Times tables practice that lives on the wrist. MultiplyByFun is a full multiplication game made for Apple Watch — it runs on its own, no iPhone needed. Ideal for kids with their own watch through Family Setup, and for grown-ups who want to keep their mental math sharp. MADE FOR THE WATCH • NO IPHONE NEEDED MultiplyByFun is a standalone Apple Watch app. Perfect for kids whose watch is set up with Family Setup: install it once and they can practice anywhere — on the bus, in the car, while waiting. • 10 QUESTIONS, BEAT THE CLOCK Pick a table from 1 to 9 and answer 10 questions against the clock. Easy goes through the table in order, Medium and Hard mix it up and give less time. A round takes less than a minute. • A VOICE COACH WITH ATTITUDE After every round, MultiplyByFun reacts out loud through the watch speaker. Perfect rounds get cheered, slow ones get teased ("Even the tortoise beat you!"). Always kind, always funny. • TROPHIES & LEADERBOARD Every mastered table gets a check mark. Master all 9 on a level to win its trophy. With an internet connection, you can also join the optional global leaderboard. REAL TEST PRACTICE: TYPING MODE No multiple choice in a real math test — and none in Typing Mode either. Type the answer on the number pad right on the watch. It builds true recall, so the times tables really stick. Typing Mode is a one-time purchase: • Unlocks Typing Mode for all 9 times tables • Pay once, keep it forever — no subscription Everything else is free: all 9 tables on Easy, Medium and Hard, the voice coach, trophies and the leaderboard.
