Then when I get back in I need to start a new game. It's annoying even though it's addictive. ### 3/5 — A *2015-01-16, version 2.1* I didn't help much ### 4/5 — Very unique *2014-02-15, version 2.0* Good educational game for my child to practice math while playing. I like that it has different levels of difficulties. ### 4/5 — Great for all ages *2013-12-20, version 1.8* I love this app for my fifth graders, older students, and myself! My only major complaint is that the settings are such that I can't listen to music while playing this game. A wish for the future is to be able to see a record of the attempted combinations that failed. ### 5/5 — 5th grade teacher *2013-05-18, version 1.6* My students love this app. They have contests with each other and I project some on my Smart Board for the class to solve together. The reasoning and justification of decisions is a great exercise for students. It makes them think. ### 5/5 — So good and it's FREE!! A teacher's dream!! *2013-02-15, version 1.4* I think this is a terrific app. It is a classic math game that people ages 6-66 can play for fun. The addition of pairing your app in bluetooth mode to play against an opponent in the room is a great new update. The app lets you use functions such as parenthesis and exponents which many math apps don't have. I would love to see more from this developer in the future. Teachers that I know, love this game! ### 4/5 — Educational Math App *2013-02-15, version 1.4* A few things I like about the app as a teacher is that you can send progress reports can, it is able to be used with multiple players so it can be an educational “game” that is appropriate in the classroom setting. I like the white board feature as well. The app does encourage students to use higher-order thinking. I like how it gives that answer but not the equation; kids solve the target number by working backward. I like that you are able to make multiple user profiles which is great for teaching. I see over eighty students and this app would be helpful for an educator a similar position. What I love is when using this app with middle school students it promotes that players use multi-step problem solving skills in order to get the desired result. It also engages and intrigues children to keep trying until they get the right answer. This is something that I feel is important because children get bored of using apps very easily. I think the app is good to help learn order of operations and promote higher order thinking in an app. ### 5/5 — Great middle-high school math app *2013-02-13, version 1.4* It is very difficult to find quality apps that will work on middle-high school math skills. I believe this app does a great job. I really like that they are not just building an order of operations problem but that user is asked to design the problem to have a targeted outcome. I found the whiteboard space a helpful addition. This app is great for classrooms as you can create profiles and have the results emailed to the teacher. ### 5/5 — Outstanding math app *2013-02-12, version 1.3* Five Dice is not your father's math review activity. By approaching the exercise from a new perspective (building a formula to match a given solution) and by incorporating students' love of competition and interactive gaming, this app helps students learn higher-order thinking skills without seeming to do so. Genius and sure to be effective! ### 4/5 — Great Math App *2013-02-10, version 1.3* As a 4th grade teacher I really like this app. It's great to use for practicing order of operations in math workshop/centers/stations. Students can practice by themselves or through a Bluetooth connection they can play with a partner on another device. Students can email their results to the teacher for the accountability piece that is necessary when students are working independently. This is also great for 3rd & 4th graders to practice their number sense by using the addition/subtraction level. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2013-02-09, version 1.3* This is a great app for students to work on their higher order thinking skills. There is a bluetooth option to play against a friend, sibling, parent, or classmate. There are printable activity sheets for carryover at home or in the classroom. There is also progress/data tracking through email to the teacher or parent. This is a very well thought out app! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Adds annoying! *2021-08-25, version 2.2* This was a nice activity to share with my class, but the adds are not kid appropriate and are too much of a distraction! ### 1/5 — Cancel ads button is useless *2018-10-13, version 2.2* If you want paid for the app just say so and give me a chance to pay for the app or get rid of the ads. The game was awesome until you added ads. To use this app with my class is a waste of time. Kids no longer want to play the game because the ads are ridiculously long. Get the cancel ads app working to save your game. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2018-08-23, version 2.2* Constantly freezes and has a frustrating ad every play. The ads are long and cant be skipped! ### 1/5 — No instructions or guidance. *2016-10-09, version 2.1* How can I uninstall this app? This is a horrible app. There is no guidance or help. For someone who wants to learn algebra, this is not a good app. ### 1/5 — App *2015-09-03, version 2.1* Won't let you pick an avatar. Plus it's frustrating ### 1/5 — Hi *2015-01-08, version 2.1* Gar ### 1/5 — Hate it! *2013-10-14, version 1.8* I hate it! It lowers your self esteem! Please, do not get it! ### 1/5 — Help *2013-07-13, version 1.7* I can not get from the chalkboard back to the problem page. The home button is not there or any other buttons. I have tried everything. Used to be able to, not sure if it is a bug or new update that messed it up. Please help, this is a great educational app. ### 1/5 — SOOOO boring *2013-02-22, version 1.4* The app is really great but very boring ### 1/5 — Potential but I've had problems *2012-11-14, version 1.0* I have tried multiple times to send feedback on a problem I had on the developers website but each time the form did not work. I think this game has great potential but 2 out of the 3 problems I tried gave me an incorrect answer. I checked my answer with a scientific calculator but the app told me I had the wrong solution. When I checked the progress report it shows I only attempted one problem. I hope there is an update to fix this issue. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun game *2016-01-20, version 2.1* Pretty fun ### 5/5 — Very fun *2015-05-22, version 2.1* Me and my friends love to pla this game.

There are a variety of things you can do in the app, like multiplication and division shooting, that would challenge older people, and addition and subtraction for math beginners. Overall a fun app that you will love if you buy it. ### 5/5 — Lovely *2014-02-14, version 2.0* Love thatttt!!! ### 5/5 — Great math educational game *2014-02-07, version 2.0* This is a great game to sharpen you math skills and speed while competing wi friends.

Extremely fun in multiplayer mode. ### 5/5 — Interesting tool for my kids *2014-02-07, version 2.0* I will have them try it out and I think it will help with their math. ### 5/5 — cool! *2014-01-19, version 2.0* i can't help writing an enormous compliment to this app! all my students love playing this game. it's profoundly beneficial to me and the students as we now have a new and very fascinating game for extra activity in class. thanks for a great a game ever! it seems to be the most educational game i have found in the iPad.
