Times tables practice becomes a few minutes a day your child asks for. BlitzTables notices which facts have not landed yet and drills exactly those. No account, no sign-in, no adverts. Practice works without an internet connection. Six parts, one device Learn: the whole table appears at once. Tap through it step by step, and nothing can go wrong. Practise: the facts in random order, at your child’s own pace, on a number pad built for small fingers. Timed test: a test against the clock, in the shape schools actually use. Certificates: every test that is passed earns a certificate, with the name and the date on it. Duel: two players on opposite sides of the same device, the same questions, first one to twenty. Progress: one grid with every fact from every table, coloured by how well it is known. See at a glance where things get stuck. Nine curriculums The United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Finland and Poland. Each one brings its own range of tables, its own test format and its own awards. Choose the United Kingdom and you get the tables up to 12, a Multiplication Tables Check practice run, and the Times Tables Certificate to work towards. What is free Unlimited learning and practice, every table in the chosen curriculum. One timed test a week. One certificate. The duel and the full progress grid. As many child profiles as your household needs. There is no cap on that. What Pro adds Tricky sums: the app drills what has not landed yet, on its own. Unlimited timed tests, instead of one a week. The complete history, instead of the last seven days. Fourteen days to try it Everything in Pro is open for fourteen days from the first launch, with one exception: during the trial, too, your child can earn one diploma, just as on the free plan. No card, no account. After that you land on the free plan, not on an empty screen. A subscription applies to one device. There is no family sharing: a second phone or tablet needs its own subscription. Manage or cancel it in your App Store settings. What happens to the data Names, avatars, practice history and certificates are sent nowhere by the app. Not to us, and not to any other company. There is no account and no sign-in. Nothing asks for an email address or a date of birth. No adverts, and no software from other companies that records what you do in the app. What does leave the device is the administration of a subscription. We have RevenueCat in the United States handle that: a random number created for this device and the store’s receipt, and beyond that no name, no result and no certificate. Your device’s own automatic backup is separate from the app. On an iPhone or iPad the app’s storage falls under your iCloud backup, if you have that switched on. The full privacy statement is at blitztables.cloud/en/privacy. Questions, or something not working? Email hello@bliqo.app. You will get a reply within a few working days. Subscription details β€’ BlitzTables Pro is available monthly and yearly. β€’ Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. β€’ A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. β€’ Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. β€’ BlitzTables Pro forever is a one-off purchase. It does not renew and is never charged again. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://blitztables.cloud/en/privacy

Subtraction tables are practised out loud. A subtraction appears, the child says the answer, the app listens and validates. Table after table, the answer becomes a reflex. A child who taps a digit can count back on their fingers. A child who answers out loud, at a steady pace, has no time to count back: they know. Flash Vocal β€” Subtraction only validates an answer that is genuinely spoken, something no multiple-choice exercise can check. A path of 38 steps - All 10 tables, from βˆ’1 to βˆ’10, each split in two halves (answers 0 to 5, then 6 to 10) so the child is never overloaded - Never a negative answer: every subtraction from 1 βˆ’ 1 to 20 βˆ’ 10, with an answer between 0 and 10 - A review of each table, then cumulative reviews mixing every table learned so far: βˆ’1 to βˆ’3, βˆ’1 to βˆ’4… up to βˆ’1 to βˆ’10 - One-minute sessions: 1, 2 or 3 stars depending on the number of correct answers - A guided demo before the very first session: "5 βˆ’ 2 = ?" What you follow - Result screen: a pace indicator (animals, bikes or racing cars, the child's choice) and how the child felt about the session - Statistics per table and per session, with the reaction and pronunciation time of every answer - Optional daily reminder, which only fires on days without a session Who it is for - Ages 6 β€” the first tables: taking away 1, 2 or 3 without counting back - Ages 7 to 8 β€” every table up to βˆ’10, crossing ten, at speed - Remediation β€” filling a missing reflex, whatever the age - Teachers β€” up to 30 pupils tracked separately The natural companion to Flash Vocal β€” Addition: the same tables, in the same order, read backwards. Free and subscription Tables βˆ’1, βˆ’2, βˆ’3 and the first half of βˆ’4 are available without a subscription, with no time limit and no cap on sessions, for one profile. The subscription opens the whole path and several profiles. Family (3 profiles) and Education (30 profiles) plans, for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 1 year. Auto-renewable, cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Privacy Speech recognition runs entirely on the device. No speech is ever transmitted, no recording is kept. The app works 100% offline, with no ads, no account and no tracking. Only anonymous crash reports are sent in case of a failure, to fix bugs β€” never any personal or voice data. Available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Czech, Turkish, Catalan, Ukrainian and Russian: the app speaks the device's language. French is built in; the other voices download once, then everything works offline.
