    I personally absolutely love number but there’s one thing I kind of want to criticise when you are very good at something it doesn’t adapt to your level like I want it till it doesn’t get more difficult as in multiplication and division like me I mean you’re five but it’s still doing addition even though that is challenging me to do a recap I still wish that maybe we could choose our levels so that we are doing what we need to do and if we are doing stuff that we find easy they can maybe make it unavailable well now I’m just describing my dream math game but that’s good enough so you can make another number but you can call it what could you call it? You could call it super squares i’m getting off topic but the topic is well it is you know what it is sowhooooooooooooooo!

  • New maths app

    Sallie982

    Interesting idea of making maths more enjoyable by treating it as a game. Visually colourful and draws you in to want to play. All you need to do is pass levels to earn coins to update your robot and stars to get badges sounds fun right? I believe that teachers can also print out certificates of achievements too.My only concern is you need to get two stars to progress to the next level. Someone has decided on the time it should take to get the max 3, 2 and 1 stars. If a child has motor function difficulties and does not answer questions fast enough they will repeatedly have to repeat the level. My question is learning maths about the ability to answer questions quickly or have sound understanding and knowledge? I know my son (who loves numbers and maths) would get bored of this and after all if a game makes it difficult to progress they will just stop playing and play a different game.

  • You would never guess what happened

    Okay so me and my brother were playing on his account on diamond. Then we decided to go play on my account I am on tungsten. So then when I tapped on tungsten it glitched and stayed on diamond. So then I played 7 levels of diamond before I got off it and when I checked on diamond on my account it said that it was locked but I had done 7/65 levels. I don’t want you to change that but I just wanted to tell youAlso I know that this is for all ks1 children but my brother was 5 and completed all of the levels in less than a year and was really frustrated about all the repetition throughout all the levels I mean they learn all of this in school already.Also titanium is wayyyy too easy it is just about adding and subtracting ten.And finally why did you remove some levels off of some of the stages and change some levels eg: titanium 13 used to be a grid but now it is something different. Also there used to be 85 levels in diamond but now there is only 65. Like I get that you may want kids to finish the stages faster but my brother thinks that it was pointless of doing that.Anyway I hope your developers find this info useful.Have a nice day.

  • Not happy with Recent update

    This is a wonderful app for kids to learn on their own pace . We liked that the challenges get tougher as the levels progressed. I had taught my kid to take her time and focus on completing all levels with 3 stars instead of the minimum 2 required to progress. She was on gold level and inexplicably some levels were dropped? Why? It is totally understandable that they get difficult as you progress. Why dumb them down now? Pressure from schools?Also there is a bug where the “All levels” badge is prematurely awarded now even if you haven’t completed all the levels. My kid was confused as she was hoping it get it one day but not yet!And all the info buttons next to stars in leaderboard makes it look like your accomplishments don’t matter anymore because the grownups decided to change the rules.The changes should never been done. Even if dumbing down was considered acceptable it should have been only for new class students.

  • Good concept but frustrating at times.

    My sons loved the idea of maths combined with tech for their lockdown homework recommended by their school. One son is obsessed with maths and scored 50,000 points in a few weeks but even he got fed up repeating levels over and over despite getting all the answers right. Are levels time sensitive? The time given isn’t long enough for primary age kids and this may put a lot of children who are less confident with numbers off trying to progress and encourage mistakes if they have to rush. If a child gets all the answers right please let them move on as making them go over the same style questions is just frustrating, unnecessary and demoralising. I hope your developers find this feedback useful as I really think the app would be great if these issues could be fixed.

  • Frustrating!

    Heureux19

    This is a great maths game, that my child’s school endorses, except for one huge flaw - whoever decided to put a timer on for answering the questions should be fired!!! My Year 1 child loves numbers and is very capable and able to answer many questions across all the levels. However, he is not rewarded for this because he cannot always answer against the very quick clock! As a result, he cannot progress to the other levels! This has led to much frustration and meltdowns in our house! It seems that answering within a very unreasonable time is rewarded more than getting the answer right, especially in the higher levels where the questions are quite tricky! I will be asking my child’s school to remove this game from their maths program, as it can’t be only me that is dealing with a very frustrated child!!!

  • Would be great with improvements

    I’m a teacher and a parent who uses this. The kids absolutely love the certificates and collecting points which they can spend and buy new parts for their robot. Unfortunately it’s incredibly hard to progress to new levels and I’ve seen children lose interest in it because of this. You have to get 2 stars to move on to the next level but quite often I’ve seen my daughter play it and get all the questions correct and go as fast as she can and still not get 1 star. It feels like it is testing how fast you can type which is very demotivating. She’s only 5 so it takes her longer to press the numbers and enter. I can’t see this being accessible for younger children and pupils who have fine motor difficulties.

  • Great idea but could be better

    Bigbadjonnyb

    My son loves the game, and enjoys building his robot. He can also sit and enjoy solving maths puzzles… but… he is also quite an anxious child, this isn’t helped by what I feel is quite a strict timer for a child of his age… he feels the pressure of the timer, and this leads to him panicking and getting answers incorrect because he is forced into rushing rather than him not knowing how to solve the problem… I feel with a little less emphasis on the time limit and more focus on the actual task in hand this would be a fantastic app.

  • Timer too strict & unable to skip to appropriate level questions

    @kieraawr

    The time limit is far too strict and discouraging to children who get the answers correct, but have to retry the level as they only have 1 star. As an adult, I only got 2 stars! Speed doesn’t equal accuracy.It would also be a lot better if the child could skip to their level/ability. We are playing the game as homework, but it’s taking such a long time to pass levels and reach questions that are at his ability. Again it’s frustrating to a 6 year old who is answering hundreds of questions of 2+3=?

  • Great idea, Poor implementation

    Mysticllama

    Making maths fun is a really good idea for young children, my daughter started off loving this. Sadly she has soon become frustrated due to the ridiculous hidden time limit for achieving stars. Expecting a 5 year old who is just embarking on learning maths to complete tasks in a timeframe, without any knowledge of the actual time available is disheartening and destroys the objective of making it fun. Additionally there’s no way to configure the school issued password or persistence in the login details, so we have to track down a slip of paper with a random user name and password every time she wants to play. Great idea ruined by poor execution.
