1. Not sure why there is no timer or scorecard with date or player name, tools that help parents evaluate the understanding the child has. 2. Example: Counting by 2's is easy but is different to a child when you ask them to count by 2's starting with 1 (odd). 'Odd' that this basic concept is missing. 3. As in the above, counting by 3's but starting on 2 is fundamental if the child wants to be proficient in understanding the concepts behind mathematical processes. And at such tender ages, they should be shown a more precise picture of the relationships between numbers- we have the tools, now we need a more customizable experience from this app.
It's a good concept, but the app is horrible! It has no control function to limit the amount of numbers on the board, which makes it really difficult and frustrating for beginners. There are better apps out there that teach skip counting.
Just like the Hundred Board app - easy to use and straight forward. :)
