Yay
Good app
My kid actually gets algebra now
I bought this for my daughter and honestly didn’t expect much — most math apps are just dressed-up flashcards. This one is different. She’s moving little pawns around a balance scale and solving real equations without even realizing that’s what she’s doing. When I told her “you just did algebra,” her face lit up.
The lessons go at a good pace and build on each other, so she never feels lost or bored. No flashy distractions, no annoying characters, just a clear method that works. She actually asks to do the next lesson, which has never happened with any other math app in our house.
If your kid is curious about math or struggling with it, give this a try. Worth every penny.

The Best Tool
I really love your app and cannot wait to try it again for some reasons. The first reason is that the playing pieces that can be moved help me visualize the problem better. Second, the videos guide you through how to do the math. Third, the funny cartoons make me more engaged in the lesson. To conclude, your apps are great and taking away my algebra fear.

Algebra made easy
After 50 yrs I’m finally understanding algebra thanks to this wonderfully created hands on app. When I took algebra in college I would have continued taking other harder maths if I could comprehend it like I do using this app. Kudos to the developer!
Love this app
Where was this when I was in high school?! I’m 42 and relearning math. This is a great way to solve for x.
EDIT 10/26/23: I can’t believe x is just a pawn in this game. (Bad pun intended)

Dr. Borenson is a genius
Great app
No Sound on Videos
This is the only app I have where the sound on the videos does not work. I have tried everything but the sound will not come through this app. If I can’t hear what they are saying in the video, it’s not as useful. Again, every other app I own has sound that comes through just fine. It is just this one that sound does not work.

Please write to us at info@borenson.com so we can show you how to resolve the situation. In short, the Ringer switch that is next to the Volume bar needs to be flicked. Thank you.
It Was Fun!!!
This is great game to learn basic algebraic equations for me as a 6th Grader. I enjoyed the set up and was able to get through the lessons all on my first day. I can’t wait to try the hands on equations app 2!
Video won’t play
I downloaded the app, but the video lesson won’t play.
Amazing
Really good
Can’t use
Video lesson loops and won’t allow me to do exercises until I’ve seen the tutorial video (I’ve watched it 5 times, still doesn’t work)
Videos
I can’t get the videos to play. Otherwise the problem solving approach is unique and a great way to learn to solve equations.

Fantastic!
Using this with my middle school daughters. We homeschool and they are taking pre algebra and algebra this year. Both were struggling with equations and love how this visualizes it! We will be purchasing both of the higher levels. It is both affordable and excellent!
Nice and easy
I’m 60 years old and have thought I was math dumb my whole life. Thank you for the non-stressful lessons. I can’t wait to learn more.
Great
Forget about school this app makes it much easier to understand algebra..great
Glitch with Picture
I never buy Apps but I really liked the free version of this one so I decided to pay for this 1st group of lessons. I’m hoping it’s a temporary problem, but the pieces that are supposed to be on the scale show up below it and they get in the way of other buttons. I hope this gets fixed otherwise I really like the method used to teach algebra in a different way. It is very helpful.

8yo found this app fun
My 8yo found this on my phone. I downloaded it for his older sister who never used it. He loved it. The concepts are introduced so well and clearly that he understood each video and proceeded to do every lesson independently. I did make him work out some equations out on paper after completing the app. When working out on paper, he did draw a scale for himself and used smiley faces instead of pawns. I’m confident that he understands the concepts and will be able to move on to solving without “drawing” with some more on paper practice. Level 1 was completed over 2days because he kept asking to do more. We have purchased Level 2. I would love to see more apps.

Thank you for your in-depth comments. It appears that your 8 year-old is on his way to solving these mentally. Thank you!
Easy
I got this for my job and I’m getting a grasp on algebra
