What’s It About?

Kids first choose a set of arithmetic problems then select a difficulty level. Each set contains 20 math problems. Kids write answers with their fingertips anywhere on the screen (which shows up in black boldface) before time runs out. The app's handwriting recognition identifies and tracks answers. Kids can attempt answers as many times as they'd like or can skip problems entirely. A bar graph shows results at the end of each set, which are saved over time so kids can track their progress.

QUICK MATH - MULTIPLICATION TABLE & ARITHMETIC GAME is a great app to keep arithmetic skills sharp. It's smartly designed, makes mental computation fun, and teaches necessary academic and everyday life skills. The app's handwriting recognition is impressive and does justice to even the scribbliest of writers. The interface is clean and uncluttered, and the performance tool encourages players with an easy-to-understand bar graph that auto-tracks progress. The accompanying music is mellow and unobtrusive and can be turned off entirely.

The app would be even better if it had customizable user settings. Horizontal equations differ from the stacked, vertical ones kids typically see at school, and the app doesn't allow players to change this orientation. The handwriting recognition isn't 100% accurate and sometimes doesn't enter the number 6 or mistakes 3 for 5, which adds time and lowers the player's score. It'd be nice to have the option to make custom equation sets to help kids target tricky numbers. Also, the option to turn off the timer would give kids a chance to practice and boost math confidence before entering into timed math sprints.

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.
