Mental Math Master

I wrote a review a long time ago giving this 4 stars and mentioning some flaws I found with the app (primarily that multiple choice math questions are too easy to "cheat"). After something like two years, they've added an $8 full version but seemingly haven't added any features and it's still almost useless to me without an option to not use multiple choice, so I can't really recommend it, especially the paid version.

The game is awesome! The brain is a muscle and a game like this is the perfect workout. I'd like to ask the developers, though, if the calculations were meant to be solved completely, because most of the times I cheat my way out by just calculating the last digit and see how it fits with the given possible answers. Is this a legit way to play the game? Maybe in higher levels you get multiple choices with the same last digit. I don't know. Anyhow, the game is awesome.

I've only been playing for a few minutes, but it's definitely the best mental math game I've played. It ramps up the difficulty slowly, which I appreciate. Other games seem to jump from "not a challenge at all" straight to "impossible," which is not fun or very educational.

I like this game. Will update the edit when I've played a bit more. You have to know the tricks in math calcs to get the answer in 10 seconds. Only on the second level, but a good game to wake up from a mental fog perhaps. That, and plenty of water! Might buy this game. Love the honesty of the creator in wanting to buy a bike. And also ... no ads! Brilliant! Quick, easy and clean

This is a great app but I would really like if there where separate modes for addition and subtraction, or maybe just the ability to toggle different operations. I also really wish I could practice single digit addition/subtraction. Aside from that the app runs well and doesn't have any annoying ads.

I would say it's the best app out there. You can boost your mental maths by continuous practicing until you get perfect. All it takes is effort to try again until your brain gets used to it. Definitely would recommend anyone who wants a good, effective and useful app for maths. Truely worth it and the best part is it's absolutely FREE.

instead of doing multiple choice based problems, can you make a blank input line(this would consume time but it lets the user think for himself rather than just guessin) because base on my observations, only people who solve the problems really fast can benefit (they prefer faster games without having to type) but it might also fail slow users. im a slow math solver and dont found the choices helpful because everytime theres a problem, i have to look up and down, and its really hard.

Exercise curve is a bit too steep with no way to go back to earlier difficulties, leaving you failing and re-trying the same level that is too hard for you instead of getting more exercise on a less challenging stage before moving on. If u dont mind that, it's great.

Brilliant app, challenging 10 second questions and the ability to turn the timer off in practice mode! For either £6.99 or £4.39 (you have the ability to choose!) about the same amount as snacks for the 6th form maths class! I would highly recommend upgrading to unlock all the styles of question available on the app and support the developer :)

I've been using it for some time and even purchased the Pro version. But there hasn't been any update in years. Dear dev, if you read this, please add some new features. There are many ideas listed in other reviews (eg. option to switch off multiple choice or even get 5 answer options).

This is incredible! I wanted to find a math practice app just to keep my mind busy, but nothing for kids. This is exactly what I was looking for! Sometimes extremely challenging, because seriously I'm out of practice, and a great boost to the ego! If you used to be very good with math but have been away from classes for a long time, use this!

Just paid for the full version, really want to get better so seeing the correct answer really helps. A great extra feature would be if the answer didn't immediately pop up after you run out of time, but after you choose to see it so you can take your time figuring it out, and check yourself after :) game is still very good, just an idea

This app has a very interesting effect. It believe it specifically trains math instinct. Because you don't have sufficient time actually make a complete calculation much of the time, you are forced to go by "feel" and rapidly develop heuristics. Im not sure if the developer intended this, however I believe he has done something quite unique.

Terrible game play. Color selection makes some screens hard to read. Answers at bottom of screen but problems at top so constantly bouncing around and got a headache. Just figure out the last digit and you always have the answer. INSTRUCTIONS ARE MISSING. Unless you read these complaints you can't figure out how many points to advance and multiple other features. Game stopped at 3 points without explaining why. Much better math programs out there!

This been help me a lot multiplying and has boost my calculation speed. Just bought the premium ver, but the free version is still worth it. I don't even find ad! Thank you dev!

Great app for improving math skills. I really like the timer feature and the pressure that it adds. I think this app provides an excellent way to improve at a very useful skill!!

Really good app for practicing mental maths, the app would be even better if they added integrals, derivation and more options in the challenges because after a while it starts to get repetitive. But overall a really good app to improve your mental math skills and pass time.

Amazing app. My only gripe is tht the summation puzzles are a bit too hard to solve in 10 secs. I kinda had to keep pausing for some of the hard ones to advance to the next puzzle. Other than that keep it up!

Great for improving speed. Very unforgiving, just the way it needs to be. A suggestion would be to consider making the least significant digits in the multi choice answers the same in at least sometimes. Too easy in many situations because of that.

Wonderful app to substitute writing down y random ( at least you'll think they're random, at first) numbers then trying to base you calculations off of those. You could get 30 index cards, write numbers 1-10 for each 10 cards then shuffle to get random numbers but you cant pull that out in public without others potentially bothering you about it and then there's the fact that those cards will wear out and eventually have to get replaced. Instead of wasting time when you have to wait, use it well

Super weak! Impossible to do anything. Just filling this out hoping to practice. Seems like they just want my money. I know it's hard but let people play and you would have more interest in donating to your worthy cause. Maybe I missed the point and am computer illiterate? I don't mind working to unlock levels just having trouble playing. I'll give a better review if I can figure this out.

I liked a few things and I really didn't like a few things. I absolutely hated the timer and that it doesn't count if you don't use it. I like figuring out mental math slowly, not frantically trying to multiply double digit numbers in under 10 seconds

Perfect for training math Édit: If we could type the answer and reset our progression (if we stopped for a while) the app would be perfect ;) Edit : can't come back to a lower level after not playing a while it's hard..

Love this app! Great math training tool! I'd love to see more content added, like Trigonometry or Calculus, maybe eventually simple Differential Equations and even Linear Algebra. Already finished most of what's available and while mastering Arithmetic and Algebra is important, I think there should be more advanced content too.

It is such a big scam!!! First of all, unless you pay for the PRO version, you can only do 1 digit addition and multiplication, like 4 x(2+3). WOW. I've never seen such a stupid app, I agree. There should be a PRO, PAID version for each app, but the free version should include enough things to be able to tell if it's worth it to pay or not, just like Euclidea does...

A great app made by a single developer! However, I have one suggestion. Please add an option to answer by typing it. Rather than only giving us 3 options. In which you could easily solve the problems. I say this because in math tests, they will not give you options.

It is an awsome way to practice math skill and does not bombard you with ads and notifications. Although I would appreciate the ability to be able to write out the answers for a higher challenge.

Straightforward design free from distractions and relaxing to use, which is important for the frustration that can come with learning mental math. My favorite of all the mental math apps I've tried and the most helpful for doing well on exams.

I was blown away by the efficiency and simplicity of this app. Ad free (tho i intend to buy the premium once i get a job!) experience. Exactly does what it says, with easy mental calculation that progressively challenges you.

What even is this? I literally have no idea if I beat a level or if I failed it, but after each level it's asks me to pay 5 dollars....for what? I don't know. I don't even know what the other buttons do after each level. Has to be the most confusing game I've ever unfortunately purchased 🙄
