We don’t always have to use the physical blocks, especially when travelling. ### 1/5 — Not what I expected *2018-04-18* I was expecting a bit more for the money. I was hoping it would have the drills by level along with the manipulative. But that being said if I would have read further I would have seen it was just the blocks and I wouldn’t have purchased it. ### 1/5 — Mathusee *2017-10-11, version 1.0* Wish this had work sheets on it. Doesn't really do much bit disappointed as it is very Expensive for what you get. ### 5/5 — Love It / but need update *2017-10-11* We are using Math-U-See for the 1st time this year. My daughter LOVES it, and it SO helpful to have the app for those times when we do not have the blocks handy. Since the Latest apple update we have not be able to access our app. It keeps telling us that we need to contact you for an update. PLEASE update the app so that we can use it again!!!! We miss it!!! ### 5/5 — iPad mini *2017-03-10* It works awesome on our ipad mini 4's if you where not see the whole program you may have had everything zoomed in in your ipad settings or or the app itself? ### 3/5 — Constant glitches *2016-09-19* We purchased this app for our son and since purchasing it, it has crashed several times. It will glitch, then freeze and then we need to shut down the app and go back into it to continue working. This has become quite frustrating. Since we paid for the app, having this fixed would be appreciated. He is using the latest iOS version on his iPad. ### 5/5 — It's not perfect *2016-08-29* But it is what we need and is running just fine on an iPad mini 2. Until we can afford the actual block set, this will keep us going! (We use Primer, Gamma, & Delta currently.) ### 4/5 — App works as described, great tool *2016-05-16* Unfortunate that people rate this app poorly because of their own misunderstanding of the description. It's like saying "I don't think this is a good donut because it doesn't taste like a steak. I wanted a steak." The why did you buy a donut?! If you are a MUS user you will use the manipulatives. This app is a wonderful way to have blocks as fraction overlays available. The physical items can be cumbersome compared to all the whiz bang technology available. This app gives almost all of the functionality of blocks and fraction overlays without being cumbersome. I gave a 4 star because on occasion it will freeze or lag but the design is awesome. (I see that it does decimals and graphing too but I haven't used those parts yet personally) It's a great tool, yes more expensive than other apps but less than the physical manipulatives. Please read the reviews a determine whether people are rating the app or their own comprehension. (It never claims to give quizzes or practice problems). I don't usually write reviews but this was too much bad press for illegitimate reasons. ### 1/5 — Not worth it! *2016-05-10* Definitely not worth the $15 price. Should have read the other reviews before purchasing. Would be well worth it if it had some math drills included. ### 3/5 — So much potential! *2015-08-27* This would be a fantastic app if development would work out the kinks! ## Frequently asked questions about Math ### What is Math-U-See® Manipulatives?
