| 2024-11-18 |  | | Never good at math, I'd forget a lot of x-+÷, so Challenge, Custom modes great for ÷ practice; color options help poor vision, Relax good workout but it would be a help to have a guide to area locations and if+-×÷, or +&-. |
| 2024-11-04 |  | | I originally got this app to help teach my kindergartener basic arithmetic, and now it is my own go to game. The app is simple and runs exceptionally well. I love the challenge and relax options. It has made my own mental math so much faster. The education tab is simple and easy to understand. If anyone wants to learn how to use an abacus or soroban, this is the perfect way to do it. |
| 2024-09-27 |  | | Super intuitive and nice design! One question: you call it Soroban, but after some research, it looks like an abacus to me? |
| 2024-09-26 |  | | Excellent tool for learning soroban. Lots of options and modes to suite your leanring style. |
| 2024-09-09 |  | | It's very good, and very easy. I have a one problem, can you give tutorial between challange program because it will help to learn faster, we also know that how it's happens.. thank you ❤️ |
| 2024-08-27 |  | | It gets the grey matter stirring; a good appliance. Something that might improve it, would be to put dots in the beam level where comas would normally be found in written numbers. What I mean is there could be a dot every three bars. Thanks. Also, would you please make the themes more vibrant for when the sun shines too much on the screen. But I reckon this is excellent software and abacus. |
| 2024-08-24 |  | | Amazing! Very instructive, a lot of challenges, themes, and no adds at all. It couldn't be better! |
| 2024-08-22 |  | | Great app! Slight problem is that for teaching division, it only has one example which doesn't use decimal numbers or the first digit doesn't divide at all so I am unable to complete any other types of questions. Overall great app! (Could do with more example tutorials / qs though) |
| 2024-08-19 |  | | Fabulous!! Great!! No ads, no purchases. Elegant, simple, skins, tutorials & challenges. Perfect. Pure genius!!! Thanks a lot!!! |
| 2024-08-13 |  | | Super helpful! I wish i had better words to describe it. If you are looking for how to use an abacus this is it. Easy to follow tutorials step by step. I can see a change in how quickly i can do some problems. If you want to try you will not be disappointed |
