"Mathogen is frighteningly addictive. Not only is it beautiful to look at, the gameplay mechanics offer a near-perfect balance of work and play."
"This app is simply fun and the music is soothing. Money well spent! The bonus is that it helps with the simple arithmetic. This app would be good for kids of all ages."

"This app is easy to play and fun for all ages! I played it my entire lunch break. I can't wait to show it to my 4-year old niece so that she can improve her math skills!"

"I haven't bought many apps, but I sure am glad I got this one. It just came out and I'm hooked. Fair warning though...I've already gotten into fights with my wife and daughter because they want to play this app too. My daughter is just learning basic math and already after only a couple of hours it seems like she actually likes math and wants to play (shhh...learn). Oh well, whatever gets kids to want to learn. Great app, recommend it to everyone."

"As a parent, I've just about given up hope finding an educational app that will hold my children's attention for longer than 5 simultaneous plays. But just as I was about ready to write off it's existence entirely, the ever elusive app introduces itself as 'Mathogen!'"

"Fun little math game, it's simple but addicting. Great for my kids to play to practice their math skills. Keep up the good work, i look forward to future updates."
