Review: German Numbers

German Numbers is an iOS game for iPhone/iPod Touch. The application is well made and it's setup to operate like a game with scores and statistics. The purpose of the app is to teach you to recognize numbers in German. There are three modes.

In Listen mode you type in the spoken number. In Speak mode you type the number that you wish to be spoken and in read mode you type in the number for the displayed work. This all sounds simple but for a new learner this process definitely helps you learn your german words thru repetition.

Overall I was happy learning my numbers but after a few days I started to lose interest. I think the problem is that it just isn't a lot of fun to play day after day. If there were more variations in graphics or game types I think it would be easier to play this regularly. I think with a few updates this could be a much better app, although for free I'm still going to recommend downloading it for anyone who is trying to learn or improve their German. For $1.99 you can buy the full version.
