The latest app developed by myself and Shiny Things. Quick Math aims to improve your mathematics skills in a fun and challenging manner. Includes our own handwriting recognition engine that has been in development for over a year. Would love to hear anyones thoughts and comments.

This looks great! Congrats on the release, I hope this does well.
Some comments:
- In the Dutch Appstore description you mention that this is good for children in "groep 3, 4, 5, 6". In the US appstore you say "grades 3, 4, 5, 6". They are not equivalent. In the Netherlands six year olds are in "groep 3", so it's equivalent to US grade 1.
- The handwriting recognition worked well, but it's not perfect (of course) and I do have to write a bit differently than usual. I suspect it will be easy for me to get used to. I am glad there is no penalty for errors, that makes it less frustrating. Will test it out on my child later.
- There need to be user profiles. That's essential for a game that you market to both school children and parents. There also should be highscore lists in the game itself, not just in Game Center. Also: in Game Center I only see highscores for the Advanced modes, which is a pity.
- I would absolutely love it if there were an option to choose which time tables to test. That would be perfect for school children who have to train them. I have a few apps for that, but none that measure your progress so nicely and that purely focus on speed. I understand that that's not your focus with this app, but still, I thought I'd put the idea out there
All in all, I am very impressed (though the lack of user profiles would normally be a deal breaker for me in an app like this).
