About

Practice

Features
Read full description

Mental arithmetic isn't something you learn once β€” it's something you build through repetition. This app gives you a near-infinite supply of problems, letting you practice until any calculation feels effortless. Train with targeted drills for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Focus on the operations that trip you up most, and go from uncertain to fluent. Built-in difficulty presets mean you can open the app and start immediately β€” no setup required. When you're ready to fine-tune, full customization is available: toggle carrying for addition, borrowing for subtraction, and set the exact number ranges for multiplication and division to suit your current skill level. The interface supports both light and dark mode, so it's comfortable to use anytime, anywhere. Multi-language support removes any language barrier to practice.

About

Tesseract

Features
Read full description

Point your camera at a problem β€” or just type what you need. Tesseract returns a short video explanation, not a list of steps. Most math apps tell you what the answer is. Tesseract shows you how to actually think through it β€” with visuals, diagrams, and step-by-step breakdowns that move. You can solve a question, get a full topic explained from scratch, or ask about one specific concept you're stuck on. It adapts to what you ask. Works across math, physics, engineering, and other STEM subjects. High school to university level.
