User reviews

Another addition tool

This uses a different method to standard column addition - and you can practice that using this developer's 'C Addition' app. But this 'partial' method is equally valid, and my nine year old daughter took to it straight away.

Boring but it works

Not a bad teaching tool - but wicked boring!! Where are the bells and whistles, or score keeping or SOMETHING...?!!

Should be free app - NOT worth paying for...
