App suggestions for practicing mathematics?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding quality mobile applications for practicing mathematics beyond basic arithmetic. Users express dissatisfaction with existing options, primarily geared towards children. The app "Elevate" is highlighted as a preferred choice, offering progressively challenging math-related tasks. However, some users seek an app akin to "Duolingo" specifically for mathematics, indicating a desire for structured learning rather than general brain training.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with mobile application platforms (iOS, Android)
  • Understanding of different levels of mathematics (beginner to advanced)
  • Knowledge of educational app features (progress tracking, challenge levels)
  • Awareness of popular educational apps (e.g., Duolingo, Lumosity)
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Elevate" app features and user reviews for mathematics practice
  • Explore alternative math learning apps similar to "Duolingo" for structured learning
  • Investigate user feedback on "Lumosity" and its effectiveness for math skills
  • Look into community recommendations for advanced math practice apps
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and anyone seeking effective mobile applications for practicing and enhancing their mathematics skills at various levels.

I was browsing the Play Store early this morning looking for a quality app that would allow me to practice and learn various mathematic topics on my mobile device. Surprisingly, none of the results were very good. There were a few basic "flash card" type applications with basic arithmetic, and some apps for kids.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a quality app to practice various mathematic topics on my mobile device?

What level are you looking for?

I noticed that this thread was moved from the Math forums to Computing..I don't think this was the right move.

Regardless, beginner to intermediate/advanced. Something more difficult than the basic arithmetic found in the apps that were returned in the search results that seemed to be geared for kids.
 
Elevate is the one and only choice for me, check it out, it might be what you're looking for. It provides awesomely designed and prepared math-related (and many other) challenges that start simple and get more complicated depending on how good is your progress. Although, as one of the posters above mentioned, depends on the type of math you seek to practice.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think that's exactly what I'm looking for. Elevate seems similar to general "Brain Training" apps like Luminosity where it's really just memory games and such.

I'm essentially looking for the Duolingo of math.

I am having a hell of a time finding a good all-in-one inkjet printer. I must have gone through 5 Canon, 2 HP, one Brother, one Epson and two 4 X 6 photo printers in the last 7 yrs. all have all sort of problems. I don't even know where to start anymore. my price range is $180-$400, not exactly the cheapest ones. Mainly it's for my wife which is not exactly good in tech. most of the problem is the printers kept changing the way it operate. Must be from auto update. I cannot turn off the...
