This app will test your maths skills, starting with simple sums through to more complex multiplication and division. There are 25 questions per level. For every correct answer you get a star, with the aim to get all 25 correct. Complete one level to unlock further levels until you have completed them all. This app is great for children and adults alike but all of the questions are based around Key Stage 1 and 2 style questions so great for children 5+ years. Why not really test your brain power by activating the timer mode and answer questions against the clock - same aim just more pressure! Are you a maths expert and can you get all of the stars?

Designed for children aged 5 to 11, Squeebles Maths Race offers an exciting 1-player or 2-player game, which makes practising addition, subtraction, multiplication and division a huge amount of fun. The app has been carefully designed to challenge each child’s unique ability level, allowing players of different abilities to take part in a "Maths Race" against one another. Features: > 1 or 2 player mode lets you take part in a maths race against a friend, sibling or the computer. > Choose from addition, subtraction, multiplication or division questions. > 4 difficulty levels allow each child to compete at a level appropriate for them. > Parents / teachers can lock difficulty levels and certain times tables on a per-child basis. > Progress is tracked for each child so parents and teachers can see how they're doing. > With 35 Squeebles and 12 flipfish to collect, there are plenty of rewards for children to earn for doing well on the educational part of the app. > Password-protected parent / teacher zone contains stats and settings for each child. > Unlimited numbers of children can be registered with the app. > No in app purchases, no advertising and no internet links of any kind. The actual race takes place in the Rushing River on Squeeble Island. Children choose a Squeeble, and then a Flipfish for the Squeeble to ride upon. Once they’ve selected which maths skills they’d like to be tested on and chosen a difficulty level, the race begins! With each correct answer, the child’s Flipfish swims a little further toward the finish line and the winner is the first to answer ten questions correctly! This is the first app within the series of Squeebles educational apps to introduce an element of competition into learning (in the 2-player mode) – a feature that teachers have suggested works well for some children – although we’ve carefully designed the app so that each child is competing at the level that’s just right for them. In one-player mode, children can choose a friendly Squeeble opponent, who is either a mathematical ‘Beginner’, ‘Rookie’, ‘Pro’, ‘Expert’, ‘Legend’ or ‘Super Legend’. In two-player mode, children will enjoy the rare opportunity to use a touchscreen at the same time as a sibling, friend or classmate – it’s a great way to maximise learning time without needing a device for each child. As well as being motivated by the wish to win a race, children are awarded stars for answering questions correctly. The stars can be saved up and then traded in for different Squeebles and Flipfish to ride during the races. There are three scoreboards, which show the top ten racers for that day, that week and for ‘all time’. For parents and teachers, the "Parent / Teacher Zone" can be password protected and contains stats for each child so that you can keep in touch with their learning and progress. As with all Squeebles apps, we aim to offer a happy, positive, self-contained, environment for learning. Our apps have NO in-app purchases, NO third party advertising and NO active links that take children away from the confines of the app. We’re always grateful to people who take the time to review or rate our apps in the App Store. For support or enquiries, please email us at info@keystagefun.co.uk. We’re always happy to hear from you.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bubble Maths holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Maths has 67 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Bubble Maths's written reviews are positive against 64% of Squeebles Maths Race's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bubble Maths ships an update every 16 months, Squeebles Maths Race every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on August 25, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
