The Dojo
Read full descriptionHide full description
The Dojo is a place to learn what you know nothing about, from actual zero. Math, code, music, cooking, physics: you rank what appeals to you, and your first choice moves to the front. One idea at a time, in plain words, with zero jargon: every technical word is explained the moment it appears, always. HOW IT WORKS • 10 minutes a day. That's the whole deal. Consistency beats talent — it's brain science, and the first lesson explains why. • Read one idea, then prove it. Every lesson teaches ONE thing, then a short quiz confirms you own it. Miss a question? Perfect: a mistake is the exact moment your brain learns. • Spaced repetition, done for you. The app knows when you're about to forget something and brings it back right before — you never cram. • A boss at the end of every module, to prove it stuck. From numbers to equations and geometry — and the curriculum keeps being written, at no extra cost. INSTRUMENTS YOU CAN TOUCH Math you can grab: a number line you drag, pizza slices you cut, an equation balance that really tips when you cheat, a living triangle that recomputes area, angles and Pythagoras under your finger. And a calculator that GROWS: it only learns a button once you've proven you can do the operation in your head. NO SHAME, EVER No red screams, no guilt trips, no "you lost your streak" drama. An "I'm lost" button that always gives you exactly one next step. A gentle plan when you come back after a break. This app was built by someone who had to start over as an adult — it treats you like the capable person you are. ALSO INSIDE • Physics without formulas: measure, compare, estimate the real world • Learn to code and learn to cook — free explorations that secretly train the same math muscles • Logic riddles, a Sunday enigma, mock exams, printable worksheets • Works 100 % offline. Your progress stays on your phone. No account, no ads, nothing to sign up for. FREE & PREMIUM Chapter I of every subject is fully free, uncapped, forever. Past that nothing locks: you keep going, at the daily pace the Dojo recommends, ten minutes a day. The Pass lifts that ceiling, for anyone catching up — an exam, going back to school. Nothing is ever locked away — only the pace changes. You were never bad at math. Come see for yourself — your first win is 60 seconds away. Subscription: The Dojo Pass, monthly or yearly, auto-renewing. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

Your own tutor that never gets tired of your questions. Open SmartWit, pick a chapter in Algebra 1 or Geometry, and start talking. The tutor answers out loud in under a second, and draws on a whiteboard you both share while it speaks. A parabola plotted properly. A triangle with the right angle marked. The board a tutor sitting beside you would use. It works in the other direction too. Write your steps by hand on that board and SmartWit reads them, including the one that went wrong. It rings the line where the sign flipped and asks you to multiply it back out. HOW IT TEACHES Two sentences, then a question back. Ask the same thing five times at midnight and it answers five times without sighing. What it will not do is hand over the answer, because an answer you did not reach yourself is not yours. It draws real math. Every graph and diagram is computed rather than sketched, so the curve is actually the curve, and equations render the way they do in a textbook. It follows the course. Algebra 1 and Geometry track the sequence US high schools use, chapter by chapter. SmartWit keeps a picture of which topics have landed and which keep slipping, and spends the time where it is needed. FOR PARENTS See the learning, not just the screen time. Every session ends in a plain-language summary: what was practiced, where mastery moved, what to keep an eye on, and a short note written to you. You can open any session and watch the whole thing back, voices and whiteboard together, or share a clip of the moment it clicked. WHAT IT COVERS Algebra 1: one-variable statistics, linear equations, inequalities and systems, two-variable statistics, functions, exponential functions, quadratic functions, quadratic equations. Geometry: constructions and rigid transformations, congruence, similarity, right triangle trigonometry, solid geometry, coordinate geometry, circles, conditional probability. WHAT YOU NEED A microphone. Headphones help in a loud room. Camera access is optional, and used only when you choose to photograph work you did on paper. SUBSCRIPTION Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, and no card is charged during it. Plans are monthly auto-renewing subscriptions: Scholar and Mentor (Mentor adds a 1-on-1 mentor session every two weeks). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account when the trial ends, and the subscription renews automatically each month unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: SmartWit at 15.0 against The Dojo's 17.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
