Not suitable for 5 year olds. Our son's school asked that we start using numbots in year 1. All it's achieved is damaging his confidence and instilling a reluctance to do maths. This is a shame, as he is capable. The problem: All levels are timed... and not much time is given. Our son gets all the answers right but does not progress through levels as he doesn't do it quick enough, leading to frustration and a dwindling desire to continue. Other apps are better. We don't use numbots any more.

Good practice although very very repetitive (I guess that's the point). Currently won't let us past level 56 despite getting every question right. We've tried it about 6 times and it only gives one star so have to repeat the level. It seems to be impossible to get 3 stars (I'm a maths teacher and even I can't get them doing it super fast and 100% accurate) but now we are completely stuck. Help please!

My daughter loves it. The speed you need to get 3 stars for progress is a good challenge. I dont think the time needs extending on the levels because quick thinking and quick math is important. She does struggle with some of the less common pop ups and doesn't know what to press to continue but otherwise has no issues with the challenges.
