Name a few of your favorite apps and reason you love them.

"Badland" and "Alto" - very beautiful mobile games

How long have you been working on this app?

2 and half months.

What need of the user did you have in mind when developing this app?

When developing this application, the user’s needs were taken into account in a mobile interactive manual for working on a real-life 1K62 lathe. Due to the lack of the ability to work on a real machine, anyone can get acquainted with the principles of turning directly on their smartphone or tablet.

In what way do you think your app is better than similar apps on the market? Please describe in detail what innovation you think you bring and what you are proud of in your app.

Unlike similar gaming applications, this simulator pays great attention to the mechanics of controlling the machine. User actions are similar to the actions of a real worker at the machine.

What are your future plans and expected features of the coming new versions of this app?

Development of simulators of more complex industrial machine tools with numerical control and not only.
