What Users Love About the App

“I can’t tell you how much we love Thinkster. If your kid needs “extra” in math, whether it’s to catch up, stay motivated, or soar ahead, this is the program. We’re just a few weeks in, but I’m excited to see where she is a year from now.”

“We’re brand new to Thinkster and blown away by the company, the quality of the material and most of all by my daughter’s coach. I’m looking forward to her filling in a year’s worth of gaps and find new ways to love math.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“It is very confusing and my child who is very diligent is lost. They just want you to watch a bunch of videos.  Also they keep in texting me when they should text the child who is 14! When they texted me that she was supposed to be online they did not text her!”

“It seemed good at first, but after a few days, when the problems were getting harder for my 7 year old the only feedback we got from the instructor was to watch the videos first, which my daughter did every time, but every time the feedback was the same. She kept getting more frustrated with every problem but kept getting the same feedback: watch the videos.”

“Thinkster just offers bunch of videos and expect students to learn from them. Had they offered good 1:1 tutoring instead of just throwing some videos it would have been helpful.”
