## Review summary

MathBoard Addition is praised for its educational value and easy, student-friendly design, with strong teacher-centric features for progress monitoring. However, reviewers repeatedly point to input and navigation friction (difficulty with column entry and finger input) and a lack of core features (subtraction, decimals, and fractions) that limit its usefulness until these are addressed.

### Pros

- Educational and engaging, helping kids learn addition.
- Not overwhelming and beginner-friendly for students.
- Teacher-friendly features like saving results for individual students for progress monitoring.
- Well-implemented and nicely designed; generally a solid educational tool.

### Cons

- Input and navigation can be clunky: column-based input alignment issues, limited direct digit entry, and finger-input responsiveness.
- Missing essential math features: subtraction, decimals, and fractions (with requests for more teacher controls like regrouping options).
