To do so, they designed the app using the latest research within learning psychology and the most effective learning method: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

Say goodbye to mind-numbing screen time and distractions. Instead, say hello to this new, entertaining way to learn mathematics.

Testimonials from parents
“I really like the idea of combining math with a fun game experience. Victor has been using the beta version of the app for a while and he just loves it! He is absorbed by the adventure and he kind of forgets that he is practicing his math skills at the same time.”
“As a teacher, I know how important it is to master mathematics at a young age, and how important it is to keep repeating. Julia plays the beta version of Count on me! 15 minutes a day and I can really see how it builds her self-confidence in maths.“
Can I monitor my children's' growth and understanding of maths within the app?
Not yet. A way for parents to monitor and evaluate their children’s increased maths knowledge is something that we are developing. We will let you know when this functionality is released.
How does Count on me! differ from other maths apps?
What makes game-embedded teaching apps like Count on me! different to traditional mathematics apps is that they incorporate learning moments into a game, rather than adding elements of gamification into education. Many popular mathematics apps lack scientifically-proven (and rigorously tested) results. This means that there is no evidence to show long-term, statistically significant improvement in maths knowledge after using these apps.
On the other hand, the science behind Count on me! has been proven through the most academically-rigorous review process, giving parents and teachers the confidence that time their children and students spend playing Count on me! is time well spent.
Thanks to Game-Embedded Teaching, you can comfortably let your child play Count on me! in the knowledge that they are learning and mastering important early maths skills while doing so.
What devices can we use to play Count on me?
The Count on me! maths app is currently available for iPad and iPhone only and can be downloaded via the Apple App Store. Please note that the iPad or iPhone needs to run on iOS 13.0 or higher for Count on me! to work correctly.
We are also working on an Android version of Count on me! This is estimated to be released in 2023.
