I had been trying to figure out a way to incorporate flash cards into my son's life all during 1st grade. As 2nd began, I realized there might be an App for that. There is, and it rocks! Now flashcards (OK, ok on the iPhone) are a carrot instead of a groaner."

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: ArithmeTick at none against Ace Math Flash Cards's shown. ArithmeTick also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months) and rating (4.2 vs 4.0). Ace Math Flash Cards's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 246). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ArithmeTick holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ace Math Flash Cards has 2K ratings behind it against 246, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of ArithmeTick's written reviews are positive against 85% of Ace Math Flash Cards's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ArithmeTick ships an update every 2 months, Ace Math Flash Cards every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
