### 2/5 — Review

*2020-05-18*

MathBoard is fun and a good way to practice multiplication,division, addition, and subtraction practice but in my opinion it needs some work with its technical strategies and the voice over can be annoying and I think it could be funnier for children if there were more fun games and activities but if MathBoard fixes those small things I think it could be a very fun game.

### 4/5 — Helps very much

*2019-04-07*

My favorite is audio mode. You can hear the math question and then say your answer into your iPhone. Great if you want to hear and talk your answers while you’re driving. The iPad version is not as effective because you always have to repress the microphone icon after each question to activate it. -James

### 5/5 — It’s a great app

*2018-10-23*

It’s fun learning maths using this way.Its a great app I recommend it.

### 5/5 — Muy útil para niños pequeños

*2018-04-05, version 3.3.6*

Realmente una app muy bien diseñada y útil para que los niños aprendan y practiquen

### 3/5 — Great app, clunky settings interface

*2018-02-16*

The fact you can’t type in the ranges but have to hold down a button like an old fashioned digital alarm clock to set the number range, is really strange. Let me type in 423 if that’s what I want to set instead of having to scroll there. 

Otherwise it’s a great app for kids to practice maths. There are no silly games or animations to distract them; their whole attention is on solving the math problem. It’s wonderfully unmontesori (sp?). 

Improve the settings interface and you have my unqualified 5 start endorsement.

### 2/5 — Not good anymore.

*2018-01-04*

Can’t filing how to turn off the stupid voice. I’m an engineer brushing up on my mental math. I don’t want to hear this voice. Also, I can’t find anything in the settings. 

When I try to contact the developer through their app, there’s a nonfunctional parental lock for roughing three circles. Not working. I’ve had this app since iPhone 5, and it was great then. Ever since, the added features are just making it worse. 

I’ll find another app. This isn’t rocket science, and for the price they want for this, it’s a rip off.

Response to developer: The three circles approach is not working as stated in the review.

**Developer response:** @micky1999234 -- You can contact support at support@palasoftware.com when needed. As for not being able to deactivate the voice, this was an issue on the iPhone in version 3.3.3 which has since been corrected in version 3.3.4. As for the parental lock you need to touch all three circles at the same time.

### 3/5 — Used to be better

*2017-06-21*

Years ago I gave this app 5 stars.   With each new release, they have started to add unnecessary bloat to the software that is making less usable.   My kids have a certain amount of time to finish math board assignments.   Now they cannot because of the slow and lingering "Correct" that flashes on the screen.   If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

### 1/5 — mathboard不靠谱

*2026-02-25*

题目的很难，计时器是快的很不靠谱。

### 1/5 — not fun

*2024-02-13*

it is not good enough to let people like to use it nor let them like math.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2022-06-22*

Badbadbad

### 1/5 — Not at all useful

*2021-05-05*

I completely wasted my money on this.  I wanted an app that would help my daughter learn regrouping, and this is crap.  Just games to review EXISTING knowledge.

### 1/5 — It ok

*2020-03-19*

Don’t get it if you have a choice

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2018-12-20*

You can barely do anything on this app

### 1/5 — 太差了

*2016-09-07*

我就想知道上面那些好评是怎么来的！

### 1/5 — Really great app, But..

*2016-03-23*

Really great app, But..
a. Can we have the previous app icon, please ??
b. Previous design inside the app was definitely much better !
c. In this new configuration, it now takes many more clicks before getting to the practice screen. That's not an improvement.

### 1/5 — Was für ein Scheiss...Totaler Wucher

*2015-02-10, version 2.4.2*

Jede kostenlose App im Netz kann mehr! Mich ärgert das rausgeschmissene Geld. Klar ist die Aufmachung super und sieht toll aus, aber lehrreich sieht definitiv anders aus! Die Bedienung ist echt überhaupt nicht intuitiv! Und die paar Funktionen schreib ich mit jedem Tabellenkalk. Prg in 5 min selbst! Dafür 4,99€ abrippen ist Frechheit und grenzt schon an Nepperei. Vor allem weil die didaktische Aufbereitung überhaupt nicht vorhanden ist! Hier bekommt man ein weisses Blatt Papier fürs Geld! 

Ich werds einklagen! Definitiv!!!
