Fun!
This makes math fun! My son doesn't like math much but loves this game.HenkDawson
Promising, but flawed
I had high hopes for this app. I like the fact that it practices addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, at three levels of difficulties. It also gets harder as the player demonstrates math skills.I do not like the fact that it has only multiple choice for answers. Not only that, all answer choices are in sequence. It would be much improved if there were other logical choices ( like 8 as a possible answer for 0 x 8). I am not trying to trip up my kids, but I think it would add to the challenge and help them identify errors in thinking / logic.
So, with only the above issues, I'd probably have given this app 4 stars... But then I heard my kids' reactions. "Mommy! The numbers have eyes! That's creepy!" Both my kids were so creeped out by the eyes on the numbers that they insisted that I delete the app from their iPads. The fact that they were half open eyes seemed to make it worse. Bummer. My daughter (age 6) was also disturbed by some of the environments. My son (age 8) was frustrated by the timer. As an avid video game player, he interpreted it as "losing health and dying". For the record, he gets stressed by being timed at school too.
So, I would be very interested in other editions of this, especially if they allowed for customization, but this one ended up being a bust for my family. I would suggest you let your kids look at the pictures before you pay and download.Grade School Mom
Math drills
I purchased this app for my 3rd graders to have extra practice with multiplication and division. I like the app to a certain extent. Easy is too easy and hard isn't what I thought. Kids learn their facts up to the 12's but the hard mode does 13. I do not like that. I like the missing factor in hard mode but again I prefer to only go to multiples of 12. I think it would also be better with an easy, medium, hard choice and/or let the child select a specific multiple or a range: 0-5, 6-9, etc. Over all it's an okay app. If it had some changes it would be great!Rpevans
Math
When I downloaded it I thought it wasn't going to be fun. Then I played it and it is really fun.Davidjl1
Terrific app for math drills!
My 4-year-old loves it, as does the kindergartner I tutor at a local elementary school. Very well done. Thanks!!!ndawg123
Bitter sweet
This can be a good app for math if it only worked properly. You people really need to fix this because there are teachers in my daughters school who were using this app in their classroom rooms as lessons for the children who needed extra help in math and now they have had to switch over to another app!!! I hope you are working in this because it has been over a week and still nothing. I don't think you realize how much this app is valuable to children. FIx IT please!Sweetn6469
Fun for kids
Fun game for your kids to learn. Locked up during transition to alternate scene. Still would recommend.Jajasast
Super cute!
I love this app! Perfect for kids. Great art and animation, and it works really well. I would love to see more educational apps for kids of this caliber.wedgekase
App doesn't work
So I was just looking for a math program about 5 minutes ago and ran across this one. $.99, I jumped on it only to find out it doesn't start. All I get is a blue screen, and no math. Glad its only a buck. They should change the screen shots to the frozen screen.cozy1
Does not start
Tried the free version and that did not start. Then bought this version and it does not start either!KaleaM
