Times Tables form a key educational requirement; learn them when you are young and you’ll never forget them. Times Tables Personal Assistant has been developed to help children of all ages build confidence with their knowledge of Times Tables. The tables 1 to 12 are included and you can select one table to learn at a time or any number of tables to test your knowledge. Times Tables is another product from the Unit11 ‘Math can be fun series’. In that series, Shopkeeper+ (adding) reached #6 in the UK charts and ‘Day with a Difference’ (differences) is prominent in the world-wide Apps for Kids ‘Fun learning’ section. The App supports multiple individual users and retains each individual’s preferences/settings enabling a number of children in one family to use the same App. Designed for iPhone and iPad. This app is fully compatible with iOS 11. Spoken Tables. When learning the tables, you can select the table’s format (1 x 3 = or 3 x 1 =) and you can choose from a US or UK voice too! Practicing Your Knowledge. Choose one or more tables and then select from 6 different game modes (Grid, Multiple Choice, Drag & Drop, Keyboard 1, Keyboard 2 and Matching Pairs). Or simply choose random to experience several methods at random. You can adjust the user settings to set the length of each game from 3 to 10 questions. For example, this enables the grid (which takes longer) to be set to a low number of repetitions whilst ‘multiple choice’ (which is quite quick) could be set to have a much higher number of repetitions. Testing Your Knowledge. Choose from 4 levels of testing for each table (Merit, Bronze, Silver and Gold) and try to earn the medal. The test menu uses coloured buttons to show attainment level, try to earn them all! Timer. Try to beat your best time for completing the test for each table. The timer is optional. Multiplayer. There is a turn based 2 player test mode included. This fun element can be used for children to test themselves against friends, brothers and sisters or even mum and dad! To keep things fair there are no time limits and each player can select different tables for the test. So whilst Johnny or Tina do the 10 Times Table, mum or dad could do the 7, 8 and 9: try it, Math can be fun for families too. www.unit11apps.com | facebook.com/unit11apps

HOW MAP MINDED ARE YOU? Race across the globe, hunt down famous landmarks, rebuild continents, paint national flags and discover fascinating facts about every country on Earth. Whether you're a geography expert, a curious traveller or simply enjoy a good challenge, there's always somewhere new to explore. LANDMARK CHALLENGE You have 80 seconds to locate 10 famous places from a collection of more than 1,000 landmarks. Drop your pin anywhere on the map and discover how far away you were. Every kilometre counts — can you finish the round with the smallest total distance? PLAY WITH FLAGS • Paint the Flag — Recreate national flags one section and colour at a time. • Drop the Flag — Place each flag into the country where you think it belongs. • Guess the Flag — Identify countries from their flags using multiple-choice or text-entry challenges. BUILD THE WORLD Choose a continent and fit its countries back into place. Start with visible country borders in Easy mode, then attempt the more difficult continent outline-only challenge. Each misplaced country shows exactly how far away your guess landed. TEST YOUR GEOGRAPHY • Guess capital cities from their countries. • Guess countries from their capital cities. • Play with multiple-choice answers or type them yourself for a tougher challenge. • Race through the alphabet and name countries or capital cities beginning with each letter. • Identify countries from their silhouette. • Drag from letter to letter around the circle to spell the hidden country. FIND THE HIDDEN TRAVELLER (WOLLY) Search the world map for a tiny glass disc hiding somewhere on Earth. Find it, identify the country or ocean, then watch it scurry off to a new location. Follow its direction and distance clues, reveal hints when you need them and use hot-or-cold searches to close in on its hiding place. HEAD SCRATCHERS Ten questions with no clock on them at all. Which five countries end in the letter L? Which of the 195 capitals comes first alphabetically? Name the seven -stans. You are never handed the answer. You are told something true about every guess — where a capital sits in the alphabet, how many letters a country has, which vowel it is missing — and left to work out the rest. Take a hint if you want one. Some of them take days. EXPLORE THE WORLD Tap any country to discover its population, cities, history, geography, fun facts and more. Measure distances between any two places, see the great-circle route across the globe, tap the map to reveal precise coordinates and unravel the world's time zones. KEEP YOUR TRAVEL JOURNAL Record the countries you have visited and when you visited them. See your travels highlighted on the world map and discover what percentage of the world you have explored. WATCH THE WORLD GROW A live population estimate on the main menu gives you an ever-changing glimpse of our remarkable planet. BUY IT ONCE That is the whole arrangement. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no adverts, and nothing held back to unlock later. No account and no sign-in either, and nothing about you is collected or sent anywhere. Apart from one optional button that fetches the newest population figures, it all works perfectly well in aeroplane mode. Twelve geography games. More than 1,000 landmarks. A whole world of information. How much of the world can you discover?
