Bought the app, this is great. Can I make a feature request? I’d love for it to include a sequence of “levels” or existing equations to try and solve in order of increasing difficulty, and maybe a way to generate a random interesting one. Would love to use this to teach others with a mechanism for regular practice.

#22It doesn't seem like roots can be performed in the web version. Specifically, both x^3=8 and (x^2)x=8 seem unsolvable. It keeps trying to either subtract x^3, or divide by x. I can't get it to create a sqrt no matter what I drag or where. Edit: it seems to create a sqrt only if I drag one of the x-s over to the other side first in order to make one side only x^2, but then I get a sqrt(8/x) which I can't do anything a…
Try the x^-1 = 2 example and click Guide Me.

#23The interface is beautiful! Just curious... Did you implement each app natively? I.e. Swift and Kotlin? Or were you able to use a cross platform framework like Flutter?

#26I hope i could saw this post 4 years ago, when i failed my calculus exam, this could really be worth it

#27I have always wanted to make this! Can it accept user-define algebra stuff? like group theory stuff so more rules can be implemented.

#28Based. I tend to think of algebra as movement of terms, as opposed to only thinking in terms of operations. This could be really good for building intuition.
