    Ultramarina - we only have Android phones too. Dragonbox works really well on the Samsung S3 mini even. The screen is plenty big enough.

    so, it's not DS5.3 who I got it for who loves the game ... it's our DS3.5 who plays it every day! lol I'm guessing it's because the younger one can read the instructions while the older one can't! lol

    I'm not 100% sure it's worth $6 but it's a fun app that is not like anything else out there and DD loves it. I might have to get her the second one soon. Math is definitely her forte but what I find really cute are her reactions to the animation as they are so on target for a three year old girl. "Oh, the fish ate the letters and numbers? I have to do more because he might still be hungry!"

    I downloaded DragonBox a earlier this week based on these comments and all my kids love this game. My dd8 plays it as one of her night time relaxation games and this is the one who likes to act like she hates anything with learning involved. Thanks!

    DS5 is loving the game. I haven't shown it to DD9 yet. I actually enjoy it too, despite having math phobia. The interesting thing is that I find I have to think of it as algebra at times, or I flub it a little. If I think "solve for x, self," then it becomes easy, but if try to play with beginner's mind, so to speak, I will only get 2 stars, etc.

    I finished the first Dragonbox in one day and had to buy the second one, which I came close to finishing that day as well! laugh Despite the fact that it was a total of $16, I think it will be well worth it for both of my kids. They slowed down on it, mostly because it's on my iPad, but they'll both get through it eventually and we can always drag it back up when it becomes necessary for various bits of learning. A nice refresher course, as it were.

    I suppose I'll probably have to buy it again for their tablets that they are getting for Christmas. That's when it starts getting expensive!

    lol - true! they should have a family app rate I think - where you can add it to 4 devices. I think that would be great!

    If you have all apple devices, just link the new tablets to your itunes account. The boys' ipads are both on my account. When we get a new game, it shows up on all three ipads. If it's not appropriate for one of them (too easy, too hard, etc..) , I manually delete it from his ipad screen. But it's always there in my itunes account if I want to add it again.
