What Users Love About the App
“I downloaded this app for my kids, ages 6 and 10. They both love it!! It is easy to set up, in fact, they can do it on the own. They have a great time playing! It’s a wonderful way to learn math facts for the kids! Thanks Pat!!”
“This is exactly what I was looking for, but will you please go up to 20 for the subtraction problems instead of stopping at 16? I’d highly appreciate this update! Thanks for keeping off ads and other distracting stuff.”
“Both my boys, ages 5 & 6, enjoyed playing this app. It’s a fun substitute for math flash cards. I like that you can customize which math facts are presented to the user. It’s nice to have an educational app that my kids enjoy playing. Also, there are no distractions from ads or animation!”
“Wonderfully straightforward and practical. i downloaded several different apps for my third grader to practice multiplication facts, and this is the only one that is what i’m looking for! clean modern design, no ads/distractions, flexible by allowing you to choose which facts to work on, and the child types in the answer so they have to actually practice before proceeding and it tracks progress, times, and levels. thank you!”
“This app is perfectly simple! It is easy to use, has a nice, clean interface, and has really helped my children work on their math facts!”
What Users Dislike About the App
“My only complaint is that you can only do 10 cards at a time and that you have to start over with how many digits you want to include. every single time you play! I’d like the option to do up to 30+ and have your settings stay the same!”
“This app does not help students develop the conceptual knowledge behind the facts and rather emphasizes rote memorization. Students are notified if they are right or wrong but there is never a reason provided as to why they got the answer wrong. Therefore, the student might not understand the process behind the math facts and instead they may simply memorizes the answers.”
“When typing the answers, they aren’t visible. Please fix. I’d also love the ability to manually take out certain math problems.”
“I’d like to see: ability to practice more cards for practicing a single time table- current max is 10. And the zero times tables in algebra mode makes you guess the X in Xx0=0. It won’t accept all correct answers. Finally, it would be nice if the cards shuffled themselves if you wanted to play again.”
“We used it for my 2nd grader. She used it with 10 cards and it plus before Christmas break and each week they did a number so like 1 they did everything 1+ 1 and so on. Now they are working on subtraction but I can’t seem to get 10 cards to do a timed test with just doing subtracting by a certain number like 1. Please help as this app worked well for my daughter.”
