***** 2nd Place for Best Elementary Student App!!! http://bestappever.com/awards/2012/winner/eled TeachMe: 2nd Grade is the fourth installment in the popular TeachMe series of educational apps for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. TeachMe: 2nd Grade teaches six age-appropriate subjects to second grade children: spelling, sight words, long addition, long subtraction, fast addition and fast subtraction. TeachMe: 2nd Grade's unique TeachTech character recognition engine interprets a child's written answers, helping to reinforce writing skills while teaching math and spelling. TeachMe: 2nd Grade keeps children engaged with a unique reward system where children earn coins by playing learning games at the school. They can move around the rest of TeachTown to spend their coins on fun rewards. Children can make fun photos at the Photobooth, collect stretchable shapes at the Shape Store, visit their virtual aquarium at the Fish Store, and decorate different scenes at the Art Store. The simple and intuitive user interface is designed to be child friendly, which allows children to play without help from an adult. An animated teacher (Mimi Mouse) gives verbal instructions and feedback to encourage the child to learn and succeed! In addition, the learning screens are colorful, fun and rotate between six different subjects so children don't get bored. TeachMe: 2nd Grade is the only educational app which reads your child's writing using TeachTech, 24x7digital's writing recognition engine. Children write their answers for math and spelling questions and TeachMe: 2nd Grade reads them using TeachTech. If your child needs help, TeachMe: 2nd grade will show them how to write the correct answer including the proper stroke order. Each child has an achievements screen which motivates and encourages learning by showing progress and levels for each topic. Parents can use this screen to quickly see progress of their child. Parents can select which subjects they want, set different difficulty levels, and even choose specific questions. Parents can also review performance history for each subject to check how their child is doing. FEATURES: • TeachTech writing recognition • Achievement screen shows progress and levels for each topic • Explore TeachTown to spend coins on fun rewards • Turn ordinary pictures into fun photos at the Photobooth • Collectable stretchable shapes reward found at the Shape Store • Tend to a Virtual Aquarium with 10 types of fish and 50+ items • 8 different sticker reward scenes: sky, space, playground, beach, underwater reef, pirate cove, city, farm • Over 175+ different stickers for adding to scenes • Classroom friendly personalized learning for 40 students • Select which subjects are displayed for each child • Turn on/off specific questions within a subject • Change the number of correct questions to earn a reward • Change the number of questions in a row to mark a question learned • Tracks performance for each subject item (last five) • Export Sticker Scenes, Photobooth images, and Aquarium snapshots to Photos app, for emailing or using as wallpaper LEARNING SUBJECTS: • Sight Words: Dolch Second Grade • Spelling: 100+ 2nd grade level words • Fast Addition: practice single digit math facts in preparation for long addition • Fast Subtraction: practice one's column math facts in preparation for long subtraction • Long Addition: 2 and 3 digit addition including regrouping (carrying) • Long Subtraction: 2 and 3 digit subtraction including regrouping (borrowing) Email us at support@24x7digital for help & suggestions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Math Bingo at 4.5 against TeachMe's 3.8. Math Bingo also leads on monetization model (free vs paid) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 37). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
TeachMe costs $2.99 and Math Bingo $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Math Bingo holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Bingo has 1.1K ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of TeachMe's written reviews are positive against 92% of Math Bingo's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
