Help your child build confident multiplication recall through short, focused practice. Multiplication Bug is a free times-tables app for children ages 6–9. It uses spaced repetition to bring each fact back at expanding intervalsβ€”1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 30 daysβ€”so practice focuses on facts that need attention. A CLEAR DAILY PATH β€’ Daily Mission is the main learning path. Depending on progress, it can include a warm-up, new facts, targeted practice, and mixed review. β€’ Practice reinforces facts your child has already encountered. β€’ Evening Review offers a short review after 7 PM. BUILT FOR CHILDREN β€’ Large, equal-size answer choices β€’ Gentle feedback and encouraging celebrations β€’ Plausible answer choices based on nearby multiplication facts β€’ A pause option when recent answers show that practice is becoming difficult β€’ Forgiving streaks with one grace day per week FOR PARENTS Create up to six child profiles, each with separate progress and streaks. A parental gate protects profile management, detailed progress, practice-intensity settings, privacy links, and store actions. PRIVACY FIRST Learning and profile data stay in app storage on your device. There are no accounts, ads, in-app purchases, analytics SDKs, or tracking SDKs. Core learning works offline. Parent-only native review and store or browser links are controlled by Apple, Google, or the selected browser, and the app sends no child profile or learning payload through those actions. Includes tables 2 through 9, multipliers 1 through 10, and 15 interface languages.

About

1History

Read full description

Ever wondered what the rest of the world was like the year you were born? Or why your β€˜World History’ course was 90% Western history? 1History is an on-screen globe you can turn through history. Sweep the dial or tap any dot and read what happened then or there β€” a few sentences from the historical record. Great Zimbabwe and the Magna Carta sit at the same size. Enheduanna, the first author whose name we know, gets the same daylight as the Renaissance. 1History isn't a collection of historical facts. It's a different way of seeing history β€” spatially, simultaneously, and without automatically putting one civilization at the center. No account, no tracking, no server β€” your entire collection is in the app, on your device, pictures included. WHAT'S INSIDE β€’ The spine: anchor events that give the globe its chronology, plus the starter cards β€” 400 events on the globe once the collection is on your device. β€’ The library: hundreds more events to bring onto the globe, card by card. β€’ Packs: choose a free regional pack and a free thematic pack. The first wave includes Marco Polo's Journey and Wonders of the World β€” with new waves to follow. β€’ Game mode: up to ten players, free in every tier. BEFORE YOU INSTALL In some places, possessing or publishing certain historical material can be a crime. This app installs with a small set of events from the deep past; the full collection downloads only if you choose it, after a notice in the app. The store records the install itself regardless. A few events are withheld where carrying them is deemed dangerous.
