Great idea and nice app, congtrats! Love the simplicity and the elegance of the design!
I hope you don't mind me giving some criticism.
First of all, there are quite a lot of grammatical errors (for example, "Countdown lets you to play ...", etc.). I think it wouldn't be a problem to fix this as there are not many sentences in the app.
Then, when there is only one number left (after all possible operations are done), and it is not the correct one, timer keeps ticking and there is nothing to do but wait for it to stop. So it's better letting the user know that the answer is incorrect. But it's more of a bug, really.
At last, it would be nice to be able to solve riddles one after another instead of restarting the only riddle. Possibly earning points on the way, too.
Oh, and in the About section the version of the app is not correct.

The constructive criticisms like yours are always welcome :good:

Can you help me to fix the grammatical errors if I send you the strings.xml english file ?

When you have no number to make operations you can always cancel the previous operations by clicking on the dedicated button on the action bar. Did you see it ? May be, it is not really well explained also. I should find a better way to tell that to users by displaying a message when there is just a number and the count is not found.

Adding more challenges to the game would be a good idea. I need to find how to make that.

I will fix the version number in the About section and I will try to make the same with english labels if you can help me :).

So it's not a game over when only one number left as you can undo the last operation. It makes sense now. No need to change it =)

I was not necessarily talking about new challenges with different logic and rules. I meant a series of the same type of riddles that you can solve one by one. This way you can implement scores depending on how many and how fast riddles are solved.

Can you help me to fix the grammatical errors if I send you the strings.xml english file ?
I am not a native English speaker myself, nor am I a professional translator, so I cannot guarantee you I can fix everything.
But if you have no other options, I will help and try my best. Just PM me.
