Reflex Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of the company is notably negative, particularly regarding its educational product, which has been described as stressful and ineffective for children. Common concerns include a lack of engaging content, overwhelming pressure to perform, and poorly designed game mechanics that lead to frustration and anxiety among users. Customers frequently express dissatisfaction with the character designs and the overall user experience. Despite teachers endorsing the program, student feedback overwhelmingly suggests it detracts from the learning experience rather than enhancing it. There is a clear call for alternative platforms that offer a more supportive and enjoyable approach to math education.

Downright Horrible
May 24, 2023

Coach penny isn't even close to being a qualified coach the only good game is alien sundae and that game isn't even that fun. The rest of the games get boring after 10 mins or even less. Just to mention we have to do to puzzles just to play any of the games and depending on how much time you get to do reflex you may not even be able to play the games because coach pennies picture puzzle can take anywhere from 15 to a whole half and hour just for 2 puzzles. And that might not seem like a lot but for a math game it really is. DON'T HAVE YOUR KIDS DO THIS ITS NOT FUN AND VERY BORING. Use prodigy instead its much more fun its also free they have 2 fun modes reading and math. Math is better but both are very fun. Use prodigy instead of this. Its boring. Doesn't really help anyone. Ill raise my rating when they alter or remove coach pennies picture puzzle. And by alter i mean removing one of the puzzles or completely removing coach pennies picture puzzle. Crabbies fact fair is already lots of facts. And just to add more insult to injury by adding coach pennies picture puzzle makes it the worst math game to learn from. And sure the avatars are cool but thats the only good thing i can say about this game. If they remove coach penny from the game that would be amazing. But i bet they won't ever listen to us so no we will have this forever. DONT GIVE YOUR KIDS THIS IT"S VERY BORING AND A WASTE OF TIME. Would not recomend.

Wretched
May 23, 2023

This "game" is one of the worst websites I have ever used. It barely teaches math and stresses many kids out. The Coach Penny Picture Puzzle is very repetitive and it does not give enough time to answer along with the fact that you have to do multiple puzzles. The games are terrible and the art is horrible.

Good but not best
May 23, 2023

I think you should only have to do one picture puzzle because the second picture puzzle wastes your time. I also don't like how many glitches reflex has. It's also super easy to get to 100% facts fluent. So I think they should make it harder. To make it harder you could make it 2 times harder to get a fact fluent. Also the addition and subtraction version is way too easy the hardest equation is 10 + 10. The multiplication and division one should also go up to 13 x 13 and 169 13. The addition and subtraction should go up to 20 + 20 and 40 - 20.

Don't like it
April 26, 2023

It's not what I want from a math program. It tells me that I could do better, not bad and do better next time. The picture puzzles aren't helpful and all they do is waste time. Coach Penny isn't helpful at all!

Awful
March 29, 2023

This "game" is awful. I have to waste all of my time just to get a green light. If anything, this makes me feel DUMBER. I started playing this during 3rd grade and this game rotted my brain. I was the only kid in my class that was horrible at adding and subtracting. And now I'm in 5th grade, and every other kid in my class agrees this "game" sucks. Use prodigy instead. It actually teaches you and is fun. By the way, the art style sucks in Reflex. Looking at it makes you regret having eyes.

The autistic foreign crab is stupid and scary and disappears. Coach penny needs to be poached and looks like an obese cow moooo and a blue whale. The crackhead old-timer rabbit gives you too many gnomes to give fireflies to and tortures the lil rabbit named junior. No one likes poached penny It's too inappropriate for childs. Boo pic puzzles.

Reflex is so stupid, If it was deleted, we would have a party!.first of all, the picture puzzles are stupid, because the facts are rigged and give kids stress,
There is 2 picture puzzles that take like 60 centuries, and the facts are like What's 2 x 6? And I type in 12 but they say stinking 15! Second of all, The Quick slither game over screen is very insulting. It says "Not bad, but you can do better." Last of all, I can't get past my high score in any of the games! P
Why do teachers spend $3000 for this s***? Please delete this... I'm tired of me smashing my computer every time these happen!

I ABSOLUTLEY HATE Reflex Math. First of all, it takes AGES to get a green light! Don't even get me started on that fat a$s bear who calls herself a "coach" I started in the first grade, it was infuriating and anxiety-inducing.DO NOT purchase! DOES NOT HELP KIDS WITH MATH OF ANY SORT! Every kid hated it! 0/10 if I could
