This is a fantastic app. My little one loves it. We use it at home to reinforce what he has learnt at school and sometimes expand his learning on topics. Most of all it is very reasonably priced.

### 5/5 — Really good app

*2025-03-25*

It’s a really good app. I have used it with my three kids and results are great. They all are really good in maths.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-11-13*

This is far and away the best maths app I’ve found for my 6 year old home-schooled son. It’s not full of gimmicks like some, but is still sufficiently engaging to keep his attention.  

The only improvement would be to add a simple, quick reward system for the child, like winning items to add to a picture. Simply unlocking harder questions isn’t massively motivating for a 6 year old.

### 5/5 — Miss

*2018-11-15*

Your child is allowed to play this game by there self reception year 1 year 2 year 3

### 5/5 — Fab

*2017-02-27*

This is a good practice app but I expected lessons too before testing little disappointed but good just for practising what they've already learnt

### 3/5 — Good maths app but could be improved

*2017-02-26*

As a maths app this isn't bad however it only reads the questions up to year 1. As a parent of a dyslexic child this maths app can only be used if I sit and read the questions to him which isn't always practical. My son understands the maths questions but can't read the words which is frustrating for him. As a maths app I feel that it should assess maths & not reading.

### 5/5 — A Great App Made By A Great Developer

*2017-02-07*

After losing app in last upgrade I requested it still be made available for my iPad1. The developer spent a lot of time making it happen and it's now back and working again!!! My daughter and I love the app and are so happy to get it back. Download and get your kid learning now!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Really useful learning methods

*2016-07-16*

As a parent I can safely say this app is much better than most out there. It covers a wide variety of ages and allows to records different children's profiles. Just buy it, you won't be sorry.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2016-02-17*

Brilliant app! My two boys have always enjoyed playing it. The format is simple and friendly and it's really helped their knowledge and confidence. My eldest is in year 4 now though, so I need a KS2 version - please!!

### 5/5 — Almost faultless

*2015-10-28*

A superb app that really has helped make our child far more confident and competent in maths. For the child, the goals and rewards are clear and motivational. For parents, the level (related to school years) is clear, so you know exactly what you're asking your child to tackle and hence, how they're doing vs the national curriculum and key stages. 

Tiny criticism is that the next question sometimes begins before the 'teacher' finishes annunciating the answer that the child has provided. That I'm even including such a trivial comment, shows just how amazing everything else in the app is. Well done!

### 1/5 — Boring

*2015-04-01*

Not a good app. My child found it very boring. The questions are not spoken aloud in yr1 section meaning the children have to have a high level of reading. The questions are also phrased oddly. The counting questions don't allow the child to touch as they count as as soon as they touch the screen it takes that as their answer.
