My Take
The in-app purchases can be frustrating for the students. At times various links will pop up and redirect the student to the app store.
How I Use It
Students are able to use this app to work on problem solving and collaboration skills. They must first identify a problem and find a solution to complete the game. The free version of the app is fun and the students do enjoy the different levels. They do eventually hit a limit though.

Where's the Learning in Where's My Water?
While a claim can be made that perhaps this app helps bolster a student's problem solving capacity, there is no element of the app that allows such a claim to be substantiated. Don't get me wrong... this is a fun game. Certainly, there is a time and place for this. However, there are a variety of curriculum-aligned apps that allow for students to build, create and problem-solve within the content being studied. With so much to teach and such little time to teach it, this app doesn't contain enough "meat" related to content to make a significant enough impact on real learning.

Fun application of physics for young students!
It's definitely designed for younger students k-8 but certainly entertaining and educational although you might need to "explain" the physics to younger children.
