### 5/5 — Math doodles best app

*2013-01-11, version 1.0.2*

The search stops here. This is absolutely the best math app I have ever had the pleasure of testing. I only wish I had found it long before spending money on various other apps. Of the sixty four math apps I have tested and researched so far Math Doodled wins hands down. I will be installing it on every iPad across our campus.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2012-10-16*

I love this APP....for me!  My son likes it, but i like it more!  It's beautifully designed, fun, and very well done.

### 5/5 — The kind of app that makes you glad you bought an iPad

*2012-10-09, version 1.0.2*

A beautifully designed, highly original app with three great games/activities/puzzles to make you warm inside. Love it.

### 5/5 — Math Doodles engages kids

*2012-08-26*

This app is engaging and diverse. The ability to change the graphical representation for the numeric values in the games gives it much greater value as a learning tool. Kids will have fun challenging themselves with more complicated translations of the equations by changing out the symbols. 
It would be nice to scale it down to the iPod screen as well.

### 5/5 — awesome!

*2012-06-28, version 1.0.1*

I'm almost wishing school wasn't out for the summer! My students will love this. Can't wait to see the next phase.

### 5/5 — Finally!

*2012-06-20, version 1.0.1*

Just what I was looking for! A app really fun and instructive. Not just flash cards!!! My first-grader loves it and I can play too with another level. Illustrations are really nice and colorfull. One can choose the items to add. I think an app like this one could even make a child with learning difficulties start to love maths....

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER

*2012-06-15*

Awesome game for any age! Connect the sums is one of my favorite games on this app!

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2012-06-14*

Fantastic. Great practice for basic number skills and fun to play.

### 5/5 — Amazing and so FUN

*2012-06-05*

I am a math tutor and my students adore this app. Finally one that is challenging and interesting every time.  Can't wait to see what other great apps come from this developer.

### 5/5 — Clever App

*2012-06-03*

My middle school students love this app for practicing math and building their number sense at the same time.  It's got a fun design, too.

### 5/5 — Remarkable!

*2012-06-01*

What a beautiful app! It's clear that a lot of effort went into creating this one. It's great to have an app that requires some mental math and critical thinking. I love that there are so many visual representations from which to choose. (I was happy with numbers, dice, and fingers - the braille, roman numerals, and multiple languages blew my mind! This is absolutely an app that will hold my kids' interest for a long time. I'm looking forward to more from this designer!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2012-05-27*

Another great app. Love the higher level math thinking. However, have to say I am disappointed in no discount for people that already have sum stacker. So I just bought it again.

### 5/5 — FUN, SMART AND BEAUTIFUL

*2012-05-26*

This is a math app with a great human touch. In addition to the wonderful games, check out those amazing backgrounds. This is math to explore and inspire. Bravo!

### 5/5 — Absolutely Wonderful!

*2012-05-25*

Wonderful concept; wonderful design; and overall wonderful execution! This is one of the best educational apps which, because of its great design, keeps my children engaged. They're actually having FUN doing math. I would highly recommend this to anyone. (I hope I didn't sound like a commercial, but I'm very excited about this app and cannot say enough good things about it. I'm not in any way associated with the developer. I'm just a happy customer.)

### 5/5 — Beautiful, fun and engaging!

*2012-05-25*

I love this app. It's a wonderful way to learn the concepts of math, without quizzing or simply answering math problems. It includes 3 separate games (with another to be included soon), and you can race against the clock or just take your time to solve challenges in puzzle mode in each. I think it is ideal for class use, or for kids playing at home. AND… it's the only math game I've seen that includes over 20 different types of numbers: dice, tally marks, arabic, Chinese, binary, ten-frames… you name it. I think it is a must have for a classroom set of iPads, and it's a beautiful example of what math games should be.

### 4/5 — Great app, my kids love it, but..

*2012-07-27*

Please make retina display support, it looks pixelated on iPad 3

### 5/5 — Oodles of Fun

*2016-04-20*

This app has 4 games. These games have many, many customizable features to increase the level of challenge. The games are cleverly designed. The options add a variety of challenging and whimsical features to gampelay. The kindergarteners in my class could do the lower levels of the games. I see how the options would allow for older children to play these games. Some levels would be fun and amusing for high school children and adults. The artwork for the app is cool, too. The games are great, but what really makes this app fantastic are all of the different ways you can play the game by choosing different items/symbols to use as alternative to numerals.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2015-01-07*

One of my favorites apps for learning; it's fun for kids.

### 5/5 — Love it , it helps

*2014-11-16*

I came upon this app trying to help myself in math . It really is awesome. I absolutely luv the intro, if you like doodling in math  and his app will understand you .

### 5/5 — Math Doodles is great

*2014-08-27*

We’ve loved playing Math Doodles, Sum Stacker, and Symmetry Shuffle since we got our first iDevice. The hand-drawn graphics are so much fun, and the concept is so unique and challenging. Highly recommended for your app library! We recently came back to Math Doodles with my younger daughter who has been more resistant to math games. She was entranced! She said that she could play it all day, everyday! So, something about the visual presentation of the math equations really spoke to her way of learning and comprehending the content. Thanks for continuing to update and develop this excellent app!

### 5/5 — Gorgeous and mathematically visual!

*2013-12-03*

I'm a fourth grade teacher, and I can't tell you how awesome this is for visually seeing the operations and processes for addition in numbers, but with hours, minutes, angles, and much more. The graphics are simple and cool, with rich and engaging colors. I love this app!

### 5/5 — Love it, love it, love it!

*2013-11-26*

We moved schools and needed an engaging way to help my child catch up with students in her new class.  You can choose difficulty along with symbols used to suit your child.  It's creative, fun and best of all, my child loves it.  We play together and fight over who gets to answer.  She is in second grade and aware of anything that is too babyish.  It's bright and entertaining for children without being too childish.  It also covers content for older children, and some content, I even find challenging.  Very flexible app!  Hands down one of the best apps I have ever downloaded.  Love it, love it, love it.  Worth every penny and more!

### 5/5 — Great math practice game

*2013-10-31*

This game is fun and kids really enjoy practicing their math with it. There are lots of different options to make it entertaining for everyone.

### 5/5 — Nice job!

*2013-08-08*

Beautifully done, and a lot of fun to play around with. The games are fairly simple, but part of the fun is that you can change counting languages and do math in Chinese, hash marks, fractions, Hebrew, binary . . . And swatting flies is a lot of fun, too. My kid just spent 40 minutes playing around with it, voluntarily. Great for people who like to figure things out on their own, and kids who are sick to death of math drill apps. Creative thinking I'd encouraged, and there are often several "correct" answers. Excellent app.

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2013-05-16, version 1.0.3*

This is a beautifully designed app which has staggeringly good educational value. I'm using this with my son (and it has really changed his maths understanding) but as an ex teacher, I can say that I wish I'd had access to stuff like this in the classroom. Top notch app. (Note added after update).... I really love the new shiny version of splat-go-round. Great new features. Am very pleased to see another sketch version of a new game.

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2013-05-04*

I love this app. My friend and I are teachers and enjoyed playing this. Can't wait to show our students. 
Having the different number representations challenge the brain a bit especially the the fractions.
