Sweet and simple, hugely useful
This is one of the first apps I got years ago. It is a simple but powerful learning tool. My first child who used this is now in college. I just started using it with my 4 year old. I’m glad it is being kept up. The encouraging kids voices are adorable. This app brings a lot of smiles.
Screen orientation
I have this on my old ipad. I like how basic it is and fun for my kids. But now on my new ipad mini, I can't get it to switch between screen orientations. It's stuck in portrait, but I prefer landscape. Still goes back and forth on my old ipad one. This is annoying.
Cool
It took 5 seconds to load. It might be .99 cents, but it is TOTALLY worth it!!!!!!
We'll still use it, but...
I got this specifically for my autistic son, because it had a visual support (the little magic wand.) Then I was disappointed to find that it was only available in the first two levels of difficulty on addition only.
Ah, well. I'm sure his little brother, the math whiz, will use it to practice multiplication and division. A great way to practice.

Great
I love this game when i was 5 it was bedtime i didn't want to leave this game .Now i'm7 i still love it
Too Bad
In the screenshots it shows groups of items for addition and subtraction drills, but is not the case for division and multiplication drills. Too bad as it is not a very useful App for visual learners or for kids who need to understand the steps to the correct answer.
DO NOT expect visual cues for multiplication and division drills, as shown in the + and - screenshots.

Dissappointed
If it wouldn't keep crashing, it would be a great app but now It's pretty much useless. I deleted it as it was never updated/fixed.
Très bien
Une application de maths très ludique, vraiment bien pour les enfants.
Good enough for my kids
I have three kids in grades 6 and below. Math has always been a struggle in our family. My oldest one still has problems doing his multiplication. Even though the levels aren't timed, this can be used as a speed test. I do like the customization level and al around worth the $1 I paid for it.
Mom
I can only find where the game gives out girl stickers, what about the boys?
Some updates might make it better...
At first I really enjoyed this app, but after a thorough evaluation I found this app to basically just be electronic math flashcards. I was also not particularly fond of the multiple choice answering system because as a teacher it would be hard to know if students know their math facts or if they were just happening to guess correctly. I think if there was a way to tweak this app a little so it wasn’t just electronic flashcards with multiple choice answers; the app would be more beneficial.

Just fine
No real bells and whistles, so if you are looking for a game for your kids to play this is not it. But it is a very clean and easy app to practice the basics of + - x /
As for the other review about not having things on the screen to count, there's a magic wand on the side of the screen, just tap it for each screen and the "counters" will appear under the numbers. My four year old did some math today with the on screen counters.
I like the range of questions that I can specify. My kids will definitely be using this app to practice their arithmetic skills.

No items, only equations?
The picture in the store shows items to count with the addition equations. The current version doesn't have anything but the numerals. NO ITEMS to count. This makes the app useless for my daughter.
wont give me a blue one! But useful.
it won't give me a blue sticker which is very lame. I only use this app cause I have to but at least you can make it harder In the settings menu for this app. This is basically the same thing that I can do at school anyway. But it is useful I guess cause cause I have to do it and it works well but just not that much fun is the problem. But anyway,useful app.

Great App But Needs Bug Fix
This is a great app, especially when when kids are first learning their math facts. What is disappointing is that after one or two problems, the application closes down completely. We tried uninstalling it, and paid for it a second time. This did not resolve the problem.
Visual mismatch
I won't use this app with my students because on the subtraction problems there is a visual, and thus confusing, mismatch between the pictures and the mathematical concept they are supposed to be representing. For example, a problem like "9 - 6 = ?" shows 9 red apples under the number nine and then 6 green apples under the number six. I guess if you think of this as a comparison problem (how much more or less?), it works, but the kids I'm working with at this level are confused by these visuals that are there to supposedly help. I would rather see the correct number of apples "x-ed" out, or falling into a basket, or somehow being "taken away." As a teacher, I know the minus sign just doesn't mean "take away" but the developers need to think more like kids and find visuals that support, not confuse.

Number work on the go
FANTASTIC repetitive number work for on the go kids. You can select the level for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It is a bit like Kumon on the go. Great stickers and rewards to incentivise child to keep going on and not giving up. Really helped my 5 year old with multiplication. My favourite maths app.

Love it!
The app is absolutely fantastic! It features great rewards, and I love how you can change the difficulty level. Bravo!
Doesn't work
This game won't open so we haven't been able to play it. Would like a refund.
