The smile of the lecturer at the end of each lesson is also a nice touch ### 5/5 — Recommend for all Levels of Learning *2013-07-10, version 4.0* Simple to follow Guided work Toots provided for completing problems Thought in proper steps for full knowledge Would recommend for any age group or level of edjucation ### 5/5 — Helps a lot *2013-03-29* Priceless for everything else.... ### 5/5 — Very Useful! *2013-03-23* Great App! I love the instructional videos, self tests and worksheets. Very easy to understand and I am learning quick. I will definitely be buying the next level. With the help of this app I will test higher on the Compass test and avoid wasting an entire college quarter and hundreds of dollars on a class. $10 app is so worth it. They took their time making this app and it shows. ### 5/5 — Heaven sent!!!!!! *2013-03-18* This is the first app that I have gotten that I would have paid FIVE times the amount for. I have a fifth grader and sixth grader and now wish I had gotten it at the beginning of the year. 150% worth the cost. Recommend to anyone, parents and adults going back to school. I have to take my compass test later this year and I will definitely be using this to help out. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2013-02-27, version 4.0* This app is great. ### 5/5 — Handy instructions. *2013-01-24, version 4.0* Good to go with my GED books. ### 5/5 — Amazing!!! *2012-09-15, version 4.0* It's an amazing app, I'm teaching using it and it's been very helpful so far!!! ### 5/5 — Back to basics.... *2012-09-03* This is a great app.. It takes you back to the basics and builds on each as you move forward. It explained it better than my high school math teacher. The only thing I wish it would allow you to do is write on the screen instead of having to grab a pen and paper on the side. But all in all still a good app ### 4/5 — Wish I knew about this sooner! 😜😁☺😃👍👏 *2012-07-18* Rated a 4 because there aren't many fraction problems, in section 6. ### 5/5 — great content! *2011-10-21, version 3.0* we homeschool and this a great app for on the go instruction. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Math *2023-07-22* My mom is making me do this over the SUMMMER, the time where you are not supposed to think aboutSCHOOL!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Cancel *2023-06-23* How do I cancel? **Developer response:** How to cancel a subscription on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch 1. Open the Settings app. 2. Tap your name. 3. Tap Subscriptions. 4. Tap the subscription that you want to manage. 5. Tap Cancel Subscription. ### 1/5 — Empty *2022-09-07* The app is not working… it’s blank. Waste of money ### 1/5 — No way to contact customer service for issues *2022-06-09* We’ve been loving the app and finishing up Pre-Algebra to start on algebra 1 but all of my daughter’s progress and grades just disappeared and we are very upset. We tried exiting and returning, restarting the phone and it’s still completely reset. We’ve been using this for homeschool so I’m extra upset her Pre-Algebra records are just GONE! I’ve been paying every month and this is just so upsetting. ### 1/5 — Doesn't explain the process enough *2013-11-21, version 5.4* This doesn't walk my son through the process of how to come up with the answer....I wish I could get a refund! ### 1/5 — Huge rip off *2011-10-04, version 1.0* Way too many ads for $10 and the instructional videos are really basic. Better off going to You Tube. ### 1/5 — Ads......really? *2011-10-04, version 1.0* Scrolling ads in an educational app that costs $10? I don't think my daughter will be looking to use Coldwell Banker any time soon, nor will I. Actually, the same goes for your app. ### 2/5 — Needs update *2014-03-26, version 5.4* It's alright but not the best. It also needs a lot of updates to make it better ### 3/5 — Pre Algebra *2025-01-27* I love this app. It has short videos that make learning math easy. The only problem I have with this app is it freezes and I have to keep deleting the app and reinstalling it. I hope they fix this soon since I’m paying for the monthly subscription ### 3/5 — opening app requires charger plugged in *2024-07-14* Opening the app without the charger connected doesn’t display any options to get started or any selections to the right do no show. Using the app on the iPad I have to have the charger connected to have anything show up within the app otherwise if it’s not connected to a power supply the app opens but it’s page is blank. Closing app and restarting doesn’t fix issue, only when you have the charger connected the restart app is when it works. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best learning game, I know *2026-07-21* This game is helping me study for sixth grade and to get straight A’s and I hope this game works or I would have a notebook full of Pre-Algebra ### 5/5 — Good teaching *2025-06-01* Very easy to learn from ### 5/5 — Simple enough *2023-12-22, version 10.0* Just started using the app so vary simple layout which in my opinion is good. I’ll keep you posted as I see more. Do you have one algebra to keep progressing in math studies? -Update - some of the multiple choice answers don’t show up on the screen. Maybe a glitch.-update didn’t explain the difference of commutative and associative properties that well. Perhaps a side by side understanding of the difference. The equation makes sense but lacks understanding of the principle being explained. Also describing alternative methods for PEMDAS as wrong might not be the best description. It’s like saying the metric system is wrong because we use the imperial. ### 5/5 — Simple enough *2023-12-17* Just started using the app so vary simple layout which in my opinion is good. I’ll keep you posted as I see more. Do you have one algebra to keep progressing in math studies? ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-04-05* This ap is outstanding ### 5/5 — Instead of 5stars, I'm giving it 10stars *2014-12-15* This app is totally awesome. It comes in handy big time, but the big is yet to come. I have college finals tomorrow I have been using this app as a study guide. So let's see what happens. ### 5/5 — Get it. *2013-11-06* This was easy and taught me things I never learned in high school. I recommend this if your trying to brush up on your math skills or if your going to take a placement test. ### 5/5 — Great! *2013-09-27* Nicely done. I recommend it to my students. ### 5/5 — Excellent app for teaching pre-algebra!! *2013-09-19* I purchased this app to accompany Saxon Math 8/7. The lessons are easy to locate in the app, and have been very helpful in teaching my middle school child pre-algebra. The videos are clear and concise, the example material is easy to understand, the tests are scored and the practice documents are extremely helpful. I would highly recommend this app for homeschoolers and have written a review on my blog for this app. Thank you to the developers!!!! ### 5/5 — Great curriculum *2013-08-21* We are using this app as the foundation of our homeschool math this year. The lessons are clearly explained, the examples are well-chosen, and the 8 practice problems (which you work on paper) are all explained in detail, if help is needed. The 5 question self-check quizzes are multiple choice and self-grading. In addition, you can print out a paper worksheet for more practice (answers are provided), and you can print out a notes page for reference during the lesson (and to refer back to in the future). This is extremely well-done, and a virtually complete curriculum. The online version of this app is recommended as a top 100 homeschool curriculum by Cathy Duffy. This version is identical to the online version, with the exception of the printable unit tests that the online version has, and score tracking. The online curriculum that includes unit test pdf's and score tracking (everything else is the same) costs over $100 dollars per student, so this app is a fantastic deal (can be installed on multiple devices in our family), and for that savings I can create cumulative tests/reviews if I find them to be necessary, and jot down the scores for each child on a piece of paper for my records. Also, so you know, there are no ads in this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
