Hard pass

I’m an educator and I am looking for an app to help introduce fractions. This is not the one. It just jumps right into assuming the student knows how to make 1/4 from 8 slices of cake or 1/2 from 4 slices. The user interface is super confusing as well. I feel like this app would frustrate any kid who was already struggling to understand fractions.
I like it!

I like this app and think kids will find this an enjoyable way to practice fractions. It seems a little youngish,but I'm going to try it with some of my 5 th grade boys at school and see what they think.
So far so good

Tried this app out before my kids, so their's will be the true test. But it seems tricky enough to be challenging, but not too hard either. I did think the instructions on the piece of cake game could be better. It should tell you to tap as many slices as the squeeble needs before attempting to feed the squeeble. I kept placing piece after piece on their plate and being told I was wrong, before I figured out you have to click each slice while still on the serving plate and then feed the whole section to the squeeble.
Great For Basic Concepts....

A wonderfully effective method of demonstrating the concept of fractions.
Changes to "easy setting"
Thankful mamma
My daughters are just learning the basics of fractions. Would love to see the easy section just have only "simplified fractions". i.e. 1/2, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 1/3, 2/3, 3/8 etc. otherwise this is a great app I would gladly change my rating to 5 stars if this feature were added.
