What Users Love About the App

“I really like it and it is easy to use. My students are able to move the blocks around the screen without getting confused about where they are in the chart.”

“I like the fact that they have to tell it to regroup when adding and it doesn’t do it automatically which allows them to better see what they are doing and they don’t get confused and stop counting. Over all it is a good app I am glad I got it.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“A competitor offers the same app with the ability to add/subtract. I’d like to see that feature added here.”

“This is a great app EXCEPT the option to have two decimals does not work. I can get tenths but no hundredths.”

“I purchased 3 apps from this site but there is no sound. What can I do to access the sounds? I already adjusted it on the information menu but still no sound.”

“I purchased this app, but I was extremely disappointed. It may only have cost me 2 dollars but I could have put those 2 dollars towards an app better than this and put it to better use.”

“I tried switching it to decimals and the app crashed and would not function properly in the decimal setting. My rating would be a zero, but sadly Apple won’t let me rate less than zero. Please look for better apps out there before you waste your time and money with this one.”
