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.
Awsome😃
I thought it was the most best math game ever! It comes in dice that you can try to figure it out with. It was so much fun!
Hidden Gem!
This is just the spice to add to an already good math curriculum. Another way to teach addition to a 2 year old. It's awesome!

Great for review of basic facts and mathematical reasoning.
Looks like a great app. Wish it worked on my phone.
App doesn't work on my older iPhone. Glad I didn't pay more than a buck for it. It's disappointing. Looks like a great game for my 6 year old son.
Fun Math Practice
As an elementary math teacher I used Math Arena in my classroom for years. My students thought it was a treat to play, and I knew they were building math concepts and skills with every game. I'd love to see more of the Math Arena games, such as Flipster & Splat Degree , available on iPhone.
Excellent App !!!!
Great way to help kids learn !! I had a problem getting it on my ipod touch ..... I clicked support and got a super fast response about updating my Itunes and that was it .... Now it works great and my daughter loves it !! I highly recommend this app !!
A quality math experience for kids.
Don' tell your kids, but, Sums Stacker is a great educational activity for teaching and reinforcing elementary math skills. It is my experience however kids will be attracted to the challenge of the gameplay and whimsy of the design and not realize that they are solving math problems. Its is basic enough to pick up on quickly, but offer enough variety to keep it interesting.
Although this game is geared towards kids, I often find myself playing it while commuting on public transit as it is challenging, addictive, and can be played in short sessions.

It's not fun
This game is not meant for extended game play. It was fun for 3 mins it's the same thing over and over again. Waste of time and money. And I like math.
Needs score tracking
This is a fun mindbender, but with no sort of score tracking or comparison to other players, you don't get a feel for how well you're doing. That's a major part of the attraction for such games, so i hope we see this in a future update.
Great Kids Game!
This game is extremely well designed and executed. My four year old and my six year old absolutely love it! The game has taught them basic roman numerals, Spanish numbers and English numbers spelled out, etc as well as providing an opportunity to practice their math and logic skills. The proof is in the pudding so the fact that my kids chose to play this game so much speaks to its enormous value.

Lame!!!
Repetative, basic, boring!!!! Good for a first or second grader who might need to practice math facts. Not a puzzle game for grown up people.
great
I love math so I think this is great.
