Well conceived game style with UX flaws and overly simple definition of "algebra"

Note: despite my critical review to follow, I still think you should give this to your kid to play. It teaches the very beginning concepts of algebraic manipulations in a way that kids can grasp at a much earlier age than is typically taught. The critical stuff: From what I can tell this game only covers the simplification of equations which is hardly the "basics of algebra." It is cute, fun, and addictive but is only tutoring algebra in the utmost basic sense. From what I can see, there is no real purpose to chapters and levels. Once you get past the introductory phase of the game, the chapters and levels all appear to be the same. There are some quirks, bugs, and just arbitrary unintuitive decisions in the UX. Too many to detail here but the most glaring one is the choice to place the card row behind the window drag bar making it extremely difficult to select a card without accidentally dragging the entire viewport. The artwork and general style of the game is catchy and well made. The smuggling of algebraic concepts via arbitrary symbols is clever. I'd love to see a version of this game that continues past the mere simplification of equations and on to actually doing algebra.

I looovve it!

Fantastic! I would pay more for additional puzzles.

This game is beloved by my math loving son, who learned algebra with a great deal of help through this app. I wish there were 10x as many puzzles! There's enough puzzles to introduce each concept (and it's really broken down to tiny incremental conceptual steps brilliantly) but not enough to get to mastery once all the concepts are introduced. I'd happily pay for additional puzzle packs beyond the existing ten levels! Just give us more exercises!

Spelling errors

Hard to spend $20 on an educational app that has spelling errors. You have a “no trail” and a “7-day free trail”. What kind of trail? Is it a trail where we go hiking? Did you mean “trial”? I think trial was on my second grader’s spelling list. If you can’t even have someone proofread your most basic app screen, how am I supposed to send you $20??

Absolutely wonderful

So much fun

Paid but still can’t play

A frustrating waste of time and money. I purchased algebra 1 one time for a bit over $20 opted for the one time purchase but I continually get the message that I don’t have any games. No customer service to speak of they take the money and run.

Incompetent rip off artists

Bought this for $19.99 and after a few days it completely stopped working. Every time I start the app, it prompts me to purchase a plan again, then when I go through the flow to repurchase, Apple says that I already purchased it, then when it prompts me to “get it again for free” the app gets stuck forever on a loading spinner. The programmers of this app have no idea how to implement the functionality to allow customers to use the app that they have paid for. Do not under any circumstances give these people your money.

Sad

I’m very disappointed in this. I owned this game a few years ago before Kahoot! bought out DragonBox. It is ridiculous that I have to pay to play something I have used in the past. I will most likely end up buying this, but I am still upset about how the app was changed.

Apps shouldn’t be listed as free unless they’re truly free

It’s not good product design to list something as free on the App Store and gate the experience immediately. If you offered a lite version or limited features with a pay to upgrade in app purchase I would be all on board. But this did not.

You have to pay for it

This game was shown in a ted talk and i thou i might as well brush up on my high school math, but you have to pay six bucks a month for it. Rating this three stars because it looked like a genuinely fun math game in the ted talk and i was very interested to try it.
