Best game in the App Store

Working sums on the abacus is super soothing. The transition to using a “mental abacus” is tough without more guidance, and the physical abacus might be better practice for this because of muscle memory etc, but I can see how this app would be a good way to practice. Super cool virtual abacus though and it’s great as a game.

Smiling while doing math! I love it

I am awful at math. And I certainly cannot do it in my head. I am having so much fun with this app. It is building my confidence and I'm happy while I play it. It's fun and I feel so accomplished. Well worth the money spent. I found this app via the YouTube instructional videos uploaded for it. The videos are very good as well and should be watched.
