Reviews
Good for older kids, but...

First, this really is a very good app that does what it says for kids from 9-11 (or even older). I just wrote a review for another app with a problem this app solved…it’s too repetitive. I like that this app has different places to explore and some story line to keep kids interested (a bit like a comic book). This app, just needs to allow an option to substitute the problems for younger kids! Seems like it should be an easy modification, but maybe not. My son is dying to explore this app, discover the treasures, learn about he treasures he’s getting, and beat the bad guy! But he’s only 6 and doesn’t do the complex equations necessary here. So if the app Math vs. Zombies game could get the explore-a-bility of this game and combine it with its customizable math subjects and difficulty levels, it would be the ultimate educational app. Conversely, if this game can just add the customizability, I will happily return and update my review and bring all the friends I can to this app.
