Hints, please

Our school utilizes the full program and the kids love it! They don't typically struggle until they reach the challenge section with Big Seed and Kick Box. I also allow students to play the apps during math centers. I know that the makers of this program would like to see kids persevere in solving a puzzle, but sometimes a little hint is needed. For the full program I have made "cheat sheets" for my students. After they have made so many attempts on a particular puzzle I will help them by telling them where one laser or one bar definitely belongs. This helps them tremendously, even when there are five more bars and lasers that still need to be placed. I would like to see this as an added feature in an update to the apps, especially Kick Box.
Challenging spatial relations game

This is a fun way to practice spatial relations problem solving. I enjoy playing it as an adult and my child enjoys it too. However we have gotten stuck on one problem and can't advance, and there is no help available. Please, please, add a hint feature. Perhaps the hint could become available after a certain amount of working time has lapsed without success. If there were help, I could rate this 5 stars.
Not As Addicting As Your Other Game, Big Seed.
12t5
On a comparison with KickBox and BigSeed, BigSeed would win because it's essentially more addicting and more educational.
Not just for students

I am a PhD level scientist and also find these games fun and challenging. In fact, it is so fun I have recommended it to all my friends. It is so challenging though that I am completely stumped on two of the final bonus levels. I agree with the other reviewers that some sort of hint or help would make this a five star game. I am all about persevering, and I understand the necessity of challenging a player/student, but there comes a point where you give up because there is no help. I feel that this level of challenge is counter to the goals of the MIND institute.

I found this app pretty good . I played a few games before giving it to my child , however when I tried to reset to clear my scores . The app freaks out and shouts down . Please fix any bugs .
That was fun!

I learned about these games from my son, who is in first grade. I think st math is a great program, though I think the challenge levels may be too difficult for young children, because they could negatively affect a child's confidence and natural exuberance. These puzzles are a fun challenge for adults, though, and I wonder what age they are meant for. It took me almost 5 hours to complete all levels in the dreambox standalone app, but I imagine they could be frustrating for many elementary school students.
game flashing

Game flashes on and off making it impossible to play. Is there a solution to this besides not playing the game?
