XtraMath App Reviews

needs a lot of improvements I recommend more hard questions

I read some of the negative reviews of this app and have experienced none of the problems mentioned. The app gives me the full functionality of the browser version right on my iPhone. Im am using the app to monitor student progress right now since my laptop is down. XtraMath is the best free math facts program I have found (I would recommend reflex math for those willing to pay the subscription fee.) I xtramath to help struggling high school and college students master what they should have learned in grade school. I also use it myself to improve my arithmetic speed and accuracy in a manner similar to how musicians warm up on scales before practicing more challenging pieces and skills. I think of the $5 I paid to buy the app as an initial donation to keep the "free" (no cost to me or my students) xtramath website and program running. Well worth it.

Do not buy. Use the website. Just paid $5 and no sound!!! We have a iPad mini with retina so the problem is the app, not the iPad.

Cant sign in today, with a message asking me to upgrade. Went into App Store and the app is asking for $4.99 again! I had no choice but to buy it again since my kids school requires her to do it everyday. After installation, there are 2 xtramath apps on my iPad, which basically means they are treated as 2 different apps! Nicely done, xtramath! There are many other better apps out there, if not for the school, I wont even bother to take a look at this one.

So my child plays video games sometimes. Once we got xtramath he was the best

I never review apps, but I choose to write my first one because I dont understand the negative reviews. This is a great app for basic math facts. Both my 1st and 3rd grader have increased their skills.

Very disappointed. My sons teacher uses this and we bought it for my iPhone in the Fall but that app quit working, saying we arent using latest version and: update needed. There was no waiting update. My only option was to buy it again! I have the same phone (running the latest iOS) and Apple ID I did in the Fall. Why would you charge for updates? I dont recall being notified on my original purchase the app I was buying would be obsolete as soon as they came out with an update. Poor business practice.

My daughter has to use this several times per week for homework. The updates to the app are great. My daughter says its easier to use than it has been in the past. However, I am not happy that I had to purchase the app a second time to get the update.

Similar to many others I had to re-pay and download app again. If my daughter wasnt getting benefit from it I would not do it. Almost a bare and switch.

My child loved math of all kinds, but since she started xtramath she hates all math and refuses to do it when her teacher asks her to. DO NOT GET THIS APP!

The absolute worst app and a complete waste of money

My first grade daughters teacher recommended this app to the class and we have seen such growth in both confidence and skill in one month of using this app. It evaluates your childs starting point and then quizzes them first on addition facts and once those are mastered, it moves on to subtraction. She does it for 10 min a night and it has made such a difference. The first few nights she didnt want to do it, but we convinced her to stick with it and even my 6 year old is noticing results! Ive recommended this app to all my friends--instilling math confidence early is so important and this app has no frills, ads, etc and is fantastic for practice. I highly, highly recommend!!

This app is amazing for memorization of math facts...addition, subtraction, etc. My son knows his basic math facts so well now, he can focus his attention on learning more advanced concepts like decimals and fractions without stressing over basic addition and subtraction. There were periods of frustration where he felt he would never master certain problems, but he did. His confidence has increased tremendously.

Liked the old version of the app better. The new version of the app - the keypad section is so small my child gets frustrated because he accidentally hits the number next to what he was trying for. Plus - I had paid for the app for my older daughter, and when I went to add my son, the app told me it was out of date and had to be updated, but I had to pay a 2nd time for the new updated version - which is a step in the wrong direction from the previous version. Finally - there are some audio issues with the new version. Odd areas of static and cut off words. Love the website - very disappointed in the current app. Hopefully improvements will be made, and I wont be required to pay a 3rd time to get them.
