Ratings and reviews

I downloaded a few of these kind of games to find the best. And this was my favourite! You do have to watch a short ad after every game you play but it's still the best experience. I wanted an app that had a numbers game that I saw on an Australian game show called Letters and Numbers. I like how after you finish each numbers game the app shows you how the computer worked out the problem. Another app wouldn't even keep up all my math work. It would only show one calculation at a time.

It keeps the brain active but definitely based on American English. Many words which are in the O.E .D. are refused . Very frustrating

Gone in 60 seconds. Tried the first training round and was immediately blocked from using half the buttons by an ad. Closed the ad, clicked the "ad blocks features" option and was presented with the unclosable banner "ad removed by Google" in its place, you guessed it, BLOCKING MORE OF THE BUTTONS. Not sure if putting out a game where you can't use the controls is better or worse than those trashScape bastards and their straight up false advertising.
