DigitWhiz Math Reviews

Excellent teaching tool & Fun!

I've been using DigitWhiz for several years in my middle school classroom. My students really like it—they especially enjoy the games where they get to compete with other students. As a teacher I really like the mastery reports. I see significant progress, particularly mastering challenging skills like operations with integers and combining terms. Highly recommended!

I did not like the layout of the app it was very poorly spread out like butter on a avocado

Very addicting

When my grandma is sitting in the basement with her "friends" she loves to break out the iPad and play math whiz for hours. I hope, since she's Chinese, I can enter her in the senior mathlete competitions soon with how much mathwhizzing she likes to do.

Exciting, motivational

You know it's a great app when your students download it on their own devices and play at home. Students love seeing how fast they begin to master skills. As a teacher I love that I can check on each student's progress. Earning individual and school awards makes it even more motivational!

What even is this? Sure, it was meant for kids 8+, but THAT's what turned me off. I have plenty of experience with games, and basically, 8+ is synonymous with "kid's game". This one is half an example of that. Mostly ignoring other demographics, it leans a lot closer to young kids. Sure, some of the graphics are okay, and the way the games are played is tolerable, but there is pretty much no animation, with only three frames on the partner character, a common sign of a poor game unless used in RPGs and such. Also, you can tell there is barely any antialiasing, making a lot of the graphics look pixely. While I don't mind this if it's used well (such as in Homestuck), the graphics in this game kind of need to be anitaliased, given that they're mostly either solid colors or gradients. Gradients in themselves, unless used JUST right, such as in a background, are often signs of sloppiness as well, so be careful with those. Overall, improve the game's look and feel a little, and then we can talk.
