Simple and elegant, l like it.
Adding iCloud sync would be better, I do my exercises on iPad and lose my record on iPhone.

Thank you! iCloud sync is in the app now: your iPad and iPhone history merges and stays in sync. If anything looks off, write to denys.kotenko@icloud.com.

Excellent App
Initial Review:
I’ve tried many apps for math practice, and they were either too expensive or just not very good. This app, however, is affordable and does things almost perfectly. I especially love that I can review each session I’ve completed.
One thing I think could be better was the scoring. I found that there wasn’t enough transparency around how the score was calculated.
Update:
After taking a bit of a break from the app, I returned and was pleasantly surprised by a few updates.
Firstly, the scoring is much more transparent than before. The app now gives you a score for accuracy, as well as a separate score for speed. Previously, I believe these were grouped together, with the overall score being heavily weighted toward speed.
I had previously emailed the dev team about this scoring issue, and they responded very well to my feedback. So I’m happy to see that changes were actually made regarding the scoring.
The app also has articles covering various math tricks and tips to help improve your mental math.
Final Verdict:
If you’re looking for a highly gamified experience, I think you might be somewhat disappointed here. However, if you’re someone like me who uses math daily and is looking for a way to get better at mental math without relying on a calculator, this app is certainly for you.
Its entire principle is that being good at mental math isn’t the same as simply being good at calculating. It’s about learning tips and tricks that allow you to cut out much of the calculation and go straight to the answer. More than anything, it’s about practice.

Thank you for coming back and updating your review! Your email about the scoring is a big part of why it now shows accuracy and speed separately, and we're glad it reads more clearly. And thanks for putting the app's idea better than we could: it's about practice, not calculation. Happy practicing!
Very bad
Says you are wrong when you are right. And it’s boring
