Interesting idea of making maths more enjoyable by treating it as a game. Visually colourful and draws you in to want to play. All you need to do is pass levels to earn coins to update your robot and stars to get badges sounds fun right? I believe that teachers can also print out certificates of achievements too. My only concern is you need to get two stars to progress to the next level. Someone has decided on the time it should take to get the max 3, 2 and 1 stars. If a child has motor function difficulties and does not answer questions fast enough they will repeatedly have to repeat the level. My question is learning maths about the ability to answer questions quickly or have sound understanding and knowledge? I know my son (who loves numbers and maths) would get bored of this and after all if a game makes it difficult to progress they will just stop playing and play a different game.

This app is a great idea - making the learning into a game. However, children don’t move as quickly as adults when they’re having to input the numbers. My son is getting frustrated because he is working out the answers perfectly but when it comes to typing it in, he’s losing speed and having to repeat the levels.

This app is just superb! The impact it has had and will continue to have on our school children will be immense. I cannot rate this highly enough!

On carbon fibre I’m half way through it and haven’t even got a piece of gear yet but still it is a good game

I really like this game but I want it to be free for school pupils and for it to be a bit quicker for loading
