Math Kids: Math Games For Kids reviews
What users love and hate · 500 reviews analyzed · ★ 4.5
A free math game for preschoolers and early-grade kids built around the character Lucas: parents are won over by the «no ads, no subscription» promise but frustrated that the hints hand over the answer and the child learns to tap, not to count.

Free, no ads, no subscription — the parents' headline reason
The same point comes up again and again: the app is fully free, with no ads, no upsells and no paid subscription. For budget-conscious parents and volunteer teachers, that is precisely why they install it and trust it.
great game. it's free and no ads. idk why it's not rated high but this is great for kids with free time.
Finally an app that gives kids a safe place with NO upsells or ads.
Thank you for your ad free and subscription free apps !!
Kids genuinely start doing arithmetic — adding, subtracting, multiplying
Parents describe concrete progress: a five-year-old learned to add and subtract within a couple of weeks, a child can now «add up to 20», a sibling learned to divide. These aren't vague compliments but an observed jump in skill.
For the past 2 weeks my son has been playing this game and now he's very good at maths.he is just 5 years old and he is very good at adding, subtraction and multiping
i like it my son he going well now he can add up to 20
my child did not now math but now she nows1+1=2
The Lucas character carries engagement — kids learn without noticing
The bond with the character Lucas and friends turns the lesson into play: kids «don't even notice they're learning» and won't put the tablet down. Teachers and volunteers note it's the characters that hold a class's attention.
I downloaded this app for my younger sister and she didn't even notice she was learning and she is now addicted to learning without noticing, love it
This app builds relationship between kids and the characters which makes them love to use the app and learn.
I'm a volunteer teacher. I love Lucas coz it's so entertaining yet very educative
A safe alternative to «violent» games — parents feel calmer
Parents explicitly contrast the app with shooters and violent mobile games: the child is busy with age-appropriate educational content that builds thinking and focus. It's a strong emotional reason to stay.
This app is a wonderful alternative to violent mobile games. I’ve noticed it helps my children improve their thinking skills, concentration, and overall learning habits while having fun.
Its improve the good behavior and cognitive of my children unlike the violent games.
I like this game! it's a fun exercise for math! instead of playing silly games, the child learned math
A lifesaver for homeschooling and the classroom when the parent is busy
It fills a real need: it helps parents who don't have time to teach the child themselves, and first-time homeschooling teachers. Whole families use it (4 kids) and it's used in classrooms.
good for our kids more especially when you don't have enough time to teach your kids
Amazing app. All my 4 kids use it. Highly rated. Thank you. Great support while homeschooling them.
AMAZING Nothing can compare first-time mom and home schooling. my son is in love I'm in love.

Hints can't be turned off: a hand just points to the answer
The core systemic bug: a parent unchecks «hints» in settings, yet after 5 seconds a hand appears anyway, pointing straight at the correct answer. The child never gets to think and just taps where it points — defeating the whole purpose of a learning app.
Disabling hints in settings doesn't disable the little hand pointing to the answer. Defeats the purpose of a learning app.
I unchecked the box in settings but if you wait 5 seconds, there's a hand that points to the answer in the game.
good concepts but doesn't give the kids enough time to figure out the answer before giving them the answer
There's a mindless mini-game where the child hides from the math
The app exposes a pointless point-and-click game, and the child slips into it without solving any problems at all. Parental controls don't block it — for a learning product that's a hole in the core mechanic.
annoying because it has a totally mindless point and click game the kid can access so he just does that and no math
How is any kid going to learn anything from this game if it just gives them the answer? Totally USELESS.
well it is childish why not make a trophy
It's hard to quit — even parents are baffled by the close button
Quitting the game is hard even for an adult: a non-obvious close button turns «time to hand back the phone» into a fight, especially when the child won't let go of the tablet.
Quitting from the game is very difficult even for parents. See how their close button works.
my kid loved it so much he would never take it off his phone even when I try to take his phone away he's the scream until I give him his phone back
I love it do not take me to play store pls pls
Crashes on the splash screen and freezes on the stickers — you just close it
Some users can't get past the door: the app sticks on the title screen and never opens, or freezes at the stickers stage with closing it the only way out. There are also glitches that scare the child.
Gets stuck on the title screen, did never open successfully.
It gets stuck at the stickers and won't go any further. We just have to close it.
I have a problem some times it glitch and it's so scary
Safety alarm: the child reportedly reaches «adult» content
Several parents are seriously alarmed: by their account, the child gets from the app to «adult» YouTube or an «adult only» tab via a basic number test. Even if it's an edge path, for an app «for the littlest ones» that perception is a reputational risk.
my kid can Easily access adult You tube with a basic number identification test. We need to in sist on safer apps
could be more helpful to kids, my kid opened adult only tab
This in Roblox are like pedophile portals and I don't need them on my computer
Too easy and «babyish» — older kids get bored
The content is pitched at first-grade level, and for older kids (12+) the tasks feel primitive and dull: «a baby game because the maths is so easy». What's a plus for a preschooler is a reason for an older child to quit.
it's a baby game because the maths is so so so so so so so easy
it's for -5 ages and yaeh it's boring for 12+kids
advanced 2 digits addition isn't even that hard
It used to work offline, but after an update it needs Wi-Fi
Part of the app's value was working without a connection — key for kids on the go and families with poor internet. After an update users complain it now needs Wi-Fi, and ask whether it can be played offline at all.
I was a little to old, but it was enjoyable. until it updated to need wifi
too good game and i like it . can you fully play this game without network connection
it's nice for kids but same of the games are played offline
