What Users Love About the App

“I thought this app was very intuitive and should be easy for students to navigate and use. Although the design is simple, the content is anything but. It requires students know a fair amount about plants and animals.”

“I think this app is particularly timely, for the NGSS as the first of the cross-cutting concepts in the NGSS has to do with Patterns and includes classification as a key activity. Gameplay is smooth and intuitive, with a clear explanation of how to play.”

“The game moves along well and is a challenge for those who are at all ends of the learning spectrum. Young students will find the Easy-level matching tough, and even learned, science-minded users will find the hardest setting a good puzzle.”

“Love the educational game. It is colorful and appealing for Chilean but it is not as easy as it appears. I just stayed on the easy level and have gotten things wrong! Really! Humbling. Everything isn’t obvious.”

“My sister is not the smartest in the grade, but after this game, her topic was about classifying and she even got a certificate of smartest and fastest and she’s only 8!! I recommend it for any age!”

What Users Dislike About the App

“I noticed a lot of incorrect facts about some animals. For example, house geckos lay soft-shelled eggs. Not hard. I’m not a biologist or herpetologist but I’ve noticed a few big mistakes. Also. Maybe I’m just super technical but some questions I know I answer correctly end up being incorrect.”

“The developer never updated the app, so it doesn’t work on our iPads anymore. I wish so badly they would update it, it was a great tool to help my students classify animals and to just learn so many facts about animals.”

“I’ve just started playing with this and I’ve already found an error. Carpenter ants fly, or at least some of them do some of the time.”

“Apparently shedding skin cells and hair doesn’t count as shedding for humans and they must not know what countershading is because they don’t believe that penguins have camouflage. These are just a few of the errors I noticed. I deleted it after only a few rounds.”

“They only have a handful (or, well, zooful) of animals and other organisms to sort. And no, I’m not learning anything from this. I already know the obvious facts about these animals. Plus, many of the animals have camouflage when the app says they don’t.”
