Needs perfecting

I have the full version of this app and absolutely enjoy using this to help improve my mathematic skills. However, it has its flaws when it comes to handwriting. I find there to be inconsistencies when reading handwriting where at times it wouldn’t be identified. For example, sometimes the app can recognise the number 5 with one stroke and other times I need to use two strokes. Additionally, the number 7 often gets confused with number 1. It’s frustrating because sometimes I’ll think I’ll need a line through my 7 for it to be recognised but sometimes it doesn’t which means when it’s correct, it creates a stroke for the next question which can be very annoying. This is the same when writing number 5. With improved AI for judging handwriting, I can see this app succeed. But in the meantime, I suggest featuring a “clear” button so the user can rewrite their answer in times when the app fails to recognise the correct number as it can take time when identifying “incorrect” answers which leads to users losing their flow of the game. Would love to see this app improve. 2 plus 2 is 4 minus 1 that’s 3 quick mafs

Almost Perfect

I love everything about this app, from how you can choose to do subtraction, addition etc. individually or a combo to how you can choose the difficulty. However, one complaint is that the multiplication questions register your writing very quickly and sometimes I haven’t even finished writing before it registers the answer and then registers my final stroke for the first answer as my answer for the next question. This is very annoying as it throws me off completely.

I would suggest that they fix this, and maybe also add in the option for us to switch our answer format to a number pad (for those who want to) so that there are no confusions about our answers. Please don’t switch the answer format, but if you can then it’d be great to add in another answer format to choose from.

Great app!

Great app especially when you can draw in your answers. Love how inexpensive it is at under $2 or so to unlock the extra multiplication, division and subtraction. The app also comes with an extra mixed equations which really turns your brain on. I don’t know if you have experienced the same or not but I learnt all my equations off by heart in year 3 and then didn’t use them for a while and forgot most of them. This app helped me to remember them again although you need to know them to start off. A thing that annoys me with the app is I don’t even get to finish my answer sometimes and it skips my answer and I end up drawing the rest of it on the next equation. An eraser would be useful for mistakes. The app also takes a long time to recognize your answers very often and this takes away from your time as well as when you get it write and it doesn’t recognize it so it says it is wrong. I don't have messy writing so it is the app in that sense. Apart from the really great app and if you only need addition you won’t need to pay a cent. Very impressed and love this app!
