VERDICT

Should I use Reflexmath?

Math fact fluency through interactive games (ExploreLearning Reflex) - reflexmath.com

Depends. Buy it as a school or district license if elementary students need targeted math-fact fluency practice with progress tracking. Skip it as a parent — free alternatives like Prodigy or Khan Academy cover the same ground.
