Is It Any Good?
KIDCALC HANUKKAH MATH FUN has no Hanukkah theme-specific material other than some wallpaper with the Star of David on it on the main screen. The other holiday-themed KidCalc apps have more holiday theme visuals, so we expected more Hanukkah-specific images. The games on this app can help kids practice some basic math skills, but for kids to really enjoy and make use of this app, parents must adjust the many settings. The number tracing activity is disappointing in that it allows kids to trace incorrectly without giving corrective feedback. And the toddler voice, while cute, models pronunciation incorrectly; the adult voices are a better option.
