When magic meets your phone! Surprise yourself, your friends and family with this little trick. 6 cards, a few clicks and a lot of magic!* Even if we try to make the use of jMagic as simple as possible, it is still a magic trick. Therefore, here are some tips: 1) Never perform a trick more than three times to the same audience. 2) Only show jMagic to one person at a time. 3) Talk to the people while performing the trick. 4) Never be arrogant, always remember how amazed you were the first time. 5) Don’t be disappointed if you find out how the trick works, but look forward to amaze others with it. 6) Keep the secret! Because ... to betray the secret is not sexy! Little story for the "secret keepers" in the App Store: A trumpet player says to the magician: "I've seen how you do the trick!" Says the magician: "I have also seen how you do it with a trumpet: You blow up in and then out comes the music down!" P.S .: For questions and suggestions for improvement please send an e-mail to support@j-apps.com. We try to answer them as quickly as possible. Jesse & Jo from j-apps

About

Magic Paint with Math

Features
Read full description

The purpose of this app is to help your baby master the basics of math. The app is optimized for preschool and elementary school children. I have created this app for my own child and have been constantly upgrading it. The app has three modes “Triplets” game, “Training” and “Colouring”. The “Triplets” game helps understand and memorize addition and subtraction within ten. The child is given three digits and two operators and has to compose the case him/herself. What’s so special about it? The child visually memorizes the case itself and can see what will happen if he changes the digits. Now there is no need to scissor out paper digits. The program itself indicates whether or not your child has composed the case right. “Training” is an easy-to-handle tool for effective instruction of your child. Forget about countless slips of paper with cases written on them! Everything is right here: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. After solving the problem the results are saved and can be seen on the stats page, the graph represents the results and the number of errors. This helps to track the dynamics of learning. There are also fractions now. The fraction looks like it does at school, with a numerator, a bar and a denominator, and an apple cut into slices under it. The child puts a digit on the numerator. The program paints the slices when the answer is right. You can practise parts of a whole, halves and quarters, adding and subtracting fractions, a whole and its parts, and equal fractions. Once your child has learnt to solve the cases, you won’t have to study with him. After the solving you will always be able to see the way he or she has solved it. Today there is no app with similar functionality.
