123 Kids Fun NUMBERS - Top Fun Math Games for Kids at Mac App Store analyse

i find the app very interesting

This app has lots of simple games for learning numbers. My daughters interest wasnt grabbed, so they arent great games, but they are okay. The interface did have a lot of frustrating things. For example - in 1 game you feed a hippo some food. If you touch an apple, it moves to the hippo. The hippo only accepts the food (e.g. counts it) if its mouth is open when the food arrives, as opposed to when it is touched. But, there is about a 1 second delay from when you touch the food to when it arrives. Its a subtle game mechanic that is frustrating (and not easily understandable) by the age grip that this app is made for. From a 2-3 year olds perspective, they touch an apple (she the hippos mouth is open), but the hippo doesnt eat it. This is too confusing. Also - the rewards screen where you get to dress up a snail also has a bad interface. You have to swipe at a certain speed to move between different things you can put on the snail, but if you swipe at a slower speed then you pick up the items to drag them to the snail. So, trying to move slowly through the items you can use is very frustrating because you always end up dragging the item rather than moving through them. There is really no point in having the drag a hat (for example) to the snail, since you have no choice in where it ends up. Why not just make it tappable rather than have 2 conflicting drag/swipe based gestures?

My son is 3 and a half...he can trace all the numbers now and finds the different levels challenging but not too hard. Great app!

123 Kids Fun Numbers is an excellent app for learning the numbers 1-10. The graphics and activities are playful and very reinforcing. There are 2 different modes in which to play. A mini game mode where you engage in 10 different activities with the corresponding number, providing a 1:1 correspondence for counting. It helps isolate and gives a child the time and space to integrate the concept of 1, 2, 3, etc. In the games section, there are 7 full games where the integration of the material is challenged. I like how this app provides a broad spectrum of activities - from a "Whack a Meerkat" game to number tracing. One of the games in particular - the car racing game also helps with right/left discrimination and integration. There is a reinforcer built into this app of making an aquarium, although I didnt feel this to be necessary as the game in itself is highly reinforcing. This app, once learned, will provide hours of entertainment and independent play. It is also something that you could generalize into everyday activities. There is a lot of body humor in this app - burping, gas, etc. which some may find offensive, but I think most kids find this funny. There are links, discreetly hidden under a button which you must hold down...but no ads or IAP. I would highly recommend this to beginning counters.

Great app for kids to learn counting! Trains their attention span and problem solving while enjoying great graphics as if you watching a cartoon!
