Common Sense Media says

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Team Umizoomi Math: Zoom into Numbers HD is an educational math game aimed at toddlers and preschoolers. The app contains five mini-games: Toy Store Counting, Number Bubbles (number recognition), Rolling Toy Parade (number sequencing), Race Around Umi City (number comparisons), and Up! Up! And Balloons (addition/subtraction). Kids must unlock the last four games by completing at least one round of the game before it. When a round of a game is complete, kids earn a reward. After eight rewards in one game, they can earn a trophy. Earning trophies on all five games unlocks the "Key to the City." The city itself also has objects to interact with. The Number Bubbles game has characters chewing bubble gum and blowing bubbles.
Is it any good?
TEAM UMIZOOMI MATH: ZOOM INTO NUMBERS HD has some great features including the ability to have four player profiles, plenty of enthusiastic (if repetitive) feedback, and game objects young kids will relate to (toys, balloons, cars). It may try to pack a bit too much range into the app, however, as a child who needs to learn basic counting will probably not be ready for subtraction. The app also doesn't require any mastery or progress in one game before a child can move along to another one, which may result in kids playing a game that is too difficult. Negative feedback is gentle and, in most games, involves a prompt to choose the right answer, which helps keep kids from being frustrated. This is likely to be a hit with the preschool crowd.

Everybody Umi-Shake!!!
I bought this app for my three year old who LOVES Umizoomi. It is a GREAT app! Very easy for my daughter to navigate. There were some complaints prior to my buying it that the volume was was an issue. They seemed to have corrected the problem, however the volume is still a little lower on the songs than on the actual game. So when your child starts the app, it may seem a little low. However, once the actual game itself begins, the volume picks up. So when your child earns a trophy and everyone does the "Umi Shake," fear not, you're not getting old or going deaf, the volume does drop a few decibels. It's really the only criticism I have of this app. Oh, and parents should sit with their child when they reach a new level. While my daughter knows how to count, she found it a little confusing when actual math equations (simple ones, of course) were introduced. Once I explained them and we did a few together, she zipped through all of them on her own.
