What's New in Ascent

1.0.3

October 6, 2026

Worked examples now show every step: simplifying in two moves, and systems solved by elimination. Lessons write formulas in math, not words. Check, Next and Why? answer a tap anywhere on the button, your answer stays in view after a miss, and the scratchpad keeps your working when you close it. A climb that iOS closes in the background is kept, and the screen stays awake while you work on a problem. Easier reading at every hour on the mountain, with true minus signs, raised exponents, and a joined square-root sign. The home screen names your next camp and what is left to reach it.

Great app!

Overall I love the feel of it. Very well balanced. Just gave it to my little cousin who’s over for the weekend. I don’t feel any lag or issues. I def recommend.

Makes Algebra Much Easier to Practice

I really like the way Ascent breaks Algebra 1 into smaller skills instead of making everything feel overwhelming. The step-by-step approach and hints are especially helpful when I get stuck. It makes practicing equations and graphs feel more manageable and engaging.

A Smart Way to Learn Algebra

Ascent is a really useful study app for Algebra 1. I like that it combines practice, review, graphing, and progress tracking in one place. The mountain-climbing concept also makes learning feel more motivating than a typical math practice app.
