The main purpose of the service seems to be less about teaching math and more about encouraging purchases. The game's design creates noticeable disparities, pressuring children and their parents into buying a premium membership. The experience for non-paying users is intentionally limited, with constant ads promoting exclusive features only available to paying members. There's a stark difference between regular players and premium members. One group even reported encountering 13 ads for the premium account within just 20 minutes of play. The math questions often feel like a hurdle or a "paywall" meant to unlock brief moments of enjoyment, rather than fostering genuine learning. This shifts the child's focus from education to consumerism within the game.
