### 5/5 — Navia R Neal

*2026-08-01, version 2.0.0*

I love this website and one I would start a gaming channel and play it again and I love explore learning

### 3/5 — It’s ok…

*2026-07-01, version 2.0.0*

It taught me all my multiplication and division and it’s a little fun and quick to get a green light, but I don’t like math. The games are pretty fun, but you have to do them at the end.   I did reflex every day at school in 3rd & 4th grade and I learned all my facts. Coach penny is kinda creepy but the squirrel in the snow race is SO adorable. My eyes are yellow, but there is no yellow color for your eyes on your avatar in reflex so I just went with green. It’s an OK app.

### 3/5 — Coach Penny is so creepy

*2026-06-15, version 2.0.0*

### 1/5 — Hbbbgg

*2026-02-24, version 2.0.0*

Too hard buttons too small

### 1/5 — THE WORST EDUCATION APP I’VE EVER SEEN!

*2026-02-22, version 2.0.0*

You shouldn’t try this app. 
This app just has the same games over and over again. And you have to play the game five times to unlock a new game. 
My kids hate this game THEY COMPLAINED FOR TWO MONTHS STRAIGHT that I had to delete this game!
This app gave you two seconds to answer a question!
That’s why I HATE this game!

### 3/5 — I like it but it’s not the best

*2026-02-12, version 2.0.0*

It’s a little rage baiting but it’s fun but it’s not fun alone
