Parent Review – Multiplication ! ! Review

I've downloaded and previewed/reviewed about 35-40 math apps for ages 7-12. This app (free lite version) is very impressive. So much so that I will likely purchase full version after I let my child use it for a few days. *Pros: it uses the carry method and forces a touch of mental math (HUGE PRO in my book) It does not waste time over-gratifying the student for a correct answer with accolades (cheers, balloons, ducks falling from the sky) It is easy and logical to use, no training needed in my opinion *Cons: on lite version the ads at bottom sometimes lag the program; purchasing full version eliminates ads so that should resolve itself It appears to require network (WiFi) connection which eliminates use on devices like iTouch/iPad that are not in wireless range (have not tested this sorry I should have done so before posting this review!) It is a straight forward easy to use no nonsense app for students to practice multi digit multiplication. Very well designed, not distracting with frills.
