SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE
This is a good application for a quick brain challenge. I like the fact that you can select a number of options like addition alone or subtaction and multiplication alone or altogether as well. Instead of a full blown brain challenge, its nice to just select math for a quick exercise to keep your brain active. Also its fun to challenge someone to beat your score. Simple, but very effective and well priced.

AWESOME!
Really helped my 3rd grader with her times tables.... and she enjoys it too!
My First Grader enjoyed it...
On his first go around. The only thing I see right now is, it would be nice to review wrong answers. Even if the screen changed colors or something to let him know this was one he had missed. He asked me when he was finished...."Which one did I get wrong?" and unfortunately I wasn't there to see him choose.

not very hard
gets boring in 2 minutes.
Limited Application
Well, it flashes up simple maths problems and tells you if you get the correct answer or wrong answer. I guess for the price, that might be all you want, but its not an application you are likely to return to for 'Brain Food' as the description puts it.
A Parents Dream!!!!!
Great for traveling
Has potential
Purchased the software and have had it lock up my iPhone 3G several times. Sometimes after setting the prefs, sometimes after answering an equation. If they can resolve the lockups I think it would be a good program. If they have updated it and there is a delay with Apple getting the update online, I wish they would make a comment here of an update that is coming soon. It is unusable as it is right now for me.

don't buy
crashed my iPod everytime I used it
Less than a buck....
This may just be the best app you could spend a buck on.
Nevertheless I find it annoying that I set it to 15 sec and they reduce the time as questions are answered.
I would like to be able to toggle that, more fine tune the timing (think any number of seconds), and maybe tweek the reduction schedule.
Basicly, this is exactly what I wanted though.

Some small changes
First off: ""While one reviewer said you can't specify total time, you can specify the time per equation (thus ultimately a total time)." Please re-read what I stated, I didn't state that you can't specify total time, I stated that I would like to be able to customize the time per equation because I would like lower values such as 5 and 10 seconds. Some of my children's tests are 2 minutes long and 20 questions, for example, therefore they have 6 seconds to work out each equation, so 15 seconds is too long. Another small change which would be a nice enhancement would also be, along with the correct/incorrect score, if it showed the total average time it took to answer all the questions.
Correction: I had the program wrong on what it is actually doing in relation to the Time Limit. I emailed palaware and found out what it is actually doing. The time is per question but it is reduced by 25% when 25% of the questions are answered, then 50%, 75%, etc. I don't understand why it was done that way but some changes I requested will be considered in an update.
