Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MathTango at Free against Thinkrolls's $89.99. MathTango also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (4.2K vs 3). Thinkrolls's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (100% vs 76%). On update cadence, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MathTango holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MathTango has 4.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Thinkrolls's written reviews are positive against 76% of MathTango's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
