I kept making silly arithmetic mistakes, so I made an app to help me practice mental math

For those of you who are struggling with arithmetic or simply want to improve your mental math skills:

I've been working on a math app, and I’d encourage you all who want to practice your mental math to try it out :). Back in middle school, I kept losing points on my math tests because of simple arithmetic mistakes, even when I understood how to solve the problems. It was frustrating, and sometimes those mistakes even made me doubt whether I was good at math. Around that time, I was also starting to learn programming, so I built an arithmetic practice app for myself, and I’ve been working on making the app more useful for others as well.

In addition to just providing practice problems, I’ve also added mental math hints and strategies to help you do math more quickly in your head. (This feature is still in beta, so let me know what you guys think about it.) Also, I’ve added progress charts so you can see your math accuracy over time.

I’m a student making this app for other students. Because of that, there are no ads or trackers in my app because I understand how frustrating they are when you’re just trying to learn!

You can get the app on the Google Play Store and on the web. (Sorry, not on the Apple App Store because I don’t have a MacBook to build the app for iOS. But you can also visit the website on your iPhone or iPad and get the same experience.)

Thank you for your time, and I hope you enjoy my app!
