good content - poor graphics - pricey – Time, Money & Fractions On-Track Review

The content, as promised in the description, is helpful, varied, and engaging. The audio instructions are clear and there are plenty of activities for money, fractions, and time. My only complaint is that the graphics are really subpar. This is an iPad only app and yet it's obvious that it was ported from another platform without much thought to matching the iPad's native resolution. Normally, I wouldn't care. I have native iPhone apps that work just fine on the iPad at 2x resolution. In this case, we're trying to teach a child to recognize coins and count coins. The coins are all blurry and heavily pixelated. For youngsters, the details make all the difference. For example, a dime could be recognized from its size, but you should also be able to read the words "ONE DIME" on the back of the dime. On this app, the words are so blurry that it's not possible. The coins are all large enough that it should be easy to read the words on them. For a $1 app, a lot of those things are forgivable. For a $10 app I expect for an iPad app to match the iPad's resolution. I hope that this issue is addressed and that a fix is provided. I would like nothing more than to give this app a 5 star rating.
