About

Ladder Math

Features
Read full description

Ladder Math is a fast native iPhone drill for practicing ground ladder reach. Each round shows a reference ladder and target reach. Choose a different ladder, raise the rungs, and commit when you think the reach matches. Some rounds have no match, so the right answer is knowing when the rig cannot hit the target. Built by Bravest Bio, Ladder Math is designed as a focused training aid, not a video game. It works offline, requires no account, and keeps progress on your device. Features: - Matching rounds based on common ladder configurations - Real-time visual ladder extension - Local streak and score tracking - First-launch rules guide - No login, no ads, no analytics Ladder Math is a training drill only. Always follow your department policies, manufacturer guidance, and real-world ladder safety practices.
