It has NO ads and there are TWO modes for older kids and the little ones. There are quests and things you can buy with GAME MONEY so no real money is spent while you are buying accessories. When you are done signing in or whatever you can put your own name and pick which character you want to be! This is a great start into your world of math! I have really learned over 3 years because I am still 10 than some if you find yourself here with this game PEASE DOWNLOAD!!!!!❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 I am in love! ### 3/5 — Gender bugs🤬 *2022-12-30, version 12.4* 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👍🏻 ### 4/5 — This was amazing but… *2022-11-20, version 12.4* I couldn’t pick up any of theMom that’s why it’s only four stops every time I kept walking in Brussels right thing wouldn’t work so it was stuck on level four. How do you been set in division in the phone and said traction for my little brother it’s amazing but I really need someway to have an easier way to pick up the monster I help my little brother reboot edition things but it should have it should have auto read so they don’t have to read the level please answer me it’s so hard just to do this I have to stop what I’m doing to help him read the little Lego what am I gonna do help 😰 ### 5/5 — The *one* math game my kids keep playing *2022-11-10, version 12.4* 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. **Developer response:** We're thrilled to hear your kids have had such a positive experience with MathTango! And we really appreciate all the kind words about our work—we're so glad the improvements/additions we've made have not gone unnoticed. Thanks for leaving a review, and if there's ever anything we can do for you, please reach out to us at support@originatorkids.com! ### 3/5 — No Help *2022-08-25, version 12.1* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 5/5 — Wow! Next level math app for kids *2022-06-19, version 11.7* My 6yr old is getting his math facts down faster than I ever expected. The storyline and graphics are creative, engaging and well-detailed. As a parent and child development/education specialist I’ve tried out countless educational driven apps and Math Tango has raised the bar to a whole new level. I would recommend this app to all families and educators I work with. To add, the updates are spot on- thank you!! Love being able to select areas of focus and the monster index is fantastic! One thing I haven’t figured out yet is if there is a way to repeat levels? It would also be great to have some sort of progress measure built in and how cool would it be to integrate the choreography so we could dance along!?! But even as it stands, MathTango is far above the rest and can’t wait to see what else y’all come up with! Well done 👏 **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind words!! We're incredibly grateful for your support, and we're so happy to hear your child is enjoying and learning from MathTango. Regarding your comments at the end: If by "repeat levels" you mean a way to play the same lesson a second time, you should always be able to replay a lesson by simply clicking on its icon again from the Lesson Plan page. You can also always go to the curriculum menu (pen/pencil icon at top left of lesson plan page) to adjust which lessons your child is playing through. If you're asking for a way to repeat *missions*, that's not currently possible, but it's absolutely something we'll consider! And we'll also be sure to share your progress meter and dance along ideas with the rest of the team! ### 5/5 — Update *2022-04-27, version 11.4* Good day and thank you for the update. And all the new missions on the first island. We continue to enjoy this most delightful app. Keep up the wonderful work. Yours, Sherry This has got to be one of the most delightful apps for math out there. Worth every penny for my challenged students. And I don’t have to worry about violence or viciousness while they add to their critters. Keep up the fine work. Many thanks! ### 5/5 — 3+ is a huge win *2021-12-20, version 11.0* Buy the annual subscription even if you have a little one. Mine has a lot of great choices for educational games but she continually requests “monster math”. Several levels in just a few weeks later and she is really engaged with the content, the DANCES and the silly moments killing time in between lessons just playing with the monsters. The screens don’t accurately capture how dialed in and targeted the lessons are. Perfect timing. Super light and simple user feedback. It’s NOT drill and kill. More like “skill uphill” My daughter is not yet 3.5 so finding a really high quality math program for her has been interesting. I have all the other titles from the company, this one is so different but so effective. Get your dance floor and a few items to play with and your kiddo will be playing at math often and accurately! **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your review! We're so glad to hear that your daughter is enjoying MathTango—and learning at the same time! :) If there's every anything we can help you with, please reach out to us at support@originatorkids.com. ### 5/5 — Great app, we love Originator! *2021-10-13, version 10.8* We started out using Originator Endless apps and fell in love. My son loved the monsters and sound effects and even us grownups thought they were fun. When we found MathTango, we were thrilled. Even though my son is now further along than the program, he still loves playing for review and just to advance his monsters & robots. Directions are clear enough that kids can figure out mini games on their own and parents don’t have to hover. We’ve deleted a lot of apps because they required just as much of my time as my son’s. The dances are very well done. Cute moves and graphics are top notch and so fun to watch. I wish Originator would make learning apps for all ages - robots & monsters would make my boring work day a lot easier to deal with! **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your review! We're so glad to hear that your son enjoys the app. If you have any questions or further feedback, don't hesitate to contact us at support@originatorkids.com :) ### 5/5 — Need a Monster/Robot Directory please!!! *2021-07-22, version 10.6* We love, love, love this app!!! My younger son uses the addition/subtraction part and my older son has now graduated to the multiplication/division. There is an excellent balance of math puzzles and missions to keep them interested and coming back for more. They also love when they get to create their own monster. Our only frustration is when the mission requires them to find a specific monster or robot to do something with because once they have 20 or 30 plus monsters and/or robots it is very frustrating and time consuming (they are only allowed a set amount of time to play) trying to track down that specific creature. It would be extremely helpful if there was some kind of directory to at least look up what that monster looks likes so you know who you are looking for instead of just randomly touching monsters to hopefully happen upon the correct one. **Developer response:** First, thank you so much for the positive feedback! Second, you can find the complete line-up of the MathTango monsters and robots with their names at http://originatorkids.com/monsters. This link is also available in the info section of the app which you can access by tapping on the "i"/info icon in the upper left of the home screen in the app. Please contact us at support@originatorkids.com if you ever need help in the future! ## Frequently asked questions about MathTango ### What does MathTango do?
