Very misleading
Does not “teach” multiplication or division… it just throws numbers at you that your supposed to know if they are divisible or not by the number shown.. not appropriate or helpful for 3rd graders struggling to learn multiplication.
Un jeu éducatif divertissant
Factor Samurai est un jeu similaire à fruit ninja, le but est de couper des nombres qui sont factorisables et de ne pas trancher les nombres premiers afin d’avoir le plus haut score possible; le jeu est simple, intuitif et technique, surtout en mode maître, qui est vraiment challengeant. Je trouve intéressant le fait que, contrairement à fruit ninja, on ait des chances, ce qui rend le jeu moins punitif, puisque des fois, sous la panique, il peut arriver de toucher un nombre premier accidentellement. Je trouve aussi intéressant que l’on ait à trancher des nombres plusieurs fois ( par exemple 12 ce divisera en 4 et en 3, il faudra retrancher le 4 afin d’arriver à tous les nombres premiers). On regrettera des bugs, tels que des crashs ou encore le fait que, en mode maître le bouton rejouer ramène au niveau intermédiaire. Je n’ai également toujours pas compris à quoi servais le sabre doré. FactorSamurai excelle tout de même dans son objectif d’être un jeu éducatif amusant (ce qui est plutôt rare dans le milieu)

Can't mute sound in game
Other than that addictive!
1 change for 5 stars
This app is amazing. So many apps are just flash cards with a theme but this is different. Kids also get familiar with recognizing prime numbers quickly and just how composite some numbers are.
I REALLY wish I could increase the size of the numbers to 100 and beyond though. I would pay to upgrade even!

Great way to have fun learning math
I experienced a couple glitches, but love the game otherwise.
Fun app for kids or adults to learn and remember Prime numbers together with some math skills.
Fun game teaches Prime numbers, division and multiplication while being challenging and entertaining. Draws you in and keeps you coming back for more trying to beat your score.
Fantastically Fun and Deceptively Educational
This app has Samurais in it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once my child tried it, that's when the magic happened. It’s addicting and fun to play, and feels more like a video game than a math lesson. The artwork is also appealing, the music adds to the intensity with incredibly satisfying swiping sounds (ah the splat of a divisible number), and I liked being able to get new swords and faster number tosses as we progressed in the game. A great way for children to learn, or for an adult to dust up on, some fundamental math skills. Thank you, Factor Samurai, my child and I are now Times Table geniuses!

Fun and simple game
To be honest I haven't done math since I finished school, so my friend recommended this app as a fun way to "refresh number memories". I've been playing it frequently since. The game is easy to understand, quick to load, changes every round, and I don't feel shy playing it when I'm on on public transit :)

Everyday racism
It would be even better if it didn't use racial stereotypes as it's theme. This reinforces negative tropes. Too bad.

Great concept, well executed: this game is elegantly simple but challenging and addictive. It works well as math practice for kids, but adults looking on will itch to try it too. It doesn't get old (hasn't yet) because it keeps nudging you on with more and higher numbers. We would wish for multiple user profiles.
A font for the numbers in which six and nine are clearly different, even without the underline, might also be useful.
I'd love to give it five stars but there seem to be some issues with the app getting stuck when the Game Center icon on its menu page is selected.

Fun and addictive
The gameplay style is a lot like Fruit Ninja. The one downside is that when numbers fly up off the screen and then return, it's too easy to accidentally hit them when swiping a different number. I have to avoid the top I the screen in order to survive. Otherwise it's a good game and a great way to learn primes! Bonuses like Fruit Ninja has (new weapons and backgrounds) would make it more addictive.

Awesome but...
Every kid in my class has this app.I want to check game centre in game on my friends score but it won't work.Please fix then I give ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Brain Power Game
My kids love this game. It's very challenging and their learning and thinking quickly. For sure, an exercise for the brain.
Loved it immediately
Discovered this game at a game show and immediately loved it. My kids love it too. Good graphics. Easy to play. Keeps your brain working. A+!
School Teacher
No THINKING required in this game=no learning. Where is the part of the game where the student generates the factors? VERY disappointed!
Boring
BORING
Wonderful
I love this app. I am going to put it on all the iPads for my 6th grade class. The challenge is to see if my students can beat my score :)
Needs a pause button
It's a great game but needs a pause button.
Fun and educational
Great game. Addictive and makes you think. Game is not broken as a previous reviewer said. Points are deducted if you miss possible factors. If you miss more than you get, you end up with zero. Play an easier level so you can improve.
Educational game
Great game for moms to help kids with math during the summer. It's fun. I would recommend.
