Exercise Your Right Brain

Andrew Walters wants to help everyone be a genius at maths. Just as you need to train your body to run faster become an Olympic sprint champion, you need to train your mind to think faster to become a maths genius. Andrew developed Maths Trainer in LiveCode to do just that.
Maths Trainer tests and helps you improve your mental ability by letting you play fun games to keep your mind fit. The games become progressively more difficult to improve your brain performance.

Andrew originally developed the app on his desktop and said "I was blown away by how easily and quickly it went over to mobile. With a little bit of work I was able to get a fun and full functioning app running on my phone."

Sadly, it is no longer available in the play store.
