### 2/5 — Won’t let me sign in

*2023-04-13*

Won’t let me sign in and I need to sign in

### 2/5 — Can’t sign in with Microsoft

*2023-04-06*

It’s a great app but it won’t let me sign in with Microsoft account }
like it does on the web app.

### 4/5 — Great app but just one question

*2023-02-25, version 1.2.3*

So I feel like this is a amazing idea for an app. I originally found this app off the website, and was very exited that you had an app. I was using the multiplication fact flash cards on the web site so when I downloaded this app I was hoping for the multiplication flash cards can you please help me find them or put this in I was very disappointed to not be able to find them, this is a amazing app other than that little thing.

### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS!

*2022-05-19*

I’m a high school student and never really enjoyed mathematics. I thought it was boring and didn’t really see anything in it. But when I first discovered this, I was playing for hours and I couldn’t stop, and I finally found the true beauty of mathematics! Thank you so much for making this!

### 3/5 — Finish making the lessons, and don’t slack off

*2022-02-17, version 1.2.3*

So, not many people use this, but there still are people who use it, and most of them like it. However, I have a complaint about the lesson making speed. It’s TAKING TOO LONG! And second of all, the newest update didn’t bring any new lessons, just bug fixes and new stuff in Polypad, even though its supposed to be the textbook of the future. So please, finish making the lessons, and don’t slack off.

### 5/5 — OMG I love it!

*2022-01-22, version 1.2.3*

My teacher told me to look at it and it is amazing!

### 2/5 — A great web-app poorly ported to the iPad.

*2021-04-16*

Features are way behind the website, and the pen doesn't work if Apple Pencil's scribble is not turned off.

### 5/5 — Yay

*2020-02-07*

I love knowledge

### 5/5 — Really is the math book of the future

*2019-10-20, version 1.0.3*

I’ve been a CS and math middle and high school teacher, as well as studying it in college. I have to say that this is one of my favorite mathematical tools to use on my own to explore big ideas. 

Each section is wonderfully animated, crafted, interactive and informative. I couldn’t ask for me.
