Top reviews

Just one change!

I hope the makers of this game read reviews! I’m a math aid at an elementary school and I use this to help my students get their multiplication facts down really good! My only complaint is that you can only do 10 cards at a time and that you have to start over with how many digits you want to include..every single time you play! I’d like the option to do up to 30+ and have your settings stay the same! That way, if I’m timing them on their 6’s, 7’s and 8’s, they could get 10 from each group for their practice!

Hi - Thanks for the feedback! You should be able to use more than 10 cards at a time if you select more Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, or Division sets. For example, if you select all of the 1's, 2's, 3's for multiplication, that will produce 30 cards (10 from each set of 1’s, 2’s, 3’s, etc).

The numbers don’t show up when inputting answers

When typing the answers, they aren’t visible. Please fix. I’d also love the ability to manually take out certain math problems.

Hi - There appears to be a bug in some versions of iOS. I believe that it is fixed now. Please let me know if you still see it! Pat

We used this app a ton all year and now after Christmas break it is different. We used it for my 2nd grader. She used it with 10 cards and it plus before Christmas break and each week they did a number so like 1 they did everything 1+ 1 and so on. Now they are working on subtraction but I can’t seem to get 10 cards to do a timed test with just doing subtracting by a certain number like 1. Please help as this app worked well for my daughter.

Hi - Thanks for the feedback. I believe I have a way to make this work. I'll try to get it into a future release =).

Simple and excellent

It’s a great little tool for practicing critical basic math skills.
Because it’s on an iPad/iPhone my kids think it’s cool. I think they are improving their core skills...

4 stars as there is room for improvement in some areas

-the box for answers indicates if it is one two or three digits based on its width

- in the future, being able to recognize spoken answers would be super cool (speed test)

- an ability to focus on certain skills, like having subtraction crossing the 10 barrier. (11-4 does, 15-4 does not)

Excellent educational resource

These are good suggestions. I will consider how they could be incorporated without complicating the configuration too much.

Perfect Math Facts app!!

This app is perfectly simple! It is easy to use, has a nice, clean interface, and has really helped my children work on their math facts!

And thanks to the developer for updating the app for iOS 11!!

Thank you for the feedback!

Excellent app!!

I love this app for my first grader.

Great

This is exactly what I was looking for, but will you please go up to 20 for the subtraction problems instead of stopping at 16? I'd highly appreciate this update! Thanks for keeping off ads and other distracting stuff.

We love this app!

Finally the math app I've been looking for! Clean and simple design. No ads. I can tailor these for my 9, 6 or 4 year old. This app is perfect for reinforcing math facts without the distractions. Thank you so much!!

simple yet flexible

wonderfully straightforward and practical. i downloaded several different apps for my third grader to practice multiplication facts, and this is the only one that is what i'm looking for! clean modern design, no ads/distractions, flexible by allowing you to choose which facts to work on, and the child types in the answer so they have to actually practice before proceeding and it tracks progress, times, and levels. thank you!
