Found this app very helpful, especially the videos explaining the calculations. The app has never crashed whilst using it.

After using it for a while it crashes. Nevertheless, good in terms of quick and easy access of information, bad in terms of an app.

Crashes when you try to answer a question. Not even a question in the test at the end, a question within the teaching of the metric system. Could have been really useful.

Can't watch the video, it's completely black, and it's constantly crashing on me. I'd be better off with pen and paper. Thanks, but no thanks.

This is a great app as far as teaching goes, but not so great for practice. Yes there is a quiz but it doesn't tell you which ones you got wrong or the mistakes you made that made the answer wrong. I would've liked to have known where I went wrong. Also, unless you're just a math whiz and have an organized mind, you will need a calculator and/or scratch sheet of paper.

Its a shame that the NHS probably spent thousands getting this built and I could build something better in 1 weekend at a fraction of the cost.
