Reviews

Some of our favorite reviews and quotes from around the World.

  • DragonBox is making me reconsider all the times I’ve called an educational app “innovative.”


    Wired, geekdad

  • I just wish you could see my two boys right now: one is 7 the other 4. We downloaded DragonBox yesterday and they are singing ‘easypeasy lemon squeezy’ as they play. They are totally into the game. Even my 4 year old has mastered the basics of algebra and plays like a pro! (I haven’t told him people call it algebra yet). What a game!

  • My eight year old son immediately sat down and ran through the first two banks of problems without hesitation. It was amazing.


    Christopher Wanko, CoolTools

  • Awesome integration of algebra and gameplay!

  • Congratulations on having captured the essence of equation solving. The beauty of mathematics is that it is a game with symbols. The symbols themselves are irrelevant, but the fact that they are traditionally denoted by x or y puts off many people. Denoting them by boxes or dragons does not change the game, but makes it more attractive and more transparent. Congratulations again, and I hope DragonBox gets the success it deserves, especially in the classroom

  • those of us who are struggling to bridge the gap between education and gaming can really learn a thing or two from what DragonBox has done here. If you thought that an app that is truly both educational and really fun, DragonBox is here to prove you wrong. And they’ve helped the industry take a giant step forward, paving the way for others to follow.

  • From our studies at Nittedal Videregående skole we have seen that game based learning has a huge potential with endless possibilities for creativity, problem solving and collaboration. DragonBox has been tested in our school with very positive results

  • Forfriskende annerledes, Endelig noen som tar tak i potensialet som ligger i dataspillformatet til å lære konkret, matematisk kunnskap. Som matematiker har det alltid forundret meg at matematikkopplæringen er så fokusert på tall. Matematikk handler ikke om tall som sådann. Matematikk er abstraksjon. Det er logikk. Det er regler. Det er … DragonBox.

  • I’ve tried Dragonbox on my 8 year old daughter. She has played through all the levels and now solve exercices many adults would have trouble with. The app is certainly as good as the media wants it. : D

  • I tried the game and I must admit it, I instantly loved it. [...] I understood that my students who played the game were not scared of algebra as my students were the previous years…)


    Adeline, French teacher

  • It is incredible how much my student can achieve. He usually struggles a lot in math, but he can this game and he loves it! Usually he gives up as soon as there is a challenge, but with the game, he is really motivated!


    Brigitte, Norwegian teacher

  • Seriøst imponert over #dragonbox — smart intro til algebra! Åtteåringen har nettopp brukt en halvtime på å isolere X :)


    @jorunn

  • Amazing! Miraculous! – Me, the 40 year old math teacher, stopped at level 10. My 15 year old daughter, however, who hates equations, but who knows this kind of games, suddenly started teaching me about “C” and “negative C “! Amazing..!!!

  • All family members loved it. The kids thought of it as a game, but solved advanced algebra. Our youngest is only five.


    Moira & Latsabben, app store review

  • Som 70 årig Siv.ing med begrenset spillerfaring var dette en flott opplevelse. Strevde litt med plasseringen av kortene og så ikke sammenhengen med algebra før PANG plutselig lå det åpent foran meg. Morsomt.


    A satisfied user

  • Absolute Magic!!! – I honestly don’t know how, but by the end of this game I was simplifying algebraic equations with ease! It was fun and satisfying and it actually works – mind = blown.


    Mighty Slaking , app store review

  • Pure genius – I am 45 and have never been any good at math. I long ago gave up hope of ever being able to do even simple calculations. Through this simple game, I have started to see math in a new light. Not as a jumble of numbers, but as repeatable and predictable patterns. Thank you for writing this excellent app!!!


    toddhd, app store review

  • Incredible – Finally a game that I want my kids to play. They actually learn algebra in one hour and they love learning it. WeWantToKnow – love to see your next products.

  • Malin! – Manipuler des images toutes bêtes pour apprendre les bons mouvements pour résoudre des équations, fallait y penser! On (re)découvre les règles des équations en s’amusant. Nice!


    Nico12341234, app store review

  • et genialt spill, utrolig! – 4 åringen løste brøkligninger i løpet av 1 time. Perfekt læringskurve på spillet. Dette gir ungene en god ballast før og under skolegang. Pappa fikk også frisket opp matten litt ja :-)


    nespen, app store review

  • Fantastisk spill – Jenten på 6 år som går i første klasse elsket spillet og spilte det Ferdig med 3 stjerner på 1,5 dag. Dette inneholder konsepter jeg selv synes var vanskelig på ungdomsskolen og vgs. Håper det kommer flere slike spill, genialt


    Trandre, app store review

  • Anbefales på det varmeste! – Fantastisk bra! Alle barne- og ungdomsskoler burde bruke denne app’en i matteundervisningen!!!!!! Håper på utvidelser til denne app’en eller flere nye matte-app’er fra denne utvikleren som virkelig forstår å visualisere matematikk, i tillegg til at det faktisk er et morsomt spill!


    —silla—, app store review

  • Revolusjonerende! – Har et håp om at det kommer et spill som kn hjelpe meg med å forstå matematikk på et høyere nivå som lineær algebra! Dette spillet er ikke noe annet enn genialt, engasjerende og morsomt.


    Anixion, app store review

  • Brilliant!!! The whole family is engaged in the mysticism of algebra. Thanks to the developers – and keep on serving us more exciting learning games.


    Poggio58, app store review

  • Gøy for 40-åringen også – Denne appen holdt mor i ro i over en time (2?) mens hun hevnet seg på dårlige minner fra skoletiden.


    Kias sa, app store review

  • Utrolig bra – Tiåringen løser alfebraoppgaver så det ljomer etter her. Forstår du ikke hva det har med algebra å gjøre, så må du bare spille litt flere brett. Denne skal jeg bruke på stasjonsundervisning på småskolen, Tenker jeg. Håper versjon til smart tavle kommer snart.

  • I just stumbled across Dragon Box, and…wow. My 6-year old played for about an hour and a half last night and has collected ~80% of the stars in the game – he can’t get enough. You have created a truly revolutionary learning tool, and I can’t wait to spring the ‘trick’ on him (that he learned real math) and start giving him word problems.

  • Gøy! – Seksåringen fullførte spillet i løpet av tre timer, og kan løse ligninger på Vgs nivå! Utrolig! Gleder meg til flere spill! Tro om ikke dette er måten å heve det generelle nivået i matematikk. Lag noen oppdateringer med enda flere og vanskeligere ligninger – dattera synes det ble for enkelt etter tredje runde :)
