Not happy

My daughter has to use this several times per week for homework. The updates to the app are great. My daughter says it's easier to use than it has been in the past. However, I am not happy that I had to purchase the app a second time to get the update.
Had to re pay for app

Similar to many others I had to re-pay and download app again. If my daughter wasn't getting benefit from it I would not do it. Almost a bare and switch.
Bad app

My child loved math of all kinds, but since she started xtramath she hates all math and refuses to do it when her teacher asks her to. DO NOT GET THIS APP!
Simple, effective app to practice math facts

My first grade daughter's teacher recommended this app to the class and we have seen such growth in both confidence and skill in one month of using this app. It evaluates your child's starting point and then quizzes them first on addition facts and once those are mastered, it moves on to subtraction. She does it for 10 min a night and it has made such a difference. The first few nights she didn't want to do it, but we convinced her to stick with it and even my 6 year old is noticing results! I've recommended this app to all my friends--instilling math confidence early is so important and this app has no frills, ads, etc and is fantastic for practice. I highly, highly recommend!!
Amazing app for math FACTS!

This app is amazing for memorization of math facts...addition, subtraction, etc. My son knows his basic math facts so well now, he can focus his attention on learning more advanced concepts like decimals and fractions without stressing over basic addition and subtraction. There were periods of frustration where he felt he would never master certain problems, but he did. His confidence has increased tremendously.
Disappointed

Liked the old version of the app better. The new version of the app - the keypad section is so small my child gets frustrated because he accidentally hits the number next to what he was trying for. Plus - I had paid for the app for my older daughter, and when I went to add my son, the app told me it was out of date and had to be updated, but I had to pay a 2nd time for the new updated version - which is a step in the wrong direction from the previous version. Finally - there are some audio issues with the new version. Odd areas of static and cut off words. Love the website - very disappointed in the current app. Hopefully improvements will be made, and I won't be required to pay a 3rd time to get them.
Poorly thought out

Your child has to pass the mastery test with 100% accuracy and speed 2 out of 3 times to move from one operation to the next. This idiocy results in a fourth grader who tests into accelerated math never moving off of single digit addition. I am not sure which educational philosophy advocates staying in the same place FOREVER until you are perfect not just once but several times. Do your child a favor and go straight to Kahn Academy if you want them to actually learn math.
3 if they did not charge me again for same app. Effective, but boring.

This past year my daughter had to do this twice a week. We paid 5.00 for the app. Well worth that. But, they told us about two weeks ago our app was outdated and we had to buy the app again for 5.00. I would have given three starts except for that. I almost would give it four. Okay- she is 10, she was 9.5 at beginning of using it. She found it boring. Now, so are flash cards, so to be fair... Drill is boring, but I felt they could give small incentives to keep them interested like have them pick their favorite character and earn a collection of them. Or, even a cute thing would be a silly joke that pops up or if a picture of a cool animal in the wild when they do good. Something. A solid app that the gifted and regular programs use. I do recommend.
