Read full description

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 with review intervals of 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 30 days. Review dates adjust to the child’s answers. A CLEAR DAILY PATH • Daily Mission is the main learning path. Depending on progress, it can include a warm-up, new facts, targeted practice, and mixed review. • Extra Practice reinforces facts your child has already tried. • Bedtime Quiz offers a short review from 7 PM local time. Extra Practice and Bedtime Quiz require at least five different facts to have been attempted. Availability also depends on daily limits and progress. BUILT FOR CHILDREN • Large, equal-size answer choices • Gentle feedback and encouraging celebrations • Plausible answer choices based on nearby multiplication facts • A pause option when recent answers show that practice is becoming difficult • Forgiving streaks with one grace day per week FOR PARENTS Create up to six child profiles, each with separate progress and streaks. The protected Parents page brings together a practice calendar, daily practice limits, recorded activity, and a multiplication map with optional ideas for helping. Reset, delete, privacy links, and store actions require parent access. Children can change their own name and character from Home. 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 or the selected browser, and the app sends no child profile or learning payload through those actions. Optional support email is sent only if you choose to send it from your mail app. Deleted profiles or reset progress can remain in local recovery copies and return after recovery. In-app reset or deletion does not erase every local copy. For complete removal from this installation, use iOS Settings → General → iPhone/iPad Storage → Multiplication Bug → Delete App, not Offload App. This removes all learner profiles and local review state. Device/cloud backups and sent support emails must be managed separately. Includes tables 2 through 9, multipliers 1 through 10, and 15 interface languages.
