About Simple Soroban

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

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).

Only recently wondered how an abacus is used and so discovered this 'recommended for you' app. So far a challenging time just starting off with addition. With more levels yet to try with other maths operands, this is a very good teaching and instructional aid.

I can't put this down. Installed b/c too cheap to buy soroban but wanted to learn about them, didn't expect it to be so fun. Would be nice if operator could choose digit placement.

C70%
by C####:

App works as intended, challenges are great practice and its very addictive. But I really chose it over the others since it doesn't require special permissions. Keep it up!

I wanted to learn Soroban to teach my kids. I got a cheap soroban from Daiso and an old book. This app is great because it gives excercises randomly and I dont have to make them up myself. Instant hours of practice. Thanks Simple Soroban!

I have always enjoyed math and brain teasers. This is challenging but fun!! Getting better at addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Division is still unknown to me and the mtiplication II.

The most polished app I've seen to date. I have been studying this abacus for about 2 and a half years. It was surprising when it recognized the answer after I used the algorithm for multiplication that I learned. Very good app.

ชอบแอพนี้มาก ๆ เลย แนะนำให้เพิ่มโหมดการเล่นหลาย ๆ รูปแบบ เช่น บวกเลขสามจำนวนขึ้นไป หรือการขึ้นตัวเลขแบบชั่วขณะ หรือการคูณเลขแบบโหด ๆ เช่น 6 หลักคูณกับ 6 หลัก จะทำให้รู้สึกท้าทายมากขึ้นครับ ขอบคุณครับ (~^^)
