DirtMovers – Construction Counting takes the things little boy’s love; bulldozers, dump trucks and bucket loaders and creates unique learning opportunities in a fun and creative way.
With five ways to learn counting, DirtMovers has an excavator that announces the number and displays a new pile each time it takes a swipe of dirt. Then there is bulldozer rock push, where you child pushes the desired number of piles of rocks then chooses when to check his answer to see if he is correct. The dump truck fill-up is where your child is instructed to load the dump truck to a desired amount and check the answer to see how they did.
There is construction count along where your child taps a number then watches the screen as that amount of items appears with real voice counting to follow along with. For the more advanced counting fun, there is the count and tap game, where your child is instructed to count the number of dirt movers on the screen and tap the correct answer.
Reviews
Not worth it!

I was back and forth trying to decide whether to get this app since it was $2 and there were no reviews yet. I ended up purchasing it and I wish I could return it! My 3 year old got bored with it in about 5 minutes! He expected it to do more and I did too! It's MAYBE worth 99 cents, but definitely not a $2 game!
Sigh

Should have heeded the warnings and not wasted $2 on this. Not realistic at all. Wish we could find something that worked more like the actual trucks and wasn't just tapping.
Poor grammar--expected better

Notified the author of poor grammar in the app with no change made for the better. I would expect more from an "educational" app. Don't buy or you'll be embarrassed to have your child use it.
Disappointed
Mom2twins!!!
I am so disappointed! I searched and searched for an educational game to spumy 4 year old son's interest. When I found this one I was so very excited to find something with tractors! What a let down! This game does nothing! It just counts for the child! My son could hardly stay interested to even look at the 5 activities! This was not worth the money.
Not much to it

This should be free. I love that this is an app with lots of construction vehicles because that alone makes my sons face light up, but he gets bored with the app really quickly because there is just not enough to it. It's too simple. And it does not teach him what the right answer is just that he got it wrong! There should be more in depth apps with these types of vehicles in them!
Needs a lot of work - refund my purchase please

Unfortunate that I had to pay for this not knowing if the defects will be fixed. The app sound/volume is far too quiet even when iPad volume is @ max. That is beyond show stopper and should have never been released. Want $$ back.
It is simple, but very cute

My son loved the trucks. This is for very young children.
Save your money

This app does practically nothing. Very little chance for the child to interact with the app or be creative. Simply touch the object, it moves and the count changes. All "games" do the same thing. My 3-year old was bored after 2 minutes!
