Not a fan of all the timed questions
My daughter is not a fan of all the timed questions. Seems like most questions are formatted where you have to quickly answer the question before time runs out.
Fun math app
I recently downloaded this app because I was looking for something to keep my kid engaged in doing some math during summer. I like the app provides different fun math activities and limit length of time to be no more than 5 minutes a day.
The app doesn’t recognize the user next day
I like the concept of this app. However, each day my daughter logs in the app gives her a message welcoming her to the app and giving her points for using the app for the first time. The points don’t accumulate day to day—it starts over every day. It’s annoying to my kids as they want the app to track their progress.

It doesn’t work with ipad.
The screen got cut and cannot scroll down.
The activity doesn’t fit on iPad
Some of the activities don’t display completely on an iPad like the matching
Fix sizing on iPad
These are great activities, but the card matching activity does not fit on the iPad screen. It confuses my child.
Just what I’ve been looking for for my kids!
I’ve been searching for some new online math options for my kids, but I fear that so many of the fast paced, loud music, “game” like options are only increasing their screen time, lessening their patience, and not doing much to help them academically. Not this app!
Highlights:
1) There’s a sense of urgency to get the answers right, but not in a way that makes kids anxious. My 3rd grader completely shuts down when he feels like he’s losing. This app kept him wanting to win, even though he didn’t get every question right on the first try.
2) The graphics are engaging, but not overwhelming. I fear the constant movement and fast paced videos and games kids seem to constantly be on will only have negative impacts on their development. This app kept his attention without making him fidget. Bravo!
3) The app changes! You answer one question in the bakery and then look for a match on a different screen. It’s like a built in break!
4) It really only took 4 minutes! In that 4 minutes my son practiced word problems, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, place value...I could go on and on. Then the app congratulated him and told him to come back tomorrow. Even the most reluctant math kiddos can enjoy 4 minutes is math.
Overall, I’m very pleased with this app. I will certainly work this one into our daily routine. Four minutes is purposeful screen time? That’s a parent win!
