Most of the time the solution is NxN+N+N+N or something else very repetitive. Ya got to mix it up! Make it, you know, EXTREEEEEEME! ### 3/5 — Conundra Math *2021-09-14, version 2.0* I have to say I really enjoy this game BUT I paid for all levels to be available. I just assumed there would be the same amount of levels to play both on my iPhone and iPad, since the game is on both devices. I have been writing the app developer for the last five years. I have yet to receive an answer. I noticed that the most current review is dated November and I figure that is November, 2020. All other reviews are between 7 or 8 years old. Mine will be the most current review. Needless to say, Ms. Pierce isn’t into customer service. So I guess I’ll just have to play the game with different levels on iPhone and iPad. Seriously, though, I don’t want the game to be removed from the App Store. ### 4/5 — Jan *2021-06-26, version 2.0* I do daily. I'm fairly good at the expert but the extreme not so much - usually 2 or 3 out of 5. ☹️ ### 4/5 — Challenge, *2021-02-13, version 2.0* Un très bon défi pour le mentale. Une amélioration serait une moyenne du temps requis pour réussir chaque niveau. Merci! ### 5/5 — Conundra math *2020-11-21, version 2.0* I am 85 years old and think this is a wonderful way to keep your mind sharp. Marty Logan ### 5/5 — Absolute delight *2020-04-02, version 2.0* Its crazy stuff, l am enjoying every bit. ### 5/5 — I loved it *2019-06-28, version 2.0* Now I know my maths really well I would really recommend this game if want to learn your maths ### 2/5 — Math is a misnomer *2018-12-17, version 2.0* This isn’t maths, doesn’t apply mathmatics rules and needs to have brackets for the purist ### 5/5 — Excellent mind sharper *2018-11-11, version 2.0* It’s fast, extremely accessible brain training. Love it. ### 5/5 — This a well structured maths test, well worthy of *2018-08-22, version 2.0* A once-a-day(min.) brain boost. ### 2/5 — Order of operations not sufficient *2018-04-29, version 2.0* Unfortunately, even if you know the answer, the order of operations prevents you from correctly entering some equations. Quite limiting, frustrating and generally would not please many math teachers. Parentheses are essential in mathematical equations, and there is no better way to illustrate that than with this “game.” ### 5/5 — Tough *2018-03-16, version 2.0* Humbling ### 5/5 — Maths app *2018-01-16, version 2.0* Works well, nice and simple good job ### 5/5 — Very useful *2017-07-13, version 2.0* Very useful ### 5/5 — Awesome Game! *2017-05-27, version 2.0* I've been playing this for years. Now I've got my 7 year old playing it 😀 ### 5/5 — Perfect *2017-03-26, version 2.0* Perfect for keeping the old grey matter sharp! ### 5/5 — Fun math *2017-01-16, version 2.0* C'est la version du TV show des chiffres et des lettres version chiffres uniquement ( ou presque) bon petit jeu. ### 3/5 — Timer Removal *2017-01-12, version 2.0* I love numbers, so this is a fun young for me. The only problem that I have is that sometimes I'm having a rough day with my thought process and would like to do The puzzles without a timer running out on me. Is there any way of changing this? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Super bad don’t recommend *2026-01-07, version 2.0* Worst math app ever the pass button is in the worst place. I bumped it in my score. Got knocked out to the 81st percentile I am absolutely mad.! ### 1/5 — Needs the use of parenthesis *2018-08-18, version 2.0* The only frustrating thing is that many times I can mentally calculate the answer but can't figure out how to put it in an order that this stupid game will accept. Until brackets can be used, this game deserves 1 star at best. Also, use the current keyboard interface that Apple implemented after iOS 11. Having the old one is rather annoying, and hard to get used to, because of the spacing of the letters. ### 1/5 — Number conundrum *2016-07-11, version 2.0* Math is not my best subject. I was hoping to improve my skills. I don't find this helpful. How do I put in brackets? It doesn't mention that anywhere. The countdown score is so large that it's off-putting, and the answer doesn't stay long enough for me to be able to think about where I went wrong. 1/10 ### 1/5 — Awful update ruins game *2016-02-20, version 2.0* I have been playing this game daily for years. It is fun and quick. I would have given it five stars because it did what it is supposed to do well. Now, when you get a correct answer it flashes "Correct!" at the top of the screen for a few seconds and slows the flow. On a less important note, you lose your game history, and the interface is slightly uglier. Whoever did this, PLEASE put it back. ### 1/5 — Needs improvement- no fun here *2015-06-20, version 1.1* Not being able to clear your stats is ridiculous. So many things can keep you from finishing a game.. And ruin your stats record....Door bell, phone, or another person playing on your device. Once a session is recorded that's it. How about at least a pause button, if a reset of stats is too difficult for you to implement. ### 1/5 — Does not obey the math rules *2015-03-09, version 1.1* I've downloaded the app thinking a great math app, that help me calculate faster. But this app doesn't even follow the basic rules of math. I just can't play a so called "math app", that doesn't follow the basic math rules. ### 1/5 — Laws of maths do not apply! *2015-01-11, version 1.1* This game does not calculate the answers according to proper maths laws of operation i.e multiplication and division first addition and subtraction second. It calculates in whatever order you place it in meaning that not only are a lot of the answers incorrect but it teaches bad mathematic technique. Don't waste your time! ### 1/5 — Conundra Math *2015-01-04, version 1.1* My rating is NO STARS!!! The website would not allow me to send it without pressing at least one star. This app should NOT be left as it is. Since it does not follow the rule for Order of Operations, it will lead children on the wrong path of learning for the long run. I am sure there is a way it could be made over to include the correct order of operations. Please revise it or eliminate it completely. I am a MATH teacher! ### 1/5 — PEMDAS *2014-04-27, version 1.1* As an educator it is very upsetting to see the Order of Operations being totally ignored! A few parenthesis would take care of the problem, and reinforce a very important rule! Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction ### 1/5 — Wouldn't even rate it 1 star *2014-03-30, version 1.1* It's awful cause the ones you don't get and you pass at the end they show u the "correct method" but it's wrong even check a calculator!!!!! Just about to delete the app now!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Math Game *2026-07-31, version 2.0* It’s a little bit like math 24 but the higher levels are more challenging than math 24 and somehow more fun. ### 5/5 — Great app!!! *2026-01-13, version 2.0* Quick game to keep my brain sharp!!! ### 5/5 — Daily workout *2025-07-25, version 2.0* I have worked on these maths games for a few years now, and I’m really happy to get 5/5 most times! 😁 ### 5/5 — All Ages *2025-05-27, version 2.0* Great for all Ages. I use it to teach my grandchildren math. For myself it keeps my mind active. Various levels of learning. Choose a level that suits you. ### 5/5 — Conundra Math *2025-03-20, version 2.0* I recommend Conundra Math for everyone. It really makes you think. It’s a great game and a great learning tool. ### 5/5 — Upon awakening *2024-07-06, version 2.0* I use this as a part of my morning routine. Good way to get the brain going. ### 5/5 — Very addictive *2023-01-05, version 2.0* I love this game and find it very addictive. I know it doesn’t use the usual rules applied in Maths but the instructions make that quite clear. It is great fun and challenging. I think it really helps to keep my brain buzzing! ### 5/5 — Great for a bit of brain exercise *2022-10-23, version 2.0* I'm just using the free version, so no access to the more difficult levels. Even so the highest available level is fun to use and great for developing mental arithmetic. ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-03-31, version 2.0* Played a thousand times and still love it. A great daily challenge, one where I’ve improved over time, so confident it helps my aging mind. App provides performance tracking but for an extra challenge/ difficulty use total time, with a goal of solving under 30 seconds ### 5/5 — Surprisingly addictive! *2021-11-18, version 2.0* When I’m tired instead of scrolling through things in the Internet I enjoy doing this much to my surprise. I’d thoroughly recommend it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
