What Users Love About the App
“Hi! I have a learning disability and I’ve always hated math. This app truly taught me more than my teachers ever did in school. I recently got a job and I had a really hard time counting money. I downloaded this app, and within 2 days I got beyond good! I’m honestly addicted to this app. I recommend it. My only suggestion is that the bills could be made bigger. There are also a few glitches, but nothing major.”
“It’s easy to use, the design is clean, and having five different games adds good variety.”
“Good to use for individual practice. Nothing fancy, but it’s engaging for students.”
What Users Dislike About the App
“In real life, there is an obvious size difference between all of the coins. This app doesn’t show the difference. I teach students with exceptional needs functional living skills such as counting money. When I did the first problem, I was sure that it was showing me two nickels so I entered in 10 cents. I was dumbfounded to receive the message that the amount was too little. I wasn’t sure what was going on, so I kept entering the same answer until it finally told me that the correct answer was 30 cents. I then looked closer at the coins and sure enough, one was a quarter and one was a nickel. The next problem showed the penny being the same size as the nickel. One of the main ways my students tell the difference between coins is by their size, which means that they would have a hard time successfully using this app. Fix this issue and I think it would be a good app.”
“I like the variety of ways the app works with money. The only improvement I can suggest is that the bills are small when you are in the counting menu and hard to read on an iPod touch.”
“You count the money and coins correct, and the game says you’re wrong. It literally makes no sense.”
“Don’t play this game, it’s VERY messed up. I definitely don’t recommend younger children to play this game because it will not help them in any way.”
“The app makes me start over with the same problems every time I go out of the app. I have to keep going through the same exact problems in order to get to new ones. Unfortunately, I’m able to memorize the answers. If this gets fixed, it would be a great app.”
“The currency is too small and becomes pixelated when you hit the 2x button. The currency needs to be large and clear so that students/kids can recognize it.”
