Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This is a fantastic app for keeping the brain working and alert.
Good math/brain app gives you an too…the iq score seems accurate too.
Very good game. Should continue adding battle games.
We like it but it’s been crashing.
Was a wonderful app until the screen went black while we were playing it. Only the second time we played it. Not sure if having the latest iPad has anything to do it.
We are surprised by the fact that we are actually using this without being bored and we are getting better. We like seeing our results update between ipad & computers. We would buy this app again.
Great for sharpening your math skills.
It’s basic math but it is fun to try to increase your speed.
But one of the games is buggy – pls fix the Missing Sign.
