Gender bugs🤬

Look I really like this game it’s 5 stars but what do I mean by gender bugs is the monsters I have created that have a gender of Male(The ones without eyelashes) well the thing is when I read the facts about them they had the feminine words like “she and her” instead of the masculine ones like “he and him” it doesn’t make sense so will you please fix the bugs the female monsters I have created are fine but the males have the bugs, why do they? Please fix the bugs😐 just please so that way this game is back to 5 stars instead of 3 stars okay👍🏻

The *one* math game my kids keep playing

One of the original educational games I got for my kids in pandemic lockdown that continues to hold their attention and teach them, 2.5 years later. My oldest was in Kindergarten in April 2020. He has happily moved on from the addition & subtraction tropical island to the multiplication & division section by 2nd grade. He became frustrated at school that they weren’t teaching multiplication yet in 2nd grade! He’s in 3rd grade now, happily learning division in Math Tango.

Developers continue to make improvements, including a monster directory that people have requested in other reviews. It was getting hard to find specific monsters after your kid earned more than 30 monsters! I also like that after a certain number of missions, the island expands and adds more land—things can get crowded. My youngest, in 1st grade, has over 100 monsters and 3 land expansions.

Developers reached the right balance between fun stuff unrelated to math and math “puzzles” to get the kids coming back for more. For 1st & 2nd grade, it makes more sense for my kids to play on Math Tango several times a week for 10-20 minutes than to do the common core homework workbook that the teachers never check.

Just be aware if you’re homeschooling your kids, this can’t be the only source for math. Time, measurements, etc are not taught in this app.

No Help

My child has been struggling with math for over 2 years. We’ve spent hundreds of dollars in books, toys, and computer software to help her. We were at wits end until downloading Math Tango. She fell completely in love and actually wanted to do math. To say that we were ecstatic is an understatement.

Unfortunately, there is a glitch in the app, specifically mission 24. For 3 days she has been doing the task of “recharging” robots, but no matter what she does, the app doesn’t recognize that she’s completed the task and doesn’t move on.

We’ve done everything from restarting the iPad, closing the app completely, to adjusting the lesson plans, and of course ensuring all updates were complete on the iPad and app. I’ve emailed app support twice with no answer. It’s distressing that I’ve got a child that finally has a desire to learn math and the app is frozen. We are on the 7 day trial period and of course were on the path to purchasing the full subscription without a second thought. However, looks like that 7 day period gave us insight into what the full subscription tech support would look like. Needless to say we may be on the hunt for another educational program/tool.

Best of luck to the rest of the families who download Math Tango and hope that you don’t encounter the same issues.

Response from developer

We apologize for our support team's late response. We try to get back to every message within 24 hours, but this is sometimes difficult when we receive a large volume of requests. We'll work on speeding up our response time in the future. Regarding the problem you experienced, we've figured out what caused it and are working on fixing it in an upcoming release. We also reached out to you via email with a workaround that should skip you to Mission 25 so that your daughter's progress isn't further inhibited by this issue.
