This beats paying money and time on writing up flashcards. Great options so that you can work with the numbers you want. Gonna be using this with my students tutor sessions
Very nice app.
I am pleased with this app and a great price. A couple of things I would like to see:
1. Wider range, at least 20 or 25.
2. Separate the deck configuration from deck selection to play. It is a little confusing for kids since there is an arrow and I don't want it to be quite so easy for them to change the configs I set up for them.
3. Ability to mix operators for a set.

Yep, it's worth a buck. My fourth grader hates math review (and man he needs it) but he loves to play with my iPhone. So this worked for us!

Nice app and a good price.
My kids love this app
My children (ages 7 & 11) look forward to their math study time with this app. Definitly worth $0.99!
From F's to A's with this App

My son struggles with math facts in school, and needs daily practice to help him keep up with his class. We have been using this app EVERY DAY for 5 months now, and his math facts grades have gone from F's to A's! The program is great because he can be going through these flashcards and getting direct feedback on his performance, and I can be making dinner instead of sitting with him during this time. A time saver for all.
Good but needs wider range
I like this app. My son is happy to do it for about 5 minutes at a time, after that it is a little too boring. However, I wish it went all the way up to 20. My son is great with 1-10, but needs to work on 10-20 facts. On the plus side, it gives him the chance to try out multiplication in a non-threatening environment. (He's just starting 3rd grade; multiplication not introduced yet).
This app is really neat!!!!!!
This app really is fun to use. It helps me to refine my math skills. Thanks for this app!
Great support and kids like the app

Thanks for your quick response! My kids have been fighting over this app. Not sure how long that will last, but it sure is fun to see!
Awesome considering...

Considering this app was created by an 11 yr old and his 9 yr old brother I'm pretty sure this is the best $.99 I've ever spent! My son loves to play it when we have time to kill and is really learning his math facts. BTW - to change from multiple choice to keyboard you simply turn "off" the multiple choice button. :)
Great math app!
Best one we've found. Highly recommended. The fact that you can use a keypad instead of just multiple choice is key. It is helping my kids hone their math skills this summer. I love all the flexibility with the settings. For future, three and four digit numbers would also be great for adding and subtracting. Thanks!
Simply the best of the flash cards apps
It's great there are so many flash card apps for iPhone. Keeps you developers on your toes!

Very well executed program. Good job.
Poor usability, buggy
By:

Version: 2.2
The description mentions a keypad, but I saw no settings for this anywhere. It only had multiple choice, which is meaningless for answering math questions. You can add new card decks, but there is no way to edit existing ones or remove any. I wouldn't like this app even if it were free. I'm sorry I paid $1.99 for it.
nice features, clean UI, fun for the kids

Very well done. App is solid and kids are using it. Old school, tried and true technique to memorize the buggers.
Simply the best of the flash cards apps
This apps continues to improve. We have been using it since 1.0. It is rock solid. I had a moment to look at two negative reviews and they are factually incorrect. Both keyboard and multiple choice are in the configuration screen (just turn off multiple choice and the quiz will use a number keyboard) and editing and deleting of quizes is simple and works just like every other iPhone app. You swipe left or right on the quiz in the list to delete and tap the blue circle on the row to edit. Simple.
easy to use, kids seem to enjoy it

I'm a dad with a little boy and this is one of the greatest apps i've downloaded. My son and I use it all the time and it's really helping him in school.

We have been using the update for several days. Great new look and the ability to limit the number of cards per quiz makes this already excellent app even better. We use it all the time in the car. Keep up the good work.
Best Educational App Ever!

My son has become the #1 Math wiz in his class thanks to this app! With this app my son feels as though he's playing a game and homework is no longer a chore. WIN/WIN!! Buying this app is a MUST! Thanks to the developers for such an amazing product!!!!!!'n
Decent start, with a few bugs...
By:
egadgetboy
Version: 1.0.1
Decent start to a reasonable app, clean interface for young fingers. Shuffle feature doesn't work though, making this program somewhat disappointing because the answer to the next question is alway one number higher/lower than the previous one. Also, you can't mix addition and subtraction questions into the same test - you have to stick to one or the other at a time. "Practice" option seems to crash the app almost every time. Wait for an update that incorporates all of these things before you consider making a purchase...
Almost perfect

This is an excellent app. I concur with some of the others in that there may still be some room for improvement.
Foremost, I think the number button colors should be configurable. Black text on a red button would probably be my last choice for readabilty.
My daughter also accidentally backed out a number of times... "are you sure you're finished?" would also be a welcome revision.
Thanks for a good product.
Fantastic Application

Our 6 year old needed just this application. It is fast and clear. He enjoys trying to best his time. The app flawlessly allows parents to manage difficulty. Our son is mastering 0-11 addition facts. All we did was make the top number 6-0 and the bottom 5-0. His last attempt was 90% correct in 5:47. This tool will continue to be with us as we hit the remaining math milestones.
Great for testing math skills
By:

Just downloaded the upgrades. They are fantastic and thank you to the developers for responding so quickly to suggestions.
Still on my wish list:
- allow mixing of types of test. For example allow users to take a test with both addition and subtraction.
- allow number of cards in a test to be set. This way if there are 256 cards available and the test is set to 50, the person gets a random test that holds their attention.
First post:
Great app. My only suggestions for future upgrades are:
- allow setting of number of questions per test. 256 questions are way too many for a first grader.
- keep track of progress. For example, 10 of 10 correct.
- allow test to mix two or more functions. For example, both addition and subtraction.
-allow larger numbers
- keys are easy for children to fat finger. Can something be done to help prevent fat fingering?
- pause a little after an incorrect answer so they have a chance to learn from their mistakes.
I look forward to seeing more updates.
Great app...Kids love it...Not a flashy game... A real educational tool
By:

I've had this app on my iPhone for a couple of months. Using it daily, I must say that I have seen dramatic improvement in both of my kids (8 and 10) rote recall of math. The side advantage has been increased confidence and overall adeptness in other elementary math skills (fractions, percentage, rounding) which foundate on rote math memorization and fast recall.
Very adaptable for age and ability
By:

The easy to set options allow me to make it simple enough for my 4 year old but challenging enough for my 10 year old! I plan to make my kids do a set of flash cards before playing any games. Suggestion: adding fun sound effects might make it seem more like a game.
Great app for kids and parents... keep the enhancements coming
By:

This is a 'have to have' app for any parent who has kids learning and refining addition, subtraction, multiplication or division (pretty much the foundation of all math). Any time one of my kids can kept quiet and learning at the same time is a big plus in my house. Anything one your iphone and it automatically gains their attention, make it valuable, and it's even a bigger plus. Lots of good options, only key request right now is to allow the parent or child the ability to set how many problems to test at a time.
Best program of its kind. Best support from developer I've ever seen.

I highly recommend this product for parents who want their kids to really learn, not just guess at an answer or have the answer triggered by clues (that's what's wrong with multiple choice). I was looking for something to help my kids practice their Kumon math facts that didn't involve me toting around their worksheets, which never seem to be on hand when we have a few minutes to practice (like in the doctor's waiting room, in line at the store, etc.) however all the other programs use multiple choice answers. I asked the developer if they could make multiple choice an option and they did it! They got back to me right away and within a few days, put up a new version. They're wonderful. This program will give my kids a better grasp of math problems than any of the other programs out there. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Great Product
Having three young children this product is great.. It is amazing how the game on the phone has become an educational tool. I like the flexibility of the product and the ability to taylor it to each child's skill level.
