Stack the States® Reviews

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 StacktheStates 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 StacktheStates (received over 120 countries) and don’t want to start over.
Thank you for reading this review, I really love StacktheStates !

This educational game has been part of my school for many, many years. And I still play it to this day. When I first got it, I couldn’t answer any of the questions except for a few that were obvious for me. I regretted getting it and thought I would never be good as it. I became better and better at it and learned everything about the states. That’s the point, right? This game is fun to play and doesn’t really feel like school. The interactive map and flash cards can teach as well, but I pick up information faster by playing the game. There should be a hard mode for stacking mode where questions are harder and there’s a time limit for questions for more experienced players. But that’s about all I want from this. Without this game, I would have known NOTHING about geography.

I love StacktheStates so much that I actually posted about it on Facebook and encouraged friends to get it too. I got it for my kids but I play too.

I do have one complaint... when playing the hard level of puzzler, Rhode Island is placed on the far left edge of my screen and I find it impossible to grab and drag. This is on an iPhone 11. If it were on the right side, I could at least put the rest together and then hover them over it to pick it up, but it’s too far on the left. It often takes me 20+ seconds to keep stabbing my finger at it to get enough contact to move it. I would hope it could be corrected, but with the last update being four years ago, I’m not holding my breath...

I bought this game for my daughter who has special needs. Her reading ability is not where it should be for her age, however, that doesn’t mean she is incapable of understanding. The only reason why I’m not giving it all the stars is solely out of the inability to have the questions read out loud to the player. We love the size of the font, the graphics, the sounds, and the customization of the type of questions! We would love it even more if my daughter could keep her independence while playing it instead of having to endure our interruptions.

StacktheStates is fun, has NO adds and is very educational. My son enjoys playing this game. It has really helped him improve his geography knowledge. It’s great for teaching names of states and capitals, shape of state, postal abbreviation, famous landmarks and more. I use it as a supplement to our homeschool geography course. It’s fast and the kids really enjoy it. I downloaded it at least two years ago and my son still plays it and my daughter is getting old enough to start. Everyone is happy when it is on the schedule for the day. It starts off simple and progressively gets harder so they continue to learn. Hope you appreciate StacktheStates as much as we do!

They are learning while having fun, and they is the most important thing to me as a mom. I look over and they are smiling and learning the right way. There are absolutely no ads, which lets them focus on what they are currently doing. I have actually tried playing it and it has a variety of questions, levels, and different learning games! They can learn where the states are on the map, their names, flags, abbreviations, capitals, and many more. There are no glitches whatsoever so they are always having fun!

All in all I totally recommend this game!

Okay so I love stack the states I have been playing it since kindergarten (am in 6th grade) so I was playing and I saw a ad for your 2nd version along with some fun looking games so I check the games out stack the states two and tower math look so cool only problem they cost money. The first thing that came to my brain was so a game is making us pay to learn. I don’t even know why education game developer would even do such a thing.

This is an amazing and educational game. The way you can play mini games as well adds more to it! 🇺🇸 when I first played I was like, ack! These are really hard! But I played it more and it gradually got easier. Eventually I got a tad bit bored and I downloaded stack the countries and THOSE were really hard. But if you get one wrong it tells you the right answer.
I definitely recommend both games
😄😄👏🇺🇸🇮🇪🇬🇷🇧🇷🇧🇭🇨🇦!!!

My grandson started playing this when he was 4 years old! He was captivated by it and quickly learned all state capitals and positions and shapes! His older sister was a bit jealous.. he loved the stacking challenge too( as does grandma!). He moved on to stack the countries. He knows way more than I do about where everything is. I asked him one time "what country is between Russia and China?" He immediately answered "Mongolia"--- and I was amazed! He thought everyone knew that

She learned so much from spending time together playing this game! I even rebought it when I switched my OS. She loves stacking more than the questions but she got to know most of the answers and she knows the shapes of states better than I do. Winning new games in the system was very motivating. She also liked winning all 50 states. We got this first when she was 5 and at 7 she mastered it but still really enjoys it.

I remember when I was in 3rd grade I played this game with the other kids in my class cause we had nothing else to do, now I downloaded StacktheStates again cause my sister needs help with naming her states, I played it again and before I knew it I was mastering map it! I with there was more mini games though cause I mastered them all and I want a bit more, the sky is the limit!

I play Stack The States for school, and couldn’t imagine a better game for learning about the states! This games includes: border info, abbreviations, national monuments, and more. It has no adds, so it takes much less time than normal phone games. I highly recommend this game for all ages😀! Many people I know play this game and think the same thing. So, what are you waiting for? Downloaded Stack The States now!!!🇺🇸

You know how there's also such thing as stack the countries? Well, maybe you guys should also make a "Stack The Celestial Objects" version where you stack planets (both planets in the solar system lie, Earth and exoplanets like "Kepler-22 b"), stars, white dwarves, black dwarves, nebulae, supernovae, hypernovae, ultranovas, planetary nebulas, black holes neutron stars (both regular neutron stars and pulsars), black holes, galaxies, clusters (of stars and galaxies), quasars, magnetars, superclusters, space probes, and many more.

I LOVE this game so so much! But I think they should have you learn different parts of the U.SA and what we are already learning. It would be great! For example At the main menu they could have a button that says “Parts of the U.S.A” it could have pictures of the parts of the U.S with the name of that part under it. I would be the same when you play but with that certain part.

i remember in 4th grade my teacher would plug her ipad into the smart board and we would play this as a class. I loved it so much that i downloaded it on my ipod at home and would play for hours, this game is the reason i can look at a blank map with no state borders and tell you exactly where any state is.

If you have kids definitely try this game out on your kids, great game!

Great game but map it takes away the last star. It’s okay but when you click somewhere close to the location of the state like the border it says you got it wrong. I don’t think it should cost $2.99 though. But other than that I think it is a very good app.

This developer is fantastic!!! I hadn’t realized that several of the apps I had downloaded, some many years ago, were all developed by same! These are my never remove/delete apps! They are the staple in my digital pantry!!! Great stuff!! Love even more the fact my faves are developed by same- wow that’s great!!! Keep up the fine work. Appreciate this team!

I am 10 years old. I have my states capitals test tomorrow, and I was so nervous about it until I bought this game! I used to ask my friend Erica to give me a pop quiz and the only state I'd get right would be Vermont and California. Now, she gives me little pop quizzes, and I ASK for them. This game is fun, and great for learning at the same time! This is the CHILD'S side of the story. 👍🏻👌😍

StacktheStates is very educational but a very terribly written app. Kids have to get above 60% which is very very hard and makes kids. (As in my experience) the should make it at least 50%. The questions are a bit too difficult. And the eyes are very creepy on the states. Thank you for listening to my comments. Oh, and one more thing, do you want more kids to learn what you are teaching? MAKE IT FREE! More kids will learn about you made. I mean you StacktheStates for kids to learn, so if you want more and make your app5 stars make it free!

StacktheStates is encouraging kids to learn middle school geography but in a fun and amazing game. I hope to who ever is reading this that you download StacktheStates for your kids and maybe learn yourself too. There are even add on mini games to StacktheStates. They are just different ways to learn the states. Hope you like it!

My boys are 2.5 and 4.5 and they love this game, as well as STS2, and stack the countries! My only issue is they can't read the questions so I have to read them for them. Maybe in the next update you can add a read the question feature where you can tap the question and it reads it for you? 😁
