Times tables, finally fun. MultiplyByFun turns multiplication practice into a fast, funny game that kids actually want to play — and that gets them ready for the next math test. Pick a table from 1 to 9, answer 10 questions against the clock, and hear what the sassy voice coach has to say about it. Every table your child masters gets a check mark. Master all nine, and a trophy is theirs. WHAT KIDS LOVE • A VOICE COACH WITH ATTITUDE After every round, MultiplyByFun reacts out loud: "Eight! Are you secretly using a calculator?" Perfect rounds get cheered, slow ones get teased ("Even the tortoise beat you!"). Always kind, always funny, never mean. • FRESH JOKES WITH APPLE INTELLIGENCE On iPhones and iPads with Apple Intelligence, every comment is written fresh by on-device AI, so no two rounds sound the same. It all happens privately on the device. • BEAT THE CLOCK 10 questions per round. Easy goes through the table in order, Medium and Hard mix it up and give less time. Faster answers mean better records. • TROPHIES & A GLOBAL LEADERBOARD Master all 9 tables on a level to win its trophy, then share it with friends and family. Kids who master Medium or Hard can join the optional global leaderboard. REAL TEST PRACTICE: TYPING MODE In class, there's no multiple choice. Typing Mode works like a real math test: your child sees the question and types the answer on a number pad. It builds true recall instead of guessing, 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 • Shareable with your family through Family Sharing Everything else is free: all 9 tables on Easy, Medium and Hard, the voice coach, trophies and the leaderboard. WHY PARENTS TRUST IT • No ads, ever • No tracking, no analytics, no account • The leaderboard is optional: your child is asked first, and names are generated automatically — nothing personal is shared • Practice works offline • Made by an independent developer Download MultiplyByFun and watch the times tables click — one sassy round at a time.
