adults. The basic premise is to help a little penguin walk by solving spatial puzzles. There are many levels of gameplay and many concepts to conquer. A heartfelt thanks and kudos to the developers. I would definitely recommend this app to families and clinicians. It is a great way to assess a nonverbal kid’s strengths with spatial media. There is a school addition available, too.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“Honestly, this part of the game is utter nonsense. This isn’t even learning, it’s basically a game where you color bricks and put them together. That’s more matching than learning. Otherwise, it’s an awesome game!”

“In terms of playing the game, Big Seed is as good as they get. If I were judging on the game alone, I would have given it 5 stars. Unfortunately, there is very little playing time. Unfortunately, there is very little playing time. You will pay double for this game as you would for most, and it will last a fraction of the time.”

“I tried to make a player file for my brother but got kicked out of the app. Please fix this in the next update for Big Seed on the iPad Air.”

“When I reflect on the blocks they reflect in a different place. It is a huge glitch.”

“Let me tell you what I know about this game. I was looking for ST Math with my dad for remote classes. We thought ST Math had a new update and a new name, but it didn’t. I tried this app; at first, it was easy, but the last level was too hard. I would prefer you make the levels easier. Other than that, everything is great and awesome.”
