Customer Reviews
Amazing!
A wonderful app, great price. Though, instead of multiple choice, I think it should be manualy inserted. And the answers similar, not: 255, 257, 973,689) when the answer only ends in a 5 or 0.
I need more help
This is incredible, the multiply any double digit number up to twenty blows my mind.
The other stuff, not sure I would ever need it. Can't remember when the last time I needed the square root of something.
More tricks, like division basically, basic math everyday stuff would be appreciated.
Still, the multiplication method was worth the cost, easily. Thank you!
Great Math Refresher!
As more things are available through Google searches, I am convinced I lose core capabilities, like simple math, just from lack of using the skills. This app has been great to have fun learning new math tricks and keep my mental math skills sharper. The built-in tricks are great, and I like the option to get new ones and keep learning. Great little app!
