DragonBox Algebra 5+

Evil characters and monsters, girls do not like this, this app is made for boys. It's a very dark application and really takes away from the brilliance of the function of the app. Should have a friendly happy option for girls with happy avatars and grow something happy like a unicorn with accessories that girls want to see. My daughter likes the game play but complains about she doesn't like the monsters so she doesn't want to play. Noticed all good reviews were about their BOY loving the game. I would give 5 stars if it was friendly so she desires to play, isn't that the point?

As a former math teacher and a current homeschool teaching dad of three children, this game is outstanding! For anyone with a solid algebra background, it's easy to see the underlying math concepts from the earliest moments in the game. For everyone else, you just learn to play the game even though you may be unaware that you are balancing an algebraic equation each time. You just need to substitute numbers and variables in for the characters and there you have it. Brilliant! My children ages 8, 9 and 11 love it.

Games App developers need to incorporate much better practices when requiring unreasonable permissions - link with permissions explained one by one is a standard common practice now so why not do that +WeWantToKnow AS? Until I know why Dragon Box requires access to phonecalls I am not updating. Better would be to drop these requirements altogether as what does a game need to know about my phone stuff? #android #paranoid #developers #commonsense 

My two boys DEVOURED this game and still continue to play it over and over. I just discovered that there are more Dragon Box games and they are excited to get their hands on them. Great job guys!

Went thru the first 2 worlds and it was pretty dumb. My daughter got bored and she couldn't relate it to math. Maybe you should try to use numbers in the beginning so she could see a point to this. Another reason to use numbers is because it is math and math uses numbers. I know that sounds weird but it is true

Fantastic game for getting kids to understand equations and algebra. My daughter has been using it for a year (she is in first grade) and she has learned alot.

At first I was hesitant to introduce this to my 6 year old daughter, thinking she would get frustrated ave give up on it quickly, but just the opposite happened! The progression of the levels is well designed so she barely even notices the increase in difficulty and wasn't disheartened at all when the monster pictures turned into numbers and variables. She absolutely devoured the app and beat the game, bonus levels and all, with 3 stars on all levels, in 2 days. She's looking forward to getting her next app as a reward. (Any suggestions on which one it should be? ) I'd usually balk at the cost, but I think the app is well worth the price. Thank you!

My son enjoyed it and mastered all 5 levels, but was disappointed that there were no more levels. ☺

Great job guys, I am really impressed.My 6 years old enjoyed it so much and I feel that he learned a lot as well.Very well made and extremely useful.I just discovered the bonus levels,he will be so pleased :-).We will definitely purchase the other games too.Thank you very much.

Was amazed watching my five-year-old son figure out the problems. And while it would be a stretch to say he "knows the basics of algebra," he certainly has a grasp of how numbers interact. Would like to see them add more problems where you are truly solving for X where the answer is an integer, rather than problems that end up with groupings of letters and numbers. Also, if you end up on one side of the equation with something like 5.3, that it comes up 15. Showing the product like it does with addition and subtraction. On to DragonBox Elements...

this app makes no sense to me. yes it's well designed but how in earth is it teaching me algebra?

Decu, tres tres repetitif, au final peu d aspect pedagique sur la premiere heure, 5 euros par la fenetre, j aurais preferre essaye avant d acheter,.on m y reprendra plus avec un de vos produits

My kids, aged < 8 love to play this game. We need more games like this to improve everyones mathematical intuition.

So that means i love it! And it does an amazingly job teaching them !

In my opinion the cost for this app, compared to other apps, is very high.

My 8yr old loves it!

My 5 year old daughter loves it. It's about thinking strategy not the characters..

Very clever. 4 year old twins like to play and get it.

My 9yr old loves this game!

A fun introduction to algebra. Very intuitive.

Bam I know algebra!

It's awesome I love it

Awesome app for kids

My twins Love this app. My husband downloaded the free version of this for our twins on his phone. They were 6 at the time, now about 6 months later they can't get enough! Wish this was available when I was 14 and struggling with Algebra. Love This app!

My son had a problem doing his 3rd grade math, to my surprise the question was algebra. I remembered reading the review of this app in one of homeschool blogs and decided to buy it. Great investment so far, my kids love it!

Conceptually presents algebra rules and procedures in a way that is easy to understand and you don't necessarily realize the applicability until the animals turn to numbers

I bought it on a phone, but when I try to install on a tablet it shows me a cost and asks to confirm a payment.

this app makes no sense to me. yes it's well designed but how in earth is it teaching me algebra?

My 6 year old wishes they taught algebra in school now.This is an astonishingly brilliant app.

This fantastic app makes it easy to learn the basics of algebra.

Teaches children a bit about algebra

This helped me learn the basics is algebra and do problems I wouldn't even imagine being able to do without the help of this app. I failed algebra in high school poorly. If I had this app I most certainly kno.w I would have gotten an A. I recommend to anyone with children or any adult who just wants to brush up on their math skills! Only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because if you're stuck in in a level your just stuck. Wish there was a way for help

Dragonbox Algebra is an awesome app for kids! It's fun while giving kids a deep intuition for maths. I've seen 5-year-olds fearlessly tackle problems that we didn't see until high school. I wish I'd learnt maths this way!

Both my 9 and 11 year olds love this app. Helping with tricky bits has made things 'click' for me that never made sense in high school. Highly recommend.

The greatest ever. I'd buy stock. You are secretly learning algebra without realizing it's educational.. Just do it. Skip the trial since you'll have to repeat the levels when you buy the real one...and you WILL buy it. It's just that good. Bought it to brush up before my kindergartener gets to algebra, and not only is it reteaching me, it's teaching him too, and it's reframing a subject I've hated and made me become an algebra game addict. Kids week learn to love algebra way before school gets to make him hate it. My only COMPLAINT is that the opposite/night cards don't look opposite enough. They should be more obviously the same thing, just negative. As it is, it took awhile for us to always see the correct opposite card. But the whole series is fab. We just bought the new numbers game, way below algebra, but still cool.

It would be very useful to have suggestions/hints for those puzzles which children cannot solve so they can continue. Is there a reason this is not available?

Amazing app but for how short it is it is very costly and now another 8 something for next one. Kinda ridiculous . please lower costs

I just paid $6 for a game that 3 of us beat within hours. Now what?! I mean, we loved it, but...

My little guy loved this game. Challenging enough for a genius 5 year old and still one of his favorites at 7!

Truly great app. I installed this for my four and a half year old several months back. He worked his way through it almost compulsively. I think the dragons emerging from eggs is truly something that appeals to this sort of age range (or at least my son). By the end he managed to do an equation that I couldn´t do. And I have a phd in cognitive science? (although haven´t really done any equation solving for years before playing with this). The game itself is brilliantly designed. A classic in introducing complex concepts in simple visual ways. I think that properly this would be better for a slightly older child as it would be good for them to have some school experience to place what they have been learning in context. That said there is enough fun here to just let them fly at it. Well done dragon box. Just considering now when to have a go with elements.
