Math Magic App Reviews

I love this app it is awesome!!!!! I keep on getting better and better!!!! This is the best math app ever!!!if people ask me what math app is good?? I,LL say math magic!!!!!

I was struggling to get my 2nd grader to study her math facts. . .until I found this app. There are quite a number of apps out there that will help a child with math facts (and I tried several of them), but this is the only one that truly engaged my child. Math practice went from a chore to an afternoon highlight. I really appreciate the ability to customize the practice sessions, since the teachers tend to be very specific for what is tested from week-to-week. This app takes math facts to the next level. . .it is well worth the price! And I have also found support from Anusen to be extremely prompt and dedicated to answering my questions.

All of my grands, from 5 to 15 can use this app for skill building and review. I really like that you can customize the levels.

Pros: easy to use and decent controls. Cons: way better math apps out there, no quiz/test option, clunky interface Not a bad attempt, but in no way polished. For my $1, theres better choices.

I wont use this app with my students because on the subtraction problems there is a visual, and thus confusing, mismatch between the pictures and the mathematical concept they are supposed to be representing. For example, a problem like "9 - 6 = ?" shows 9 red apples under the number nine and then 6 green apples under the number six. I guess if you think of this as a comparison problem (how much more or less?), it works, but the kids Im working with at this level are confused by these visuals that are there to supposedly help. I would rather see the correct number of apples "x-ed" out, or falling into a basket, or somehow being "taken away." As a teacher, I know the minus sign just doesnt mean "take away" but the developers need to think more like kids and find visuals that support, not confuse.

This is a great app, especially when when kids are first learning their math facts. What is disappointing is that after one or two problems, the application closes down completely. We tried uninstalling it, and paid for it a second time. This did not resolve the problem.

The picture in the store shows items to count with the addition equations. The current version doesnt have anything but the numerals. NO ITEMS to count. This makes the app useless for my daughter.

No real bells and whistles, so if you are looking for a game for your kids to play this is not it. But it is a very clean and easy app to practice the basics of + - x / As for the other review about not having things on the screen to count, theres a magic wand on the side of the screen, just tap it for each screen and the "counters" will appear under the numbers. My four year old did some math today with the on screen counters. I like the range of questions that I can specify. My kids will definitely be using this app to practice their arithmetic skills.

At first I really enjoyed this app, but after a thorough evaluation I found this app to basically just be electronic math flashcards. I was also not particularly fond of the multiple choice answering system because as a teacher it would be hard to know if students know their math facts or if they were just happening to guess correctly. I think if there was a way to tweak this app a little so it wasn’t just electronic flashcards with multiple choice answers; the app would be more beneficial.

I can only find where the game gives out girl stickers, what about the boys?

I have three kids in grades 6 and below. Math has always been a struggle in our family. My oldest one still has problems doing his multiplication. Even though the levels arent timed, this can be used as a speed test. I do like the customization level and al around worth the $1 I paid for it.

If it wouldnt keep crashing, it would be a great app but now Its pretty much useless. I deleted it as it was never updated/fixed.

It works strange for multiplication.You cant select exact table, for ex. full multiplication tables for 1,2,3,4,5.... You have only option minimum number and maximum. If can select 1-minimum and 5 maximum ( any number). Which means that you will see only numbers between 1 and 5 in your multiplication. So, 2x6,2x7...2x10 will be omitted, the same with 3x6....3x10 and etc. It doesnt work(((((. If you select 5 minimum and 5 maximum,you will see only 5x5,but 10 times.And for 1 minimum and 10 maximum you will see full table from 1 to 10(((((.And I didnt see a lite version,so you cant try it.When you understand how it works, it becomes useless.For 3rd grade its not applicable.

I got this specifically for my autistic son, because it had a visual support (the little magic wand.) Then I was disappointed to find that it was only available in the first two levels of difficulty on addition only. Ah, well. Im sure his little brother, the math whiz, will use it to practice multiplication and division. A great way to practice.

It took 5 seconds to load. It might be .99 cents, but it is TOTALLY worth it!!!!!!

I have this on my old ipad. I like how basic it is and fun for my kids. But now on my new ipad mini, I cant get it to switch between screen orientations. Its stuck in portrait, but I prefer landscape. Still goes back and forth on my old ipad one. This is annoying.
