### 4/5 — Really entertaining

*2025-11-01, version 1.5.1*

It’s a great game, so simple but brilliant. 
However, it has ads between every few levels and absolutely no way to disable them, and a behaviour I absolutely do not support. 
I’d be happy to pay to disable adverts.

### 4/5 — 100% LOVE IT, BUT…

*2025-10-27, version 1.5.1*

The game is 10/10, simple and unique but achievements bugged, and its weird cuz game logging in to game center. Cmon kurtiswow fix it, people are struggling with this thru years. Where r u?

### 4/5 — Game Center achievements are not working

*2025-04-29, version 1.5.1*

The achievement is not earned despite completing the requirements.

### 4/5 — Super unique

*2025-04-03, version 1.5.1*

Super unique game with loads of cool ideas and only downside is there only 199 levels

### 4/5 — Bug

*2025-03-31, version 1.5.1*

On level 48 do -3 5 5 5 *4 and the text goes below

### 3/5 — Far too many ads

*2025-03-29, version 1.5.1*

Game is great but ads are far too frequent

### 5/5 — Helps me sooo much !

*2024-07-10, version 1.5.1*

I love this game as I am having my 11+ test In September and it really helps with my maths skills

### 4/5 — Lieblingsspiel, aber…

*2024-06-19, version 1.5.1*

Mein absolutes Lieblingsspiel!!! Doch leider auf deutsch nicht immer gut spielbar. Bei neuen Knöpfen werden alle Knöpfe gleich angezeigt☹️… so sind Level wie 169 dann gar nicht mehr so spaßig, da alle Knöpfe gleich aussehen 😅 wenn das behoben wird gibt es die 5 Sterne, die es eigentlich verdient hätte!!! Please fix the bug where every button is orange and is labeled “

Here is your daily hint!
“
thaaaank you!

### 5/5 — This game is amazing

*2024-04-02, version 1.5.1*

The game is a fun and addictive game where it challenges your math skills. Download today

### 5/5 — This is a very challenging game! Loved it!

*2024-03-27, version 1.5.1*

It boosts your ability to get results and helps you to focus on the possible steps to get the expected result.

### 2/5 — Don’t Get This Game If You’re An Achievement Hunter

*2024-03-15, version 1.5.1*

This game is all well and good on its own, but it has its own achievements. First off, it doesn’t advertise that you have sign into Game Center through the Settings button before level 5 or you won’t get the achievement. Second off, I tried getting the level 5 achievement several times, deleting and redownloading the game every time, only to not get it because of an ad popup. I’m an achievement hunter and when I can’t get 5 easy achievements because of ads, not only does it bug me, it pisses me off. The game itself is fun and deceptively simple, but don’t put achievements in the game if you’re going to block people from getting them by putting ads in the achievement milestones.

### 5/5 — Pretty tricky but amazing

*2024-03-08, version 1.5.1*

Level 99 needs decimals lol
There is 1 level that I can complete it with 1 step left LOL
Still good btw. 5 stars

### 5/5 — 好玩

*2024-02-25, version 1.5.1*

很好玩 可以動腦的小遊戲
不過加總鍵跟鏡面鍵都只出現框框 每次都要先點一次才知道是什麼按鍵 希望可以改善

### 5/5 — Is level 14 possible?

*2024-02-24, version 1.5.1*

Just add 5 then x5 x3, back, then x3

### 4/5 — Epic

*2024-02-21, version 1.5.1*

I’m not complaining that it is hard, but it is a funny concept and the story is really interesting too.

### 5/5 — 很棒的遊戲

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No way to remove intrusive ads

*2026-07-03, version 1.5.1*

Would have happily paid a few dollars but have now uninstalled.

### 1/5 — 155

*2025-05-02, version 1.5.1*

155關題目錯了

### 1/5 — Ad frequency ridiculous

*2024-03-01, version 1.5.1*

It seemed like a game I’d love, but we’ll never know, because the ads come way too frequently before you’re even finished the training levels. Let people at least learn the game and play a few rounds before expecting them to make the decision whether to purchase or not.

Uninstalled.

### 1/5 — Crashy

*2023-03-17, version 1.5.1*

It's a cute game, but every time I open it on my iPad it crashes immediately

### 1/5 — Müll

*2022-12-13, version 1.5.1*

Richtiger schisssss

### 1/5 — 中文亂碼

*2022-05-13, version 1.5.1*

希望可以改語言

### 1/5 — Боты

*2022-01-10, version 1.5.1*

Го 1 на 1 на кольтах или слиты

### 1/5 — Order of operations

*2021-05-04, version 1.5.1*

As a parent, I find the fact that the game does not respect order of operations, which stated that we should perform multiplication or division before addition or subtraction, very alarming. This could be a problem for kids who are learning elementary arithmetic.

### 1/5 — Реклама вернулась

*2021-03-26, version 1.5.1*

Игра хорошая, раньше была кнопка «отключить рекламу», купил эту возможность. Но в какой-то момент разработчик поросло убрал эту опцию и напихал в игру ещё больше рекламы. Хамское и мерзкое отношение к пользователям. -4 звёзды вам за это.

### 1/5 — вылетает

*2020-11-27, version 1.5.1*

вылетает после обновления сразу при запуске. iphone x, ios 14.2

### 5/5 — I was left speechless

*2025-10-10, version 1.5.1*

I had an idea for a game to make about a calculator so i searched to see if the name was taken and i found this. Personally, I love math but this is next level. Only thing is i can’t get achievements. Still amazing.

### 5/5 — Brain scratch

*2025-09-03, version 1.5.1*

This game scratches my soggy wet brain in the right spot.

### 5/5 — Jogo incrível!

Simplesmente perfeito, passo horas e horas sem perceber o tempo passar! Maravilhoso.

### 5/5 — Calculator: The game is the best!

*2025-01-11, version 1.5.1*

Calculator the game is the best because it has lots of fun and challenging levels and you can even chat with the calculator I totally recommend it.

### 5/5 — Ads adds up the problems

*2024-11-21, version 1.5.1*

Really good game that trained my mental math- 

but please, reduce the number of ads as they are kinda kicking away the fun- 

make it such there there will only be one ad after playing for 10 minutes, 

and a single 30-second ad instead of double 30 ads when you are getting a hint.

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-09-06, version 1.5.1*

Great

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-08-25, version 1.5.1*
