### 5/5 — Truly great

*2025-03-15, version 1.2.6*

Highly recommended for all programmers and system admins. Also recommended to anyone working with us such as web designers, product owners, testers….

### 5/5 — Worth it!

*2025-02-28, version 1.2.6*

I purchased the extra content through the app and highly recommend it. The concise explanations combined with visuals are high quality and super helpful. I frequently run through the animations to review my understanding and develop mental models for thinking of DSA concepts and problems.

### 5/5 — 秀逸

*2025-02-20, version 1.2.6*

実に秀逸。楽しく学べる、見てわかる。

### 5/5 — アルゴリズムの仕組みが明瞭

*2025-01-20, version 1.2.6*

グラフによってわかりやすく表現されているため、小中学校での教育用としても使えるだろう。
子供でもわかりやすい非常に良いアプリ

### 5/5 — Супер

*2024-08-20, version 1.2.6*

Великолепная продуманная подача материала, респект разработчику!

### 5/5 — Do you have this in Python?

*2024-07-03, version 1.2.6*

Python?

### 5/5 — Вау!!!

*2024-04-24, version 1.2.6*

Пишу первый раз в жизни отзыв на приложения, честно ))
Это приложение настолько крутое! Очень интересные разделы, идеальная визуализация и подробное разжевывание со всеми деталями. Изучать очень занимательно. Спасибо огромное разработчикам за труд!!!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2023-12-20, version 1.2.6*

This is an excellent to to aid in the learning and understanding of a variety of useful algorithms. Worth far more than the price requested to unlock the last few algorithms.

### 5/5 — Очень удивлен качетсвом!

*2023-11-11, version 1.2.6*

вы молодцы!

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2023-11-09, version 1.2.6*

Very good app

### 5/5 — Супер идея!

*2023-10-29, version 1.2.6*

Привет!

Я восхищен Вашим приложением!
Какая прекрасная идея, и восхитительно исполнение обучающей программы!

Мне все стало понятно!
А где было не понятно - я мог точно понять на каком этапе и что конкретно я понимаю. 
Благодаря вашему приложению - я смог по шагам, изучить сложные моменты. Как будто поднимаясь по ступеням - я смог увидеть сразу же, на какой ступени мне что-то не понятно - и изучить это конкретно!

Я очень Вас прошу - создайте пожалуйста такое же приложение, по такому же принципу, для изучения:
- математики, (деление, умножение и тп)
- алгебры (работа одним неизвестным, двумя, и тп)
- геометрии (что такое sin, cos и тп)

### 5/5 — Very thoughtful and digestible

*2023-10-04, version 1.2.6*

Really intuitive and clear explanations of not only DSA, but also security & compression practices that I’ve always been curious about, but seem super intimidating. This little app has managed to give me conceptual understandings of things I never learned in +10 yrs of software engineering because they seemed so boring and “scary”.

Love this style of learning with the “click through” animations. You can digest it at your own pace and quickly replay anything that didn’t sink in. Highly recommend for any visual learners in software engineering. If you’re prepping for interviews, delete TikTok .etc and redirect your scrolling compulsion here for a few weeks/months. Well worth it.

Make some more tech related ones please. Data engineering, data analytics, ML, DB architecture/design .etc?

### 4/5 — Good to learning algorithms

*2023-09-20, version 1.2.6*

You may add translations or add thai language

### 5/5 — Cool app.

*2023-09-16, version 1.2.6*

Excellent step by step explanations. But what about complexity measurements? It’ll be nice to have it there too explained

### 5/5 — Great app !

*2023-08-18*

Great app! Thank you so much for this detailed and easy explanation! Definitely buying the subscription and wait for more algorithms explained!

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2023-08-11, version 1.2.6*

Ótimo aplicativo para compreender algoritmos. Vale a pena comprar a versão paga. Muito fácil compreender, merecia um prêmio de educação.

### 5/5 — Best on app store

*2023-08-05, version 1.2.6*

I have come across many algorithm apps on the App Store, but this one stands out as the best. The animations it uses to explain each algorithm are exceptionally clear and make it easy to understand their concepts visually.

### 1/5 — No thanks

*2026-05-08, version 1.2.6*

total doof , ;blöd : einfach doof!

### 1/5 — Overcharged

*2024-02-26, version 1.2.6*

I thought I was paying $2 to access the material but it charged me $10.. This is a scam for hiding this information!!

### 1/5 — 支払い済みでUnlockしたにもかかわらず

*2022-10-28, version 1.2.6*

支払い済みでUnlockしたにもかかわらず新しいiPhoneに買い替えしたら再度購入する必要がある。ひどいです

### 1/5 — コードが欲しい

*2021-02-21, version 1.2.3*

コードが欲しい…

### 1/5 — 誤植

*2020-11-14, version 1.2.3*

ユークリッドの互除法の、最大公約数に的がついていておかしいです。
GCMとGCDが混在しているので統一したほうがいいです。

### 1/5 — Malware?

*2020-09-18, version 1.2.3*

The app changed into a Russian name

### 2/5 — Crash on iOS8/iPhone 6

*2018-09-13, version 1.2.1*

Crash on iOS8.1.2/iPhone 6

### 2/5 — Costa troppo

*2018-06-13, version 1.2.1*

Pochi argomenti per il costo della app completa, piuttosto mettete la pubblicità ma rendetela gratis.

### 2/5 — Asymptotic complexity??

*2017-10-12, version 1.1.2*

Good collection of algorithms but it really needs the best, average, and most of all, worst case run times of the algorithms to give a full picture of when to use each one and why.

I’d be happy to change this to 5-stars if that’s added, but for anyone practicing for coding interviews like myself, that’s a huge piece to leave out.

### 3/5 — Код

*2024-04-16, version 1.2.6*

Нужен код

Definitely worth the purchase. 
Great for visual learners. Highly recommended for all types of software developers.

### 5/5 — De 0 a pro

*2025-04-10, version 1.2.6*

No sé cómo es que las personas entienden este tipo de algoritmos sin algo visual, esta aplicación me ayudó bastante. Lo recomiendo bastante, si es que estás atorado en estos temas.
