✓ Fastest way to help your kids to get their tables downOnce your kids understand what +, -, x, ÷ represent mathematically, they only get faster/better at performing those operations by memorizing their tables. XtraMath speeds the memorization process by cleverly monitoring where you child's strengths and weaknesses are, and then only spending time on what needs work. In addition, I was super-impressed and grateful that they incorporated some features we needed for our child who found the standard program's visual timer, and time-to-answer period too intense (he has a process-speed LD). Thanks XtraMathers!.Version: 3.20.29
✓ I’m a veteran teacher & I ❤️ this app!I’ve taught 5th grade for 15 yrs & can tell you being automatic w/ math facts makes math so much easier. Not knowing math facts is like trying to read w/o knowing the alphabet. This app is well-worth the few $. I use the free desktop version in class, but I bought this for my own child after seeing how well it works. I’ve never had so much success w/ math facts. Most of my class has passed multiplication, & even those who haven’t yet have improved dramatically. I have students w/IEPs who “just won’t ever be able to memorize them” about to pass. They came in barely knowing their 2s. Now their down to a few 9s. 10 min a day is all it takes (& it tells you when you’re done). The app has you practice the ones you miss to help you improve. I tell my students to focus more on getting them right than being fast. That makes a huge difference in their success. I ❤️ this app!.Version: 3.22.41
✓ My kids ask to do their math everyday nowI almost didn't buy this app after reading a lot of the negative reviews. There IS timed math on this app and it did really stress my kids out. I had talks with them about how they need to practice working under pressure, because there are lots of times in life where you have deadlines and you have to remain calm, or you will screw up...not to mention timed math tests. I also told them that this is the perfect way to practice working under pressure because this app really doesn't do anything. It's not for a grade, just for practice. After our talk, my kids turned a new leaf and learned how to work calmly while having a timer. They now love the app and want to learn what comes next after they complete a program. There also is a setting where you can turn off the timer, but I think it's good for my kids and we keep it on. In summary, we love it and it's helped my kids learn life skills and not just math..Version: 3.20.29
✓ Amazing but..I think this app is great! But the amount of time you get before you lose a chance to get a smiley face... is kinda too fast for some kids. My child likes that. But I think you should be able to choose ( as a parent or teacher ) how much time you get. Because some kids get anxiety. But my kid finds it challenging and she likes that. Great app.Version: 3.20.29
✓ This app taught my kids Math!Our school brought xtramath to us and she learned her basic math. When my next child came, the school changed their progam but we were so happy with xtramath, we got the xtramath for him separately. Now he has learned his basic math skills. This is not a game, it is homework, so sometimes we have to push a little, but they love the completion certificates! We love this app and constantly recommend it, even back to our teachers who agree with us! It's a free app but now I need to send some thank you money!.Version: 3.20.29
✓ Its was pretty goodLots of people say it’s bad because it’s a bit hard at first but you just have to have patience with it and after a couple practices it will come easily because it was super hard for me at first to but I kept going and finished the program with hundreds in addition, multiplication, subtraction and division so if your teacher tells your or suggests your class to try this app know it really does help..Version: 3.20.29
✓ Great application for kidsFirst let me say that Parent5234 seems to coddle their children too much and is obvious by the review given. The teacher on screen is a guide to whether the child answered correctly or not and can be turned off if a child cries about a computer image on screen, the world is not all cupcakes and rainbows, wait till that child gets a job and has a boss telling them what to do. Second thing, yes the app is timed, but is by no means prohibits the child from learning, if your child is slow, then work with them instead of ignoring the true problem, your kid. Okay, now for my personal review. My 3rd grader is learning what is demanded of kids in 3rd grade and she is doing great. She may struggle, which is shown on her progress report, but it is all about practice. The progress reports are great because it shows their improvements. I am extremely satisfied with this application that I will now set up an account for my kinder child. That is the other positive things about this app, it has settings for different grade levels. Customer support is also a plus when questions come up..Version: 3.22.41
✓ Great resource for homeschoolers.I have a sixth, fifth, second and kindergartner using his program. We use it in the computer and app. It’s about ten minutes a day. They all ask to do it again. They really needed lots of help in getting the facts memorized. It uses their competitive nature to get them excited. We get a weekly update for each child. It’s been such a help!.Version: 3.22.41
✓ Please just add a secondThis game I loved but now I really do not like it I just wish if you guys could make it a little slower and add like two seconds to it so we can get smiley faces a little. There is this one kid in my class and he needs help on somethings and he is still in addition and I feel really bad so if you could just add a second that would help a lot. Please add a second please..Version: 3.23.56
✓ I love it 🥰This is best app ever then I do very bad x and / now I do more better thank you app.Version: 20.0.0
✓ Fantastic EducationThis App is the best app I ever had to help me learn math! I like that they give me time to get ready for typing in the answers. They help me know my multiplication and division quickly. They make it easy for me to understand what they mean. It only takes 10 minutes to do XtraMath. It’s easy and quick to do. I do 2 lessons each day. I was doing math slow but then I went to 3rd grade my teacher said to download this app so I did. It helped me a lot when I did my Test! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for helping me get better and quicker at math.😊☺️☺️☺️.Version: 3.23.56
✓ Great App!Hello! I started using this app in 3rd grade and it was boring and useless to me. I still didn’t know multiplication very well nor division. But, after the next few years, I became great! At first it may seem boring and stressful, but once you get used to it, it’s exciting and fun! However, I do have a cool suggestion! I think you should add themes to XtraMath. Such as like a magic theme, space theme, or even different colors for the layout! But I think there should also be a way in Settings to have no layout if your student/child would be distracted by it. It would be a fun idea though!.Version: 3.22.41
✓ The easiest and most efficient way for kids to gain essential math skills!Our school recommended kids to do Xtra Math and I am so happy that they did. Whenever my son asks for iPad to play games, I will ask him to do Xtra Math and then he gets to play. At first, he resisted but it only takes 5 min. so, I guess he realized he would just do it. He got frustrated first and every beginning of new segments but I told him, he would do better next time and he did. The key is to do it everyday, just 5 min..Version: 3.21.15
✓ Good game, but...Nice app! A little pressured, but still nice! My only problem is that sometimes you will be forced out of the app (or something of the sort), forcing you to sign back in. It doesn’t affect me now, but it did when it started happening, as it makes you “ race the teacher “ again! Twice! Sometimes, even three times! Still, a nice game nonetheless! Good job developers! Excited to see your next game!.Version: 3.22.41
✓ Great appMy daughter has been using this app for 2 years now with her school. I read some other parents reviews stating that their child had anxiety when the program would start. We had that at first, yes, but when I noticed it, I explained to my child that not only is it trying to get you to memorize your math facts, but if you do not know the fact, it shows you the answer to teach it to you. After she knew that, she wasn’t stressed. And if you use the app on a regular basis, your child will learn their facts quickly! And yes, it is seeing how quickly your child can answer these facts, because in school their teachers have to check that too. Parents, you should remember this back from elementary school. The only thing different is your child can use a computer and see if the answer is correct right away vs. you having to use your paper and pencil and not knowing right away if your answer was correct or not. Love the app 😍 can’t wait for my other 2 kids to get older to start using it!.Version: 3.21.15
✓ Great AppMy grandson’s first grade teacher used this app. He enjoyed using it and advanced many times ahead of his class so I contacted creator to request more math problems be added. I was always promptly provided return email and information I needed. My grandson ASKS to do XtraMath on the car ride to school, sitting and waiting for appointments. He just started second grade and we will continue using app regardless of if his teacher uses it or not..Version: 3.22.41
✓ Awesome Site!I've been using Xtramath for many years with my 4th grade students. I can't believe it is free to use. With regular use, my students master thier facts. At first, some students may be reluctant--probably because it is challenging them--but as they keep going they soon learn that practice does work--and works well! Quote from one of these reluctant students: "I didn't really like having to do this at first, but it really works, I really know my facts." This program adapts to individual students, focusing on the facts they have not mastered. Thank you so much for this amazing tool! XtraMath Rocks!.Version: 3.23.56
✓ Love this app. I recommend it for all elementary school kidsMathematics has been around for thousands of years. Every civilization since cavemen has practiced, taught and enhanced humanity using math. This app won’t make you mathematician genius, but in this day and digital age, where even infant interacts and learn from digital media and devices, this XtraMath app is an excellent tool/app for any kid till they perfect their basic addition, subtraction multiplication and division skills. It’s the daily practice of doing it in every day till it becomes part of your DNA is the best part of it. Help your kids with good tool/app like this. Try it and you’ll see the difference in your kids abilities to do quick math..Version: 3.21.15
✓ No sound !The website was very informative and sign up was easy. Did have one issue which was after downloading the app all sound would not work. I followed the available problem solving on website to no avail. Decided as a last attempt to restart iPad. Yay! Now all seems to be working well..Version: 3.20.29
✓ Taught me a lotThis app has taught me a lot of stuff that is now easy for me. In 3rd grade, I was really struggling with my math because, it was all multiplication and division. I was at a public school in 2nd and we were just starting to learn about multiplying. We didn’t learn division yet, and then I changed to a private Montessori school. And they were already doing like 4th and 5th grade math, so of course I was clueless!! But I was glad to get outta that public school. Now, I’m in a public school in 4th grade, and my teacher made us do XtraMath. And curious little me was wondering, “What is XtraMath?!” So, I tried it, I hated it. I didn’t realize that slowly over time, I was getting better multiplication!! And one day, I passed! I was so unbelievably happy and proud of myself!! Then I started division, I hated it, but eventually I got better and passed! Now I’m on the faster multiplication and I’m close to passing!! So thank you so much XtraMath for changing my life for the better! So anyway, long story short, BUY this app! It helps your child with adding, subtracting, multiplication, and division. It may not be that fun, but it’s worth it!! So buy this app for your kid, it totally works, I promise! Have a good day! 🤗🤗🤗.Version: 3.20.29
✓ Another way to do flashcardsJust started homeschooling and had my first and third grader start this program to help with math facts after having them do assessments for other math programs. I was a little surprised by their initial assessments and realized I could help if I was more consistent with flashcards for repetition. A few things to note: 1. It is not a curriculum 2. It is a tool to help with memorization. 3. It tracks progress and gives a weekly summary with it of your individual students. 4. You have the ability to remove the teacher during when it quizzes you or races.. I admit that my third grader didn’t like that, but I framed it for him to say that I wanted him to crush the teacher and it didn’t require seeing the teacher visibly. There’s a function that takes the visible teachers body language away so it’s just the flashcards. It’s been super helpful and to see him triple their accuracy rate and has given me time to help my newborn when they tackle it as flashcards at a consistent time. I really really enjoyed telling them that they have a numerical value with their progress that they can understand their improvements with memorization. I also remind them that they are in different grades so trophies come and go based on them as individuals. It has helped tremendously..Version: 20.0.0
✓ Great way to track multiple childrenWe love this simple straight-forward approach to math facts! I have a kindergartner, 1st grader, 4th grader, and 5th grader. They logon everyday for about 7-10 minutes for practice. As soon as they master one level, they move to the next. I can easily login and see if they have done their work and monitor their progress. My kids like that they can get on the app and get it done quickly. Now that we have been actively using the app for a month I’m seeing their school work improve and their simple mistakes decrease. I can’t believe the app was only $5. I wish they had an one for sight words!.Version: 3.20.29
✓ Wonderful custom options!I’ve had the same complaints that others have had but now the custom option gives a little more time to those still working on their math facts and found the 3second time frame terrifying. My 8 yr old daughter knows her math facts but not quickly and the 3seconds discouraged her, making her want to give up and she said she “felt stupid.” The custom 6seconds allows her to practice without continued failure. Thank you so much for adding in this vital component. If you are considering this app, be sure that your child has strong number sense FIRST. This year we begin multiplication (we homeschool) so fast recollection of addition and subtraction is necessary. Thank you to Xtra math for listening to the reviews and making an even stronger program to assist those who don’t operate under the shortest of times..Version: 3.21.15
✓ What a wonderful app for educatorsI use Xtramath ALL the time with my students. I run a tutoring company and Xtramath is hands down the most efficient way to solidify basic arithmetic facts with my students. I often use it as a warm up at the start of each session just to get the mental gears running which gives me a few minutes to gather my materials and plan out what we’ll be doing later, all while they can slowly but sure get their facts down. I even use it with older students in JHS and beyond if I feel they need help with facts. It saves me time and effort not finding/creating fact sheets and it’s more dynamic than simply having them fill out addition or multiplication charts as it emphasizes speed and accuracy of the fats that they struggle with. Not to mention their analytics are extraordinarily useful as well giving me a solid insight to their progress. 10/10.Version: 3.22.41
✓ Only a few minutes a dayReally like that it is set up so the kids only have to do a few minutes each day, so it sharp and quick. It gets results!.Version: 3.22.41
✓ A great app for kids to become comfortable with basic arithmeticXtra Math has helped my children excel at mathematics. If you want this app to be effective you have to encourage your kids to use it as often as possible, preferably daily. If you do this, it should be impossible for your child not to grow. This app does not teach the concepts, it is exactly what the name suggests: “extra” practice. Your child should already have learned the concepts before sitting them down with this app. I like this app for my kids because it’s no nonsense, no fluff, just straight up timed addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. With reading, we expect our children to move on from sounding out each word to “sight reading”; this app basically does same thing but for mathematics. My kids are no longer calculating each answer in their heads, they now sight read the problem and spit out the answer super fast. At first, it was a bit of a grind trying to get the kids into the habit of using the app but after awhile they started to enjoy it and loved that they would receive a score at the end of each session and would use that to challenge themselves and each other. Often they would proudly tell me how many happy faces they were awarded at a time. This app gets results and I highly recommend it..Version: 20.0.0
✓ Love it!I have my children practicing their math facts over the summer and they love this app! They are in 5th, 6th and 7th grade. Like some of the other reviews said, I can see how it would be frustrating for younger kids, but my older ones love it. I teach 5th and 7th grade math and it’s so difficult for students to work on fractions and other advanced concepts when they have to spend a lot of time figuring out their basic facts. They get frustrated because math homework takes them so long. I never understood the need for speed with math facts until I started teaching. Now I do and this app is incredibly helpful!.Version: 3.22.41
✓ Love itI am in grade 6and it’s vers hard to memorize multiplication but nos I am mord good and this app help me so much..Version: 20.0.0
✓ Excellent resultsFast and very effective won’t regret it excellent results.Version: 3.23.56
✓ Great math practiceMy daughter struggles in her math, but not enough to receive extra help at school, I’ve seen her math skills improve after using this app. I like that it’s no frills and the “reward” is getting a correct answer and not something happening on the screen. In real life, things don’t explode or jump out at you when you succeed..Version: 3.21.15
✓ Practice makes perfectMy child uses this app in the classroom and the teacher suggested using it at home. Yes my child may have cried a few times but a pep talk is all they need. This app makes them push themselves and makes it challenging by using a timer but they do timed math at school. The more you practice math with your child the easier it will be for them..Version: 3.23.56
✓ Good appGreat app, it helps my dyscalculia. But maybe you could lower the price?.Version: 20.0.0
✓ A great toolMy daughters teacher started the class on this program pre pandemic. She has continued with it in the days since the school closures were announced. It is a quick 5 minutes per day that she does without complaint, the results for her are fantastic. There were some minor grumblings at the start, but now she can see the improvements and sets new goals for herself (I got x right without a mistake etc.) Thanks for the app!.Version: 3.23.56
✓ I love usIs that is is amazing helps me so good please make another one soon I love this so much.Version: 20.0.0
✓ Love!As a HS mom we’ve used this for years! every day my kids go through it - 10 min tops - seriously awesome.Version: 20.0.0
✓ MathLooks like a great app but it froze a lot on me today. Please fix it..Version: 3.1.4
✓ Love this!This app is perfect for my 1st grader. Simple, and the right amount of challenge/competition. (To whoever complained it caused your 5 year old to cry? Yikes! Lay off! 5 year olds shouldn’t be memorizing math facts unless they want to!) Also- WHY are kids allowed to rate apps like this? Who actually thinks they can adequately gauge whether an educational app is helpful for them or not?.Version: 20.0.0
✓ I love it!I love this app and it really has help me with my math and I really do recommend this app 🤩5/5 stars!.Version: 20.0.0
✓ Loveeeeeeee ittttttIt has helped me improve in math and my teacher can change it to any math and u don’t even need to pay u can always just search it on Safari and it will still work.Version: 20.0.0
✓ Decent practice tool.This app would not be good for learning math, but for getting faster it is great. The lessons are short, so my daughter doesn't mind doing it once or twice a day and I have definitely seen an improvement in her speed. CONS: I wish the number key pad was a little larger. Sometimes she accidentally pushes the wrong number because of the key size. It can be discouraging. In the beat the teacher rounds she can become frustrated because it doesn't give much time to answer. She ends up frazzled quite a bit. All in all, it does a decent job though..Version: 3.20.29
✓ TrashIt is totly trash.Version: 20.0.0
✓ Helped so muchWe had such a terrible year last year we had to change schools. My 4th graders 3rd grade teacher did nothing with them. I would ask if she was ok and if we could do something at home. He said she was great. She went from the upper 90th percentile end of year testing to failing it! She’s my oldest, I didn’t know what they were teaching, I trusted she was doing well as she has done every other year. We had SOOOO much to catch up on over the summer to get her back where she was. Her new school uses this app. It helped sooooo much! It’s a fun game way to teach them the very basics, such as times tables, that makes the advancing math so much easier for her to learn and do. I cannot thank the creators enough, or recommend this app enough!.Version: 3.22.41
✓ XtraMath BrilliantThis is a BRILLIANT program, very well designed. My students are mastering their ‘math facts’ with confidence. The tips have helped my dyslexic and struggling students, the improvement is outstanding. Math and Xtra Math is their favourite subject now!!! I highly recommend this AWSOME program 😊.Version: 3.22.41
✓ Excellent for multiplication and division tablesLet's face it - the kids can't spend time figuring out basic multiplication and division when they should be focused on learning new math topics. My daughter ended up completing the mult and div tables twice - once at two different schools. It's one of the best things we ever did for her early math progress. My daughter and I tutor kids in math, and I am continually surprised by how many students don't have these basic, essential skills. Just have your child complete this. You'll be glad they did..Version: 20.0.0
