### 4/5 — Zoom still doesn't work

*2017-07-01*

I updated my app on my phone and the zoom still disables the '6' on the screen.  

Any thoughts?

### 4/5 — Perfect

*2016-11-30, version 2.2*

I wish the button scheme was different

### 3/5 — Ejercitar la mente

*2016-09-01, version 2.2*

Buena aplicacion para ejercitar la mente

### 2/5 — IPhone 6 Plus error

*2015-06-10, version 2.2*

The number selections at the bottom do not work for iPhone 6 Plus the three and the six are superimposed as characters in the same place. The six can never be selected. This app needs more work.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2015-05-21, version 2.2*

Good app, easy to use, improved my child's multiplication skills.

### 3/5 — Ok app

*2015-03-22, version 2.1*

Intuitive easy to use controls. Good graphics. But when you get an answer right, it adds back time. No good way to end a level if you keep getting them right.

### 4/5 — Great

*2013-10-04, version 2.0*

It's great but some things in the pocket change things are a little high.

### 2/5 — Almost great...

*2013-09-27, version 2.0*

Would be perfect if it allowed some control over range of values. For example, even on easy mode it asks about the 13 tables. I would love to be able to at least pick up to 9s, up to 12, etc so my child could practice only her pertinent facts and I could time how many she could get correct in 5 min. (the metric they use in school)

### 4/5 — Very Cool

*2013-09-21, version 2.0*

What a great way to do flash cards!  Four stars because the rewards program they're linked up with is more for adults.

### 5/5 — Brilliant. 💖

*2013-09-08, version 1.90*

Great way to touch up on math skills!

### 5/5 — Not bad

*2013-09-02, version 1.90*

Good

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-08-30, version 1.90*

This is a great app that rewards you for doing good at the math.

### 5/5 — Good way to teach kids math

*2013-08-19, version 1.90*

Excellent way to teach basic math. Stop using fingers or reaching for the calculator to do basic math.

### 5/5 — Many thanks

*2013-08-05, version 1.81*

Thank you for this app. Keep up the good work.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — 6 is on 3 . Useless

*2016-11-29, version 2.2*

The 6 is on the 3 thus you can never select 6 ! Useless app.

### 1/5 — Needs fixing

*2016-07-09, version 2.2*

6 is superimposed on the 3. This makes the app useless, with the latest update. Before this update it was awesome. Now it does not work since can't get passed not being able to use the 6. This has been like this for awhile, please fix it, so it is usable.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2016-04-09, version 2.2*

6 and 3 are superimposed on 6S+.

### 1/5 — ArithmeTick

*2016-03-15, version 2.2*

It's ok I guess for kids that like math and learning

### 1/5 — Does not honor silent mode

*2013-09-29, version 2.0*

This app makes the big mistake to make all it's noises despite the phones silent switch. This is a
Major fail of following standards. Cannot be used in quiet environments, even if volume is turned all the way down.

### 1/5 — Why on a paid app advertising

*2013-09-25*

Disappointed this app now has advertising on. Please remove

### 1/5 — Bad

*2013-06-19, version 1.81*

Game Center pop-ups ruin it

### 1/5 — Used to be great-please fix

*2013-02-06, version 1.7.2*

This app was great for my kids to practice their math facts.  That lasted a week.  Now it crashes constantly.  Just shuts off.  Please fix this!!!

### 1/5 — BAD!!!!!!!!!!

*2013-01-05, version 1.7.2*

THIS IS THE WORST APP IN HISTORY!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2013-01-05, version 1.7.2*

The application is good and fun but it crashes in the middle of a game... It happened thrice within 5 minutes... So I gave up playing..

### 5/5 — Mental fog buster

*2025-08-21*

Great for mental health. This fun exercise is perfect for young and old too.  It wakes up your brain and sharpens your mind.  Practice 10 minutes daily and watch the mental fog disappear!

### 5/5 — Finally working

*2017-09-26*

There was some bug in previous version but it has been fixed and now works fantastically well 

Best app to practice Arithmetic.

### 5/5 — Makes Math Facts Fun

*2017-09-04*

My 9 year old hates flash cards but as soon as I had this digital version she had fun with it and started getting better immediately:).

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2017-05-20*

The best app I have come across for practising the four rules of number. 
Very well structured into sensible levels.
This gives almost all ability levels a chance to practice and excel in speed and accuracy!

### 5/5 — Love it! ...but i...

*2017-03-23*

would like to ask creators please put answers digits equally in same size first line 1 to 5 and second 6 to 0!!! 
Second request: if I didn't answer right let the answer disappear because when it getting harder it confusing to enter some extra digit just simply to let wrong answer disappear it takes some some seconds when you really need it at the end to improve your skills!!! In the end tanks for such a great math puzzle :))

### 5/5 — I really like it.

*2016-11-28, version 2.2*

It's fun and interesting.

### 5/5 — ArithmeTick

*2016-11-10, version 2.2*

This is good

### 5/5 — Absolutely mathtastic 👌

*2015-03-18*

I have bin searching for a math game that can be simple at times but also complex when you feel the need to tickle your brain and believe me it gets no better that this 🙏 yes you have several apps to choose from but what makes this the best in my opinion is that my kids can use it and so can I. You can select simple addition or multiplications oth division if you're a quick think. What I love is the timer allows you to solve problems at your own speed most apps are too slow or too fast great job guys🎉🎉

### 5/5 — Hi

*2014-05-08, version 2.1*

Awesome
2+2=this game is amazing

### 5/5 — Awesome Tool

*2013-09-09, version 1.90*

Not only is this an awesome tool for my child to help her learn her math for fourth grade but I find that it speeds my math processing up as well. Thanks and Good Job.
