What’s It About?
To play MLOB RULE - TOUCH PRESS GAMES, first verify your age. Then choose "Story" or "Multiplayer." There's an online multiplayer version as well as a local multiplayer that can be played with in-person classmates, parents, or friends. Read the storyline and the instructions. Move Mlobs (three per turn) by dragging them to the Mlob nearest the one that combines to make a whole number. Double-tap to delete Mlobs that are in the way of fraction combinations. Battle grids get bigger the more you play.
Is It Any Good?
Though it offers some fun options for math practice, this fractions app doesn't add up to the best value for the relatively high price. The storyline in Mlob Rule - Touch Press Games is underdeveloped, and the individual levels take quite a long time to complete, which may frustrate some kids who want to see more progress as they practice. The multiplayer option may add more fun, especially if many kids in a classroom are all using this app to practice fractions. Watching an opponent's moves can provide some good learning lessons that may help kids improve in the game and on fractions in general. If it were priced more reasonably, it could be a good option for basic fraction practice.
