While this is a game that encourages mathematical skill improvement, most of the game is designed around mythical battles and regurgitating information. Kids are regularly given multiple choice questions rather than fill in the blank, or other styles of questioning. The grade level options may give you a sufficient means to hone appropriate age level math skills, but the general quality of the game is...lacking. Here is a list of simple pain points the game should address: App requires kids to supply and remember login and location information. While I understand the business requirement, I fail to see the design decisions. Its rediculous, clunky, and frankly a privacy problem. Free version gamifys children into begging for access to a paid version. (Unacceptable) Free levels include an intentional dead-end that encourages requesting a paid version. (Unacceptable) App is comprised of numerous web resources making it extremely difficult to sufficiently protect by an Childrens application firewall or Screen Time. (Tolerable, but irritating) Many questions in the game appear with very small text, which is known to cause eye strain, even with limited use. (Unacceptable) Edit: The nail in the coffin for this travesty of an app is the fact that kids can create accounts and start playing WITHOUT adult supervision. My son has been in tears for days trying to figure out why his levels didnt match, why his account in the App, in Safari and at School are all different. Worst of all, once we sorted out how he had multiple accounts, the creators PREVENT you from deleting the faulty accounts. It all goes into an unmonitored zendesk queue, and tries ro use a chat bot to suggest other solutions. This app is unacceptably poor for kids.
