Some apps really don’t have a lot to criticize, and this is definitely one of those apps. There are no ads and no in-app purchases which is great to see in a kid’s app. Let’s face it: we don’t want our kids accidently accessing something they shouldn’t because of a pop-up ad. There isn’t much by way of instructions in this one, but it isn’t really necessary either. This app will require 55.5 MB of available space on your iOS device. 

How to Play

Gameplay in Twist and Count - Pinball Math! is pretty simple: it really is all about twisting your device. The app will give your child a simple math equation to solve, with three possible answers, and all users have to do is twist the device to maneuver the correct amount of little characters towards the right choice. It is similar to a pinball game in a lot of ways. Another good way of looking at it is that it’s reminiscent of those hand held games with the little marbles in them that you direct through a maze. The bottom line is that it’s a lot of fun. Once your child solves the equation he simply moves on to the next one by shaking the device. They’ll get a lot of mileage out of this game for sure.
