Milo is supposed to be a helpful AI “dog tutor” in Mathspace, but in reality, many students find him more frustrating than helpful. This report outlines why Milo fails to do his job and often makes learning harder instead of easier. Milo often explains things in a super vague or robotic way, leaving students more confused than when they started.
Many users report that Milo repeats instructions without actually breaking the steps down for tricky problems.
Example: You ask Milo how to solve a fraction problem, and he just says, “Simplify it,” without showing how or why.

This defeats the whole purpose of a tutor. If you need a calculator, fine—but Milo isn’t supposed to just say “do the thing.”
Milo sometimes overcomplicates simple math, turning a 2-step problem into a 10-step nightmare.
Instead of helping you learn, he slows you down and wastes your time.
Users complain he “over-explains useless stuff” or “throws random examples at you” that have nothing to do with the question.

Honestly, he’s the AI equivalent of that teacher who talks for 20 minutes about stuff you don’t care about.

Milo is supposed to adjust to your skill level, but in practice, he either gives too easy or too hard problems.
If you’re struggling, Milo doesn’t adapt properly—sometimes he repeats the same boring examples instead of helping you improve.
This makes him feel like a stubborn robot who refuses to listen.
The dog-themed gimmick is meant to be fun, but Milo’s constant “woof!” and cartoon animations get super annoying after 10 seconds.
Students report that the jokes and animations distract more than they help.

Fun for 1 minute, frustrating for 20. Doesn’t help with math anxiety, that’s for sure.
One of the worst things about Milo is that his hints are sometimes flat-out wrong or misleading.
Students trying to check their work often get stuck following Milo’s incorrect hints, wasting time and getting frustrated.

A tutor that gives wrong answers is literally worse than no tutor at all.
Some students complain the interface is clunky, with buttons and navigation that don’t make sense.
Milo also sometimes freezes or resets progress, which adds insult to injury.

If your AI can’t even run smoothly, why should I trust it with my math homework?
Milo the Mathspace dog is supposed to be a helpful math tutor, but in practice he:

Gives confusing explanations
Makes simple problems harder
Fails to adapt to student skill level
Distracts with annoying gimmicks
Sometimes gives wrong hints
Has a clunky, frustrating interface

Basically, Milo is more like a glorified stress-inducer than a math tutor. Students would learn faster without him, or at least with literally any other tutor.
Milo is basically built to train students to chase rewards like a slot machine. Every time you answer a question, he doles out points, stars, or coins, and suddenly you’re not learning math—you’re just addicted to “winning” little digital prizes. This constant reward loop mirrors gambling mechanics, teaching kids to focus on random payoffs instead of actually understanding the material. Instead of being a helpful tutor, Milo ends up encouraging short-term excitement over long-term learning, which is exactly how casinos get people hooked. For a supposed educational tool, that’s not just useless—it’s actively sketchy.
Milo from Mathspace claims to be a dog, but in reality, he looks and behaves nothing like a real dog. His combination of cartoonish antics, talking, and human-like expressions makes him weirdly unrealistic, which frustrates students trying to learn math.

Mathspace is genuinely horrible. I don't understand why teachers force us poor students to go through this torture. It is horrible, annoying, and well, it's gone to the point where the awfulness of this website cannot be described with words. Milo is a satan incarnate. The website itself IS hell. There is no hell in the afterlife, there is only mathspace. I question my sanity every day when I see milo and his stupid ugly horrible dog face reminding me of my overdue tasks. It never helps me or any of my classmates and marks my answers wrong when it is correct, as proven by me, my math teacher, my parents and even AI. I used to love mathematics but mathspace has ruined it for me and everyone at my school. Using this app feels like trying to do maths but the questions and answers are marked by some stupid idiot who does not know mathematics. It’s clunky, inconsistent, and somehow manages to make even correct answers feel like personal failures. I open it to learn maths and leave questioning my life choices. Mathspace actually made one of my classmates go insane. It was horrible. They nearly had a mental breakdown and had to stay home and start being homeschooled. Whoever wrote this website should actually try to use it themselves. We are getting attacked by questions written by someone who failed maths and decided the current education system had to suffer with them. I don't know how to convey my hate message through this screen. But please, students, parents, children, don't. Don't use mathspace. Trust me. You wouldn't want to suffer like I did. Spare yourselves. Please people, spread the word. Don't suffer like we did.

mathspace is disgusting and milo has done despicable things. i have witnessed my fellow classmates go through hell at the hands of that dog. it is a CULT. when i walk in my maths class and see that we must go onto mathspace... i feel a single tear roll down my cheek. i can't handle milo. he speaks another language. they speak another language, he's RUINED THEM. ALL MY FRIENDS NOW SPEAK OF MILO SO HIGHLY. IM THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS THE TRUTH. I KNOW WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING, AND IT'S ABSURD AND VILE!

sometimes during breaks i see my friends in a circle, doing a ritual and chanting stuff in another language. the only thing i can actually hear them say is milos name. i haven't been able to sleep since i talked with milo the first time. that day. he looked... sweet. kind. innocent, even. as if he was incapable of performing any evil. oh, but the first time he spoke to me changed it all. i haven't seen anything the same way since. i fear i might also fall into the hands of milo and his cult. please, avoid milo, never use him. please. PLEASE, I BEG OF YOU. DON'T END UP LIKE ME. NEVER EVER END UP LIKE ME. DON'T GO THROUGH THE SAME TORTURE AND SUFFERING I DID, I BEG!

This application was very unhelpful in teaching my children maths. The dog assistant is extremely unhelpful and provided no help. Multiple times the answer was as my children responded but they still marked it wrong. This app sucks!

Milo. You are an AI thingy, what the hell do you mean X=y tell me why it =y. I do not sleep at night no more. Ts shit cuts deep 🥀🥀…

It's a decent enough math app, though I have a few gripes. As a high school student who (most likely) has dyscalculia, I wish it had an accessibility feature to read out the problems. Instead, the only text-to-speech option is for help, not the problems themselves. Milo. Also, it makes you redo the problems if you accidentally get something wrong, for example mistyping on the keyboard, which can be frustrating. There are some good things about it, for example: the example problems can be extremely helpful for me as someone who can't memories formulas, and the videos are pretty decent walk throughs. In total, the app is mid, not the best thing I've used, not the worst.

Math space is a terrible site that punishes students for making simple mistakes or for misunderstanding answers. Math space doesn't understand how the math process works, if I notice that I make a mistake during a specific step on an equation, I can fix it and everything else that was wrong, so why am I being graded by each individual step of a question before I can finish the rest? On top of that, why do I lose marks for the site misunderstanding an answer I gave, despite it being correct when it shows me the answer? There are so many issues that the site has that demotivates students from wanting to do their homework because of their terrible grading system. Nowadays there are several better free alternatives for teachers to use to give out homework without giving students mental stress, so please, don't use Mathspace.

this website caused me to genuinely stop trying In math class. I don't want to even do math anymore, this website killed it for me. I used to be a model student but as soon as my teacher put me on this my grades heavily declined and my mental health was ruined. Milo is useless and annoying, promotes gambling, downright wrong or frustrating on some questions and they have the audacity to delete reviews. never again

I spun the wheel and didnt get 200 coins.

I dont like mathspace either its ok

Mathspace, every time I even hear the name, I have a seizure and I have been told by a doctor that I have a severe case of Mathspaceaphobia. one time I asked the evil chat bot that goes by the name of milo how to answer a question, but it told me to "use my tiny brain" and did not give me any hints on how to answer the question (I now know the answer was 5 when I used a NASA calculator that I rented for $4,000) The Mathspace team have spent way too much time on creating the shop, avatars and accessories and spent no time on giving the users a good experience. My school was using mathsonline (a much better and more reliable platform) when they gave mathspace a trial, but milo possessed my innocent classmates and made them say it was good now my entire school has been attacked by this evil platform.

It was the worst.
I am in a psychiatric ward from this platform.
My friend Marlo showed me a question from Milo, and he started flirting with me. saying things such as "hey, hot cheeks, how are you going? Are you doing your maths?? After that, I'm gonna do you. Soon, soon I say we will both rule the universe as trigonomnoms, and I will do you every night!" I asked my school to remove Mathspace from everyone's computer and told them of the incident, but they didn't believe mean I couldn't save anyone. Three other people in the next hour also fell ill to Milo's evil flirting. am now afraid of dogs and scream every time one is within a 20-mile radius.

RUN AWAY
DO NOT SUFFER MY FATE
TOGETHER WE CAN BEAT THE TRIGONOMNOM CULT
TOGETHER WE SHALL VANQUISH MILO

Help, Milo is a demon! He started speaking in tongues and looking at me weirdly. My friend wouldn't believe me but then he started flirting with her. I agree with all the comments already here!!! My friend is now in a psychiatric ward. And has trauma with dogs. This site stinks of poo. And a jet 2 holiday is better. Seriously, run, run as fast as you can. Escape the horrors of the demon inside of this. He will try and submit you into his cult of trigonometry. IT'S TOO LATE FOR ME BUT YOU CAN STILL DEFEAT HIM, SAVE THE UNIVERSE FROM MILO!!!!!!!!!!!

this sucks. my algebra teacher tried to give us a mathspace assignment, and, after seeing our struggle, tried to do it himself. In the end, about 7/25 of our class made it out alive. stay FAR AWAY from this program. it will twist the brain. RUN

Mathspace is a great platform but needs some work

Mathspace just sucks. If I could give it a –1, I genuinely would. It doesn’t even deserve the effort I’m putting into writing this. The list of terrible decisions is endless. from wiping negative student reviews on common sense media to adding Milo and turning everything into a pay‑to‑win mess. It’s exhausting.
I hope I never have to use this site again.

they need to improve on the way they format their formulas, students don't understand when they have lengthy formulas. they also need to explain the problem better and help when they are stuck instead of sending the same message over and over again that we don't understand in the first place. do better

I HAVE BEEF WITH THAT LITTLE BUM CHEEK MILO LIKE DUDE, I GOT BANNED FOR CALLING HIM A 'FANDEN STYKKE AF LORT TOS HOD' (USE GOOGLE TRANSLATE FROM DANISH TO UNDERSTAND) THIS IS PHYCOLOGICAL WARFARE, I DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS I'M IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL NOW BECAUSE OF THIS.

I think it absolutely SUCKS. Its hard to gain skills, and isn't engaging or encouraging in the slightest. I struggle every day to gain 1 skill, because of the hard and strict way to gain skills.
