Become a master of mental arithmetic! Mental arithmetic is not difficult, it just takes practice. With MATHICS you can practice unlimitedly. And you can practice unlimitedly at any time, whether you're offline or online, whether you have 3 minutes or an hour. And you can practice WITHOUT being disturbed by ADVERTISING. And you can practice ALL basic arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. Have you ever been annoyed that your classmates or colleagues can do math faster than you? Yes? No, they are not smarter than you. They just had more practice. Catch up with them now! Whether at school, at work or at home: mental arithmetic helps! Amaze yourself with your skills! Recognize that mental arithmetic is fun, but that it's even more fun to become faster and more confident with basic arithmetic operations and to be able to concentrate and focus for longer. Find out how you become faster with each practice session, solve more difficult tasks, or make fewer mistakes. MATHICS gives you endless tasks in nine difficulty levels. All difficulty levels are already installed with this free app. This means no hidden costs through in-app purchases or subscriptions. At the lower levels, simple basic knowledge of the 4 basic arithmetic operations is sufficient to solve the tasks. At the higher levels you need a real professional to solve the tasks in your head. For example, for multiplication and division, level 3 corresponds to the small multiplication table, level 4 corresponds to the large multiplication table. Each level has 6 to 16 tasks and corresponding solutions. There are two ways to connect solutions to tasks. Either you find the solution to the task marked in red, then simply tapping on the correct solution is enough. Or you find the solution to any task, then you can drag the solution box onto the task and connect it to it. If you really don't know any further, the help function will provide you with the right solution. Now have fun exploring your abilities.

Your times tables – automatic at last. 1×1 Master is the times-tables trainer for adults. For everyone who briefly freezes when 7×8 or 6×9 comes up in everyday life – and finally wants to change that. Calm, respectful, and free of childish clutter. No brute-force memorization: 1×1 Master builds on the tables you already know and derives every hard fact from them. HOW IT WORKS • 2-minute sprint in three phases First estimate the magnitude, then recall the fact reliably, and finally apply it to everyday situations – short enough for every day. • Anchor hints Hard facts are derived from anchors you already know: 7×8 becomes 5×8 plus 2×8. Real understanding instead of blind drilling. • Spaced repetition Speed and accuracy decide when a fact comes back. You practice exactly what is still shaky – not what you mastered long ago. • Mastery matrix The 10×10 matrix shows at a glance which facts are automatic, which are in training, and which are still uncertain. • No-shame onboarding A calm check without right-or-wrong judgment determines your starting point. No pressure, no red pen. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No accounts, no sign-up • No cloud – everything stays on your iPhone • No ads, no tracking • Works completely offline Times tables are not kid stuff. They are a foundation – and it is never too late to finally lay it properly.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MATHICS at none against 1×1 Master's 3. MATHICS also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
