I’m a young adult who seldom finds time for phone games, and usually prefers films to games in my free time, yet this app has proven to be one of the most well-rounded, free to play, simple (to the point, see what ya get), yet engaging and challenging ways to pass whatever amount of free time I may have to spare, set whether 5 minutes or 2 hours. It’s multiple modes and varying difficulties make it entertaining and stimulating, at any level of difficulty someone prefers to start at. Since I rarely use math otherwise in my daily routine, it helps my brain feel sharper and it feels far more productive than lots of other content I could otherwise consume. As my synopsis states, my only complaint preventing me from voting a full 5 stars with the app is the frequency of the ads l prior to each puzzle. I know ads are how free-play games make money, it would just be nice to play through a few puzzles between ads instead of them being between each one. Altogether, this is app and its various modes are becoming amongst some of my favorite entertaining AND educational pastimes for all ages, right up there with Duolingo. I love the traditional word games (crosswords, word-searches, acrostics, etc.) but beyond sudoku I don’t know of many other entertaining math games, and I suppose that makes this app extra refreshing as well :) ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-18, version 4.15.0* The game itself is very good, however, if you are playing for free, there are so many disruptive ads to get thru. I deleted the app when I was playing and there were 5 pop up ads within one minute of playing time. At that point you have to delete and exit the game and then return. What a horrible method for advertising. At first the ads were after the game, you still had to delete and exit the game and return to continue playing. Math is tough enough, I’ll never play this again. ### 4/5 — No working *2026-08-16, version 4.15.0* No working ### 2/5 — Newest ad update makes it unusable *2026-08-16, version 4.15.0* The ads used to pop up at the end of a game. Now they pop up mid game and take over the screen with no way to close them. Won’t be using this anymore unless this gets removed. ### 3/5 — Predictable *2026-08-12, version 4.14.0* While I enjoy this game it is predictable. But even worse is the ads that will suddenly jump open as if I wanted to see what they were advertising. It’s some “click bait-like” thing to get some ad count I guess. I will be removing this game if this keeps on. The game isn’t that great. ### 2/5 — Pain in the neck adverts *2026-08-11, version 4.14.0* Super game, but adverts just sit there. Forever. ### 2/5 — Too Many Annoying Ads that Last Forever *2026-08-11, version 4.14.0* To many Annoying Ads last forever ### 3/5 — Too easy *2026-08-08, version 4.14.0* Expert is easy, it's only difficulty comes from the variation of possible answers which is more annoying than difficult. Can there be an algebra level or bigger puzzles? Or perhaps harder math? ### 4/5 — Relaxing but good brain exercise *2026-08-08, version 4.14.0* I’ve played this game for a few months and really enjoy it, but the app went blank for a few days. Back in action now 👍 ### 5/5 — Helping grandchildren *2026-08-07, version 4.14.0* I got this for my grandchildren and they love it ### 5/5 — Reclamação *2026-08-06* Troquei de celular e não tem como fazer login estava longe, jogava todo santo dia agora tô até desanimado de começar do 0 💔💔💔💔 ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-08-05, version 4.14.0* Bueno para los estudiantes mejorar en la clase de matemáticas ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unclosable & Incessant Ads- Don’t Try *2026-08-26, version 4.15.0* Unable to close ads without closing the game. They’re incessant. Not worth playing. You be extremely frustrated. ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2026-08-23, version 4.15.0* Great game, exactly what I was looking for but way too many long adds between games. Make you loose interest ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-22, version 4.15.0* 80% of the time, there is a graphic heavy ad after each level. Eats up battery and almost doubles the game playing time. ### 1/5 — Ad time is longer than game time *2026-08-22, version 4.15.0* This game used to be fun. But now I play for 30 seconds and then get a 3 minute ad and then play for 30 seconds and get a 3 minute ad???? Like I understand ads but its not even fun. Disturbs the level I am on. NOT FUN BECAUSE YOU RUINED THE GAME ### 1/5 — How? *2026-08-20, version 4.15.0* I like math, and I went directly to ‘expert’ to play this… but what I can’t figure out how to do is get out of this endless jungle of new app previews once you solve the puzzle. How do you get past them to play a new game? ### 1/5 — Great! Unplayable *2026-08-11, version 4.14.0* Excellent concept and enjoyable, however the ad’s last longer than the game takes to play. ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2026-08-05, version 4.14.0* The devs saw dollar signs and turned this into a fever dream of unskippable ads. You’ll be spending more time being bombarded by them than you will be playing the game—no exaggeration. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-08-04, version 4.14.0* If you want a game where you get to really test your math skills and stay focused to do so, then I suggest getting a different app, unless your ok with ads after every level, why not just pay for no ads because these greedy trouser trouts are asking 8 bucks for no more ads I’m shocked this stupid game has 4.9/5 stars, def blew some people for those reviews ### 1/5 — Alert *2026-08-01, version 4.14.0* This game carries a potential virus. ### 1/5 — Collects Your Data And Shares It *2026-07-29, version 4.14.0* 1.
