Ratings and Reviews
Fun, quick, educational
There are absolutely no advertisements or pop-ups in this app. I play it on i-phone and iPad. There are several games in Stack The States, but you cannot play them all immediately. You have to win enough states to advance to a new game, so success relies on some prior knowledge. This is not going to teach kids to identify the states if they are clueless to begin with, but it will reinforce what they know, and add to their sense of confidence or self-efficacy.
Playing the Stacking game is educational because you have to identify the state given 4 choices, but it's also funny. I love watching the states' facial expressions — the look in their eyes — as the stack wobbles or falls.
My only quibble is that the state flags are too small to read clearly. I wish they would expand quite a bit larger when I tap it.
There is another game where you have to place the states on a map as fast as possible, but with 3 strikes you're out. Good fun. Works better on iPad than iPhone, due to size.
The other games in the app are okay, too, but stacking and mapping are my favorites.
Worth the Money but...
I downloaded stack the states when I was only 9. In just 2 or so weeks of obsessively playing it, I knew so much more about the states than I did before and had collected over 120 states!
I do wish that the updates were placed on the same app, because I wouldn’t pay anything for the second version now that I know quite a bit about the states, but still like the new elevation maps and mini games the second version provides.
Also, I wish that you could transfer the app between two devices. I got stack the countries on my Samsung Galaxy S9 phone and want to transfer it to my iPad without having to buy it again. I also got pretty far in the app (received over 120 countries) and don’t want to start over.
Thank you for reading this review, I really love the app!
God sent this to us
This game is my childhood. I love this game so much that I got all three of the bunch! Sure, the later eterations of the game didn’t have as many mini games other than stacking, but I love just making it sound like the states are interacting! There are almost endless possibilities for this game! If there was something I would like to add, it would be a story mode with 50 levels trying to rescue states and every 10 levels a boss was blocking a minigame, and you had to answer questions and get to the finish line before the boss to win! Then the final boss would be blocking your avatar, and you had to do every single minigame, along with the speed stack, to save him! The developers don’t have to add this, but a future game of yours could be based around this. But hey, it’s already really fun how it is.
That’s all from me!
