Is It Any Good?
KIDCALC KWANZAA provides some basic math games, and can help kids practice some basic math skills. But don't expect any overwhelmingly detailed Kwanzaa-related games and activities directly associated with the holiday. It's really just images of the holiday theme tacked onto the basic math games from the original app, along with a Kwanzaa-colored border. For kids to really enjoy and make use of this app, the many settings must be adjusted to their age and expectations of how a game will function.
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.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
