About this app

This application is a simple Japanese abacus (soroban / そろばん). It has a free mode where you can use the abacus freely, and a challenge mode with 4 operations (addition, subtraction, one and two digit multiplication, and division) and 3 difficulty levels (easy, medium, hard) where you must race against the clock to perform calculations.

Contains tutorials for:
* basic concepts
* addition
* subtraction
* one-digit multiplication
* two-digit multiplication
* division

Also has a custom challenge mode where you can set the number of questions, type of questions and difficulty.

(This is just a hobby project I'm doing for fun. This app is free and doesn't have in-app purchases or ads).

It's a really great app to learn abacus! It has different modes and u can even earn badges, u can also learn addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc. Plus u can design it! (Although u can't really choose what color u want it to be) now I finally understand how an abacus works :D

At first I ignored that app and used others, but when I started to notice shortcomings of other apps I downloaded few more, and now this is my favorite soroban on android. My favorite is challenge mode. Only thing I don't like, is that I can't put 6 on my OnePlus6 phone with one move with index and thumb because 5 and 1 beads are too close on screen and my fingers can't pinch on so little area.

Really fun way to learn. Learning how to add more than simple numbers was a little confusing but was able to figure it out. If I could change something about the app would be to have the option to turn off numbers in relax mode
