What parents say about MobyMax

A summary of public parent feedback we read on forums, app stores and review sites. It is not a set of Edulist family reviews.

On Trustpilot, the small set of reviews splits sharply. Parents and educators praise automatic placement and differentiation for mixed-level groups, while students complain about lessons restarting after a couple of mistakes, tedious assignments, rare rewards and a dated look. Trustpilot notes the profile is unclaimed and reviews may not be representative.

Common praise

  • Placement test assigns lessons matched to each child
  • Works for mixed-grade groups
  • Parents report improved math scores

Common complaints

  • Lessons restart after a few wrong answers
  • Long, repetitive assignments
  • Dated design and infrequent updates

Questions

Can homeschoolers use MobyMax?

Yes. MobyMax tells homeschool parents to create a teacher account, add their children as students, then assign and monitor lessons. Families can also sign up through the family page.

Why do kids dislike MobyMax?

Student reviews commonly mention lessons restarting after a few mistakes, long assignments and a dated look. Setting shorter sessions and using the earned game time as a reward can help.
