Pros and cons of Math Tricks app for iPhone and iPad

Math Tricks app good for

Actully it needs more tricks and needs tobe broad like not only number by number However, I like it ^^

Great app!!! Well done, very helpful, we wish to learn more! My daughter enjoyed it very much! Thank you

Great app. Works great. Easy to use. Learned all the lessons in no time.

Im 28 and love this app! It is challenging and I can not believe that I can do these type of math problems in my head!

This app is well worth the price; hopefully thel will make many updates. If you do not have a caculator handy, this makes for a perfict fill-in!

This is my first review and Id like to say I love this app. As the previous reviewer mentioned, I hope to see many more updates. I have a trick if youd like to incorporate that in your application. If you want to divide any number by 5, simply multiply it by 0.2. In other words, double the number and move the decimal one unit to the left. Example: 67/5 = 67 x .2 = 13.4 Keep up the good work.

Some bad moments

It is too easy to just guess the answer. Most of the choices are obviously not applicable - takes away from the fun.

Dont buy this app unless ur n third grade. Not worth it. Trust me!!

Doesnt apply to many numbers or structures. Neat info though.
