7. Reviews from others on the Multiplication Genius“BAD choice if words by meliroseIt says perfect when you get an answer correct which is nice, but it uses the word BAD when you get it wrong. The app is okay but younger kids learning multiplication shouldn't have to hear they are bad or they made a bad choice. What about TRY AGAIN or INCORRECT. “

8. Reviews from others on Awesome Multiplication Flash CardsNo Reviews were found internet.“Wow, Mrs. Hinkson I didn’t know that you could practice big numbers in multiplication on flash cards.”- 5th grade student from Robertson Elementary

9. Recommendation For the benefit of the students I would recommend the Awesome Flashcards Multiplication, because it test all multiplication facts. It has the ability to test more complex problems and the Sound, if turned on, is repetitive for each part of the problem. This helps the student to get in a rhythm. The Multiplication Genius doesn’t test all facts in the free version, the sounds are very annoying, and you can’t turn them off.
