★★★★★Happy parentsJames Mitchell

“Appu's visual method has genuinely made my daughter faster at mental arithmetic than her classmates. She sits down with the book on her own. I didn't expect that at age 7.”

Father of Ella, Grade 2 · Sydney, AU

★★★★★Grade 1 - UKSarah Chen

“We discovered Appu on YouTube and were amazed by how much our daughter enjoyed it. The video book takes it a step further. She now does her maths practice without being asked.”

Mother of Lily, Grade 1 · London, UK

★★★★★Worth it!Rachel T.

“We homeschool and I was looking for something to supplement our Grade 3 math curriculum. This fits perfectly. The videos explain each concept clearly and my son can rewatch them as many times as he needs without getting frustrated. It's become part of our daily routine. Worth every penny.”

A proud homeschool mom, Ohio

★★★★lovely animationsClaire

“We came across Appu on YouTube. My daughter was already a fan of the character so getting the eBook felt like a natural step. She sits with it on the iPad after school. Her confidence in maths has genuinely improved this term. Her teacher noticed too...”

Mum of 7 year old

DL
★★★★★Seen great outcomeDave L.

“Good content, my son enjoys the videos. Took him a few days to get used to the format but once he did he was hooked. SO much better than doomscrolling on Youtube or something. Would be great to have Grade 4 as well. Hoping they release it soon. For now we have all three grades and are working through them slowly.”

MO
★★★★★One time payment is greatMonica

“As a mother of three I am always looking for things that actually hold a child's attention while being educational. This does both. My 6 year old goes through the pages herself and taps the videos when she's stuck. My 8 year old uses the Grade 3 book. Both are genuinely engaged during study time. I appreciate that there's no subscription. One payment and done!”

Mummy to three little ones

AN
★★★★★Helpful with all learning typesAndy

“My son has mild learning difficulties and traditional textbooks have always been a struggle. The visual approach here works so much better for him. Watching Appu explain something once or twice is more effective than him staring at another worksheet with no idea what to do.”

NI
★★★★★All 3 gradesNisha

“Bought the bundle for two kids. The older one picks it up herself after school. $49 for all three grades, no recurring fees, no app to manage. Incredible value.”

Mother of twins

SS
★★★★★A happy momSara S.

“My daughter is in first grade and has always been a little behind in math. We tried a few apps but nothing really stuck. A friend recommended this and honestly I wasn't expecting much. Three weeks in, she's doing addition on her own and actually enjoys it. The Appu videos are short enough that she stays focused. Really glad we tried it.”

A mom of 6-year-old, Texas

AM
★★★★★Preview firstAmanda

“I highly recommend trying the free pages first before buying. They offer a preview option. My daughter was engaged from the first video so I went ahead and got Grade 1 and 2. We're about a month in and the difference is noticeable. She's quicker at mental maths and far less anxious about it. Really solid product!!”

Mum of happy daughter

JA
★★★★★MagicalJames

“Bought this for my son who kept saying he hated math. Two weeks later he asked me to open the book. I don't know what Appu does differently but it works like magic. The animation keeps him engaged and he truly understands what he's learning!”

Dad of 6 yr old

MA
★★★★Good use of screen time!Mark

“Honestly wasn't sure about giving my child more screen time but this came recommended by more than 3 friends. This is different from just putting something on in the background. Great!”

SU
★★★★★Keeps my kid calmSunita

“We moved to the US from India last year and I was worried about my daughter keeping up with math at her new school, while also adjusting to a whole new environment. This helped a lot. The content is clear, well structured and the Appu elephant made her feel comfortable with it from day one. She already knew Appu from YouTube which helped with the transition! We are going to get G2 and G3 next.”

Mother to 7 year old. Moved countries.

LU
★★★★★He's HOOKEDLuke

“Great product. My son went through the Grade 1 book in about 6 weeks and retained most of it. The play button on each page is a simple but clever idea. He knows he can figure things out on his own without asking me every five minutes. Bought Grade 2 immediately after...excited to see how he does with this.”

★★★★★Grade 2Hugo K.

“Works well on the iPad which is mainly what we use at home. No issues loading the videos. The content for Grade 1 covers everything my son is doing in class and the explanations are easy for my son to follow on his own...”

TL
★★★★★Seen improvementTina L.

“I was skeptical because my daughter has tried a lot of math apps and lost interest quickly. This is different because it feels more like a book than a game, and the videos are actually teaching something rather than just rewarding her with points. She's been using Grade 2 for six weeks and her times tables are noticeably better. Would recommend!”

JO
★★★★★Joann

“I bought this for my granddaughter's birthday because her mum mentioned she was struggling in school. Her mum called me last week just to say thank you. Apparently she's a different child with maths now. That phone call was worth more than the price of the book....thanks Appu team”

Happy grandma

★★★★★Independent learning has improvedMikki

“We homeschool and finding resources that actually holds my son's attention is a constant battle. This book is the first maths resource where he self-corrects. If he gets something wrong, the instant learning through each short video is exactly what we needed. That independent learning loop is special. Already purchased Grade 2.”

“Bought this at 9pm a few days ago, after yet another homework battle. Instantly used it and my son used it once, just tapped the button, watched the video, finished his worksheet without asking me a single question....still stunned!”

Surprisingly useful

AP
★★★★★April

“Always been a bit hesitant to load more screen time on my kids, who are already glued to the TV nomally and always asking for more screen time, but this came to use highly suggested. So I took the leap. They've been using it for a week now and are loving it. I'm also quietly enjoying the downtime I get when they're busy with Appu animations. A win-win.”

★★★★★Results in 2 weeksRakesh Kumar

“Worth it just for the addition videos alone. My son watches on repeat. The play button on each page is so clever, he doesn't need me to explain anything anymore.”

Father of Rohan, 6 years

GE
★★★★★Georgia

“We've tried literally everything out there, Edtech platforms, worksheets, three different apps. My son would do them once and lose interest. With this he actually asks to open it. I don't know if it's the Appu character or the format but something clicked. We're three weeks in and he's doing addition independently for the first time!! Wahoo!”

LE
★★★★Lexi

“The thing that sold me to purchase was watching my daughter tap the play button herself when she got stuck instead of yelling out to me. This was in the preview version. I highly suggest trying the preview first. Would be great to have more variety, but so far great.”

KE
★★★★★Massive improvementKeegan

“I was skeptical because we've been burned by apps that are basically just games hidden behind the face of math learning. This is different. My son watches Appu explain the concept and then does the work. He's not just simply tapping away to collect points. His teacher noticed the difference this semester...”

Happy dad of 3

★★★★Logan

“Honestly: it took about a week for my daughter to get into the routine of it, but now it's working. Try the preview before purchase.”

★★★★★Hillary K.

“The content is solid, the videos are short enough to hold her attention, and the character makes it feel like learning with a friend rather than being taught at...my daughter absolutely adores Appu and Tiger.”
