  • Best app for math drills!

    My daughter uses this app daily. We love it! It's user friendly and allows you to adjust what kinds of math drills you want, whether it's addition, subtraction, multiplication or division- or a combination. You can adjust which numbers you want to focus on. You can also adjust the number of math facts per practice, review, or test. I love that it also keeps a record of your test scores. Plus, you can have more than one user, each with their own setting. As a teacher and parent, I love this app!

  • Whatever changed in ver 6, change it back

    Ver 5.5 would let you review prior scores by date. That is gone in this new version. Please bring it back. Thank you. Otherwise, this is a great math drill app for our kids.
  • Best value!

    Great app for kids learning math at all levels for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division!
    Great customization features and record keeping for continuous improvement!
    No commercials or adds!
    Simple, easy, and functional! ...not all sorts of distractions (i.e. purple whale themes, space, etc) ... like traditional flash cards minus all the cutting paper and waste!
    Low cost = best value!
    I have not been paid nor do I know the developer... I just like the simplicity, functionality and low cost!

  • Well worth it

    Adds so much more to math drills lite. Love the reports and analytics.
  • Good, but could be better

    You can isolate facts that you want to drill with kids. They like the app because it is boring to do it on paper. As a teacher, I am always looking for ways to track data on the knowledge of math facts. I can use this app to test kids or to use it as a Tier II intervention. Once I know the facts they are struggling with or if they need to speed up their thinking, I can just drill those particular facts. The only drawback is that addition and subtraction facts only go up to 9. I need them to go up to 12. If it had that capability, my entire school would be using this app. Plus, i wish I could choose which tests are included in the reports or data. Right now, the reports are all grouped into one. So if you are working on plus 3 facts, you can't just view that report. It includes every test they have ever taken. I hope the writers can make some small changes to make it better for teachers and parents.

  • Great!

    I would love to give this app 5 stars, but I would like to see the ability to do timed drills to help out with large groups (I have a large class and it would be easier to pass it along if students could be timed for one minute). I suppose I could just have them do 10 to 15 problems and then pass it along. The interface is very nice and clear. If students could write their answers with their fingers, that might be nice, too. Overall a fantastic app for providing dreaded fact practice (my students love doing things on the iPad).

  • Math Drills

    A great app to use to attain automaticity in the classroom. I use it as a quick review most mornings with my Year 6 class and test weekly.
  • Great resource

    This app is a great resource. Looking at it from a teacher in the process perspective I would use this is my classroom. One suggestion to the developer would be to have an area to the side where a student could use their finger to write out their thinking. I do like the tools that they are given though: the number line and chart.

  • Fantastic

    Great app for practicing math facts. You can customize it to practice only one family of facts (1+0 thru 1+9 for example), practice all the addition facts, or anything in between. The same is true for the other operations. You can also select to do just addition, just subtraction, or practice both together. You can do the same for multiplication and division and can even practice all four operations together.
    The app really shines in the tracking though. It keeps track of which facts you have a hard time with, not just in which ones you got wrong but also which ones took longer for you to remember and answer correctly.
    The only issue I've had so far involves multiple players. If you forget to select your name and take a test as another player, there is no way to throw out those results. This throws off the tracking and charts for that player. A way to eliminate "bad" tests would be helpful.
    A simple way to help prevent this issue in your household is to make certain each player is using a different color theme so they will easily spot that they are using the wrong player ID.
    Overall, a great app. Well worth the price and well be using it for several years.

  • Great for x & / too simple for + & -

    A great app that lets you set the highest and lowest numbers for each operation, add or remove hints, and track multiple children each with their own settings.

    However, while this app goes to the 12 by 12 scales for the multiplication and division it tops out at 10 for addition and subtraction.

    So my 3rd grade son can practice hard on multiplying and dividing all the way to 144, but it's way too easy for addition since the hardest problem is 10+10 and he passed that a while ago.

    Adding 2 and even 3 digit numbers to practice on for adding and subtracting (and even multiplying/dividing) would make this a five star app and usable for higher grade levels.
