### 5/5 — BRILLIANT!

*2012-11-15, version 1.0*

What a fab app! Downloaded this 5 days ago and only just got my phone back from my 5 yr old who loves it. Started the usual " get off Minecraft " speech to be told " haven't played that for days, I'm on the number game" 
I too on occasions have managed 5 stars which is even more amazing!

### 5/5 — Maths can be fun after all!

*2012-11-13, version 1.0*

Well presented and user friendly app
Perfect for my 7 and 11 year old girls
Aimed at the primary key stage 1 and 2 levels
Highly addictive for adults too!
My chubby fingers found the number keys a little difficult to hit accurately at times but I still managed 5 stars!
Maybe I should leave it to the kids
Number bonds to one or two decimal points could be a future update
Overall a fantastic app - ideal for encouraging enthusiasm in maths in primary school children
