But still just a note that me (and certainly about a million other people) would probably buy this on Android! Sadly the Nexus 7, whilst a good device, is an abomination to develop for due to the weird pixel density of the screen. Man I'm glad I'm not a developer. Out of curiosity why is hard to develop for the screen? I thought you developed for a resolution rather than a pixel density? Are you talking about the aspect ratio? All designers start out designing at 72 ppi so they can cover all screens. Once the design is complete, you need to scale it appropriately for each device. As an example, going from the base design to a retina display on the iPhone 5 means you double the number of pixels, which is great because all edges, etc. line up. It's simple. For the Galaxy S2, you need to multiply by 1.5x, which is ok, but it means every 3rd pixel needs attention because it may be in the wrong place. The Kindle Fire is a bit harder again, it goes to 1.66x, so again other pixels need attention. The Nexus 7 bizarrely uses ~1.27x, which is an old format from Cathode Ray TVs. It basically means that you need to pay attention to the location of every pixel otherwise lines end up a blurry mess. It is the only device on the market with this strange format.
Even Apple isn't immune to this type of thing because of their wacky resolution differences between iPhone and iPad, things sometimes need tweaking to get positions that look nice on both devices. But overall it's MUCH MUCH less of a headache than developing for Android. God Android is a headache.

I'll buy it and try it.
Thanks for supporting TL !
|
That challenge is unreal, I can do 20 questions in 13 seconds but I can't seem to cut to 12 seconds. Great app though, i'm addicted to beginner addition lol.
|
That is pretty fuggin cool :O
|
very nice application. You guys did a great job with the sound and interface to make the game fun for users.
|
I don't have any apple products, so it looks like I can't test it myself. Shame :/
But from what I saw in the videos that were posted, it really looks good. Lovely to see someone putting emphasis into clear and simple UI istead of a massive clusterfuck of .. things.
Good luck with the app, I hope you get plenty of sales :3
|
It's pretty cool that you guys managed to make a math app that is fun, competitive and actually develops a useful skill. Undoubtedly, i'll seem like a nerd playing this but it's by far worth it!

I know the question wasn't directed at me, but I do my 5s in 1 stroke, and still doesn't seem happy. It seems more satisfied when I just draw an S (but of course, even then it doesn't always work).
For the last one (+, -, x, /) on advanced the best I've got was 32 seconds. 12 seconds for beginners +
Fun stuff

here 23sec on advance with + - x /

I bought it this afternoon and my 7 year old loves it. Actually took my phone to bed with him
|
Time to get godlike on simple math, fuck yeah. You guys should do a memorization one.
|
I would so try this, might have to fix my ipod now haha.
|
Really fun and well designed app! I wonder how well it will improve my simple arithmetic. Thanks for this!

And with your 9 do you write it with a curved lower portion? Yeah I write the 5s in two strokes, the first stroke being the vertical line and the curve, the second stroke the horizontal line from left to right. The 9s I do write with a curved lower portion. I start drawing in the top right, then draw a circle counter-clockwise and as I get to the top right again I draw the bottom with a curve after the vertical line, all in one stroke.
Thanks for the description! We found a stupid bug which we will be releasing a fix for this week. It should improve both numbers.

Thanks for the feedback. We should release a fix soon for the 5, it was totally our bad.

Thanks for your review on the App Store, we greatly appreciate it!

Android user here, would have loved to use it on my S2 or my Asus Transformer Prime...
|
I really don't wanna advertise for competition here or anything, but anyone seeking an Android app that is similar should check out "Math Workout". It's very similar (from looks, I don't have an iPhone for comparison purposes) just doesn't use handwriting.
Apologies if this is against the rules or offends TLAF (you guys are awesome), but with their intentions to not develop for Android I figure it's safe.

Annnnnd there goes 30 minutes of my working time. I love this app~ It's so.. challenging in a non-challenging way.
One thing I'd like to note is that numbers with curves tend to mess more frequently, zero especially. But it's okay! I now that I suck at this :c
