Fantastic
This is educational software at its very best: clever, beautiful, and enjoyable. The hand-drawn UI is really charming, and the behaviors (movement and sound) build on it well. The ability to choose different numbering systems (dice, roman nums, braille, tallies, binary, hex, etc.) suggests a deep lesson, that math is both true *and* cultural. And the range of problems - and problem-solving techniques it invites - is impressive. There isn't a patronizing pixel in this app. And, best of all, it made me curious about the dev's other apps - some of which are even more interesting.

Great Math app
Goes beyond just basic math skills. Enough with all the basic addition and subtraction apps. We need more like this app
Great
Such a tight, simple and effective app. for re-enforcing math skills.
LOVE all of these apps!
This app (and all of them in this series) gives a fun way to 'practice' addition. The doodle-y graphics, dice, fingers, holes, tally marks… etc… just make it that much more entertaining… but the best thing is that you aren't just given equations to solve, but problems to solve. One of my sons likes it on 'solve' mode, where he can take the time he needs to make each sum correct, and the other likes racing the clock to see how quickly he can solve it. This is a must for classroom iPod kits.

Simple but fun
My 5 year old really likes this game. It's quite simple but challenging enough to keep him interested. He already like maths and numbers and his older sisters aren't so interested. Plays on it a few times a week.
