Digits, The: Fraction Blast
© 2012 The Digits
Featuring a strong female lead character, as a rock star, and a collection of well done cut scenes, this math app provides a playful experience with some of the concepts behind Singapore Math; namely numbers can be broken into parts, as long as you understand the common denominator. You enter your answers in creative ways, e.g., using the fret board of a bass guitar. There's not much actual content, however, in the free app that we reviewed. To get more, you are encouraged to buy the next episodes as a $9.99 in-app sales. Some of the cut scenes can get long, but they can be skipped; in addition it is possible to jump to various scenes. Note that this is a pretty large download, at 240 MB. Visit www.watchthedigits.com.
