Hit the Button Math is an app designed to help develop mental math and calculation skills. The app is aimed at 5-11 year olds. There are 166 different game modes of varying difficulty so it is useful throughout grades K-5. Answer as many questions as possible in minute-long games, or you can now practice without the pressure of a countdown timer. Questions are randomly generated which means it is very replayable. The game has been carefully designed for children, with large, widely spaced buttons. We recommend that young children play on a tablet. Six main topics are covered: * Times tables - up to 10 or 12 * Division - up to 10 or 12 * Square numbers * Number bonds * Doubling * Halving Between these topics, the four standard arithmetic operations are covered: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. You can create up to 30 player profiles per device to track an individual's scores. If you prefer there's also the option to play as a guest. All data is stored locally on your device so you don't have to worry about privacy issues. We've also made it very easy for children to quickly switch between profiles after playing a game, if they're sharing a device. After each game, the score achieved is displayed along with the child's high score. Bronze, silver or gold stars and trophies are awarded depending on the score achieved in each game.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Splash Mini holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Splash Mini has 6.7K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Splash Mini's written reviews are positive against 67% of Hit the Button Math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Splash Mini ships an update every 3 weeks, Hit the Button Math every 22 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
