“Ive never seen my 3-year-old do any sort of math before...I assumed she wouldnt be ready for the kind of reasoning necessary for a math game. But no, she was clearly ready.” - Jessica, mother

Latest reviews of Motion Math: Hungry Guppy app for iPhone and iPad
This app is just ok. Certainly not slick enough or enabled with enough options to warrant the 3.99 I paid for it. Kids are relatively content with it. But certainly not enough there to hold their attention for a long period of time. Wish there was more explanation for the kids on what to do. The voice giving instruction is quieter than the background music!
My daughter and I had a great time playing this game! I particularly like the way addition is conveyed by combining two bubbles together, and my daughter just love feeding the fish and watching it grow! Great job guys!
My son spent way more time with this than I thought he would. And hes learning addition! Win win.
This game looks pretty and is a fun way for kids to learn simple math. Great job!
Shared this app with my friend and her three-year-old. Happy to see a little girl encouraged in math and to hear her say "I did it!"
