*** Full use of this app requires an active account for Symphony Math®. If you do not have account information, please contact your school for more information. *** A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO A DIFFICULT PROBLEM Many students struggle with math because they rely on arbitrary memorization techniques to answer specific questions. With this approach, students do not gain a substantive understanding of fundamentals and simply cannot adjust to more sophisticated problem solving. With Symphony Math®, these problems are resolved. Symphony Math® helps students understand mathematics at a conceptual level. Instead of being overwhelmed by numbers, students move at their own speed and learn how math works. Through every stage of Symphony Math®, students gain a strong foundation in underlying principles and become better equipped to take on basic and advanced subjects. Going far beyond rote math drills and practice tests, this special teaching solution illuminates the core of learning and produces confident, more capable students. BUILT IN ASSESSMENT Students take a Fall, Winter, and Spring assessment that quickly identifies at-risk students and helps track growth. A ROBUST INTERVENTION THAT SUPPORTS STUDENTS WHO NEED HELP IN MATH The best practices in developmental psychology and cognitive science are the cornerstones of Symphony Math®. Our uniquely designed delivery methods ensure that students – regardless of learning styles or knowledge levels – fully grasp fundamental mathematical ideas, even for difficult-to-explain and abstract concepts. The result is a solid foundation for acquiring higher math skills, as well as a positive learning experience.

The only app you'll need to ensure your child is completely fluent in addition and subtraction math facts. What parents say about our awesome apps: *** 5 stars! My son tried other apps, but after using them, I couldn't tell how well he knew his math facts. Was he done? Did he still need practice? With your app, I know exactly how he is doing - and best of all, he LOVES working for the reward game. *** 5 stars! I like how my son can progress independently. The timer feature really ensures fluency. His recall is MUCH improved. Thanks!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Math Facts Fluency at 100% against SymphonyMath's 48%. SymphonyMath's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SymphonyMath holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SymphonyMath has 505 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of SymphonyMath's written reviews are positive against 100% of Math Facts Fluency's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SymphonyMath ships an update monthly, Math Facts Fluency every 53 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
