About Mental Math: Soroban Abacus
■ What is flash anzan? Flash anzan is a "soroban-style" (Japanese abacus) way to do mental math: numbers flash on the screen one after another, and you add them up in your head. No abacus experience needed — start at the beginner level and work your way up. ■ Who it's for • Kids and students who want faster arithmetic • Soroban / abacus learners practicing for tests • Adults who want a quick daily brain workout • Anyone looking for a habit they can actually keep ■ Certification-based ranks Question count, number of digits, and flash speed are designed around flash anzan certification standards. Begin at the entry grades, pass a promotion exam, and your rank goes up — from your first dan all the way to 20th dan. Your skill is shown clearly as a real rank. ■ See your progress • High score and daily scores tracked in charts • Switch between weekly, monthly, and all-time trends • A practice calendar makes your run visible ■ Stay motivated • Online ranking: compete with players worldwide, by week or all-time • Daily missions: see today's goals at a glance • Reminders: a gentle nudge at your practice time ■ Make it yours • "Practice" mode: pick your own level (digits, count, speed) with no pressure • "Challenge" mode: race the clock and test your limit • Toggle read-aloud and sound effects A few minutes of flash anzan a day turns calculation practice into a habit. Why not start with one round today? ■ Privacy Policy & Terms of Use Privacy Policy: https://takayukimeilyn.github.io/menuplanner/privacy-policy.html Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

NEW • Skip ahead: in Practice, pick a grade above your current one and take that grade's exam. Get 7 of 10 right and you're certified at that grade. • Tap "Keep going" on the Practice results screen to jump straight into the next round. You'll also see how many more correct answers you need for your promotion exam. IMPROVEMENTS • In the early grades, you now reach the promotion exam sooner. • New streak rewards on day 2 (+1 heart) and day 3 (a Streak Shield that keeps your streak alive if you miss a day). • The first time you use Custom practice, it starts from settings that match your current grade. • With notifications on, we'll tell you how many questions are left until your promotion exam, and remind you when your streak is about to end. FIXES • Fixed an issue where Daily Mission heart rewards sometimes weren't added correctly. Thanks for practicing with us! Send feedback anytime from Settings in the app.
