Thank you for your kind feedback and all the feature requests - since the new arithmetic activities added in this version and the keyboard changes were initiated by your request - so thank you for pushing this project forward.
Thanks for the improvements in this new edition: in the Arithmetic section "find the missing number" is now free from guessing or gambling. The new Rainbow Keyboard upper case tab in the Literacy section is excellent for young kids to find where the letters are on that strange Querty keyboard that all adults think is normal. It might be good in the next update to notify that caps-lock has to be pressed. The clock/ time section is nicely expanded: makes it more interesting for 8 - 9 year olds. Not...

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. It means a lot. It's nice to know I'm going in the right direction with this project. There are plans to expand on the concepts you mentioned in your message. I have just released what I have so far otherwise I'd have to wait for another 5 years or so, before it's all ready :) I've had a few interruptions along the way though - I had a request to do some symmetry activities which have been added in the latest release, and currently I'm working on some...
Nice new arithmatic tabs at percentages etc. ! Needed: more equivalent fraction exercises. Wanted: devide and multiply fraction exercizes after the excellent new visual demos. Keep it up: brilliant job!
The negative numbers section has been included in the latest version, since this just involved tweaking a few numbers. As to the more complex issues these will require creation of new activities, and with me working on this project a few hours a week this will take some time. UPDATE - 16-04-2018: A range of activities have been added in the latest release that partially address this issue - the activities cover fractions, decimals, percentages and ratios. There's some demonstrative activities for...

Great idea, will see what I can do with that one, given the amount of time I can spend on this project. Again sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
Could I have more info on that one please. For me it starts within a second. On Android it takes some time on the first start because it is uncompressing a lot of files (up to 10 seconds). What operating system are you using, are you using a compiled version or running from source? What is the actual loading time? Is running from source improving anything? Is general performance OK after the first frame?

Hi, sorry for such a late reply, I was so busy working lately that I completely forgot to check the disscussion part here. I am working on a number of features at the moment, but will definitely add these to my TODO list.
Please try to increase the start up speed. The first frame comes after long time (in class situations).
Would be great to include more English word lists arranged by sound (not spelling!) as foreign kids (and adults) get confused that similar sounding words can have up to 4 different spellings while sililar spelled other words are pronounced differently sometimes. Best is a combination of picture, word sound and spelling in each list to memorize them.
Best freeware around: we use it in our primary and middle school in India. Good that you expanded the % section a bit? Would like more on fractions +/-//: and also use of negative numbers in those 4 areas. I am also a fan of using a pan balance as a visual tool in arithmatic.: makes the switch to pre-math with equations more natural. Possible?
