Spaced Math helps kids master addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts with short daily practice. Instead of random drills, it uses spaced repetition to bring each fact back right when it's ready to review — so practice stays short and focused on what your child actually needs. FREE TO TRY Start free with one child profile and one operation of your choice — the complete spaced-repetition experience, with typing, voice, handwriting, iCloud backup, and progress all included. One simple unlock adds everything else, and it's shared with your whole family. No subscriptions, no ads, no accounts. MATH FACTS THAT STICK Every child gets a personal review queue. New facts, weak facts, recent mistakes, and overdue facts are tracked separately, so sessions stay short and useful. Choose any operation and control the active numbers from 1–12. THREE ANSWER MODES Kids can answer the same fact three ways: • Keypad — fast, simple, reliable. • Voice — speak the answer naturally ("twenty-four", "two four", or "144"). • Handwriting — write with Apple Pencil or a finger. Switch modes anytime. Voice uses Apple's speech recognition; we never see or store the audio. BUILT FOR FAMILIES Create up to 8 profiles on one device. Each profile keeps its own progress, settings, streak, mistakes, and review schedule. Parent-locked settings keep kids practicing the facts you picked. THREE SESSION TYPES • Study — spaced-repetition review for the facts due today. • Practice — free drill, biased toward weak facts by default. • Review — focused cleanup for mistakes, lapsed facts, and overdue cards. READABLE PROGRESS See due and new counts, learned facts by operation, streaks, and mistakes. Parents can tell what's improving and what still needs work. OPTIONAL ICLOUD SYNC AND HOUSEHOLDS Use Spaced Math on one device, or turn on iCloud sync to keep progress in step across your devices. Set up a household to share every child's profile with family members. Manual JSON export/import is available for backup. Sync uses Apple's CloudKit — your data goes to your private iCloud, never to us. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No ads, no subscriptions, no accounts. • One simple one-time unlock — that's the only purchase, and it's Family-Shared. • No analytics, no third-party SDKs, no developer-operated servers. • Microphone audio is processed live and discarded. We never see it. • Deleting a profile actually wipes it — including the iCloud copy on the originating account. iPhone and iPad. iOS 16.0 or later.

Multiplication Practice Kids

Learn the multiplication tables from 1 to 12 the way they actually stick: short, timed drills you can finish in under a minute, repeated until the answers come without thinking. Most times-tables apps are either a static chart to stare at or a cartoon game where the math is buried under mini-games. This one keeps the math in front: a tap-to-explore grid that shows the patterns, a reference card with all 12 facts and a memory trick for every table, and drills that time you so you can see recall actually getting faster. Everything runs on the device, offline, with no accounts and no ads. WHAT YOU GET - Answers that come faster every session, with a timer on every drill so speed is visible, not guessed - A clear picture of which tables are mastered and which still need work, table by table - 12-question Classic Drills and 6-question Quick 6 rounds for days when there is only a minute - Mixed Tables rounds that pull from all 12 tables, so facts are recalled at random instead of in order - A reason to come back tomorrow: XP, levels, day streaks, 13 achievements and a daily challenge - An optional daily reminder at 7pm so practice becomes a habit instead of a good intention PERFECT FOR - Parents drilling 2nd to 5th grade math facts at the kitchen table - Kids who know the tables but freeze when asked out of order - Teachers and tutors who need a quick warm-up or exit-ticket routine - Adults rebuilding mental arithmetic they have not used in years WHY NOT JUST USE A PRINTED CHART A chart teaches recognition, not recall, and paper cannot tell you that x7 takes twice as long as x2. This app records best score, attempts and accuracy for every table and every session, so practice goes where it is actually needed instead of starting at x1 again. PRIVACY Every drill result, streak and achievement is stored on the device. No account, no sign-in, no analytics profile, no ads, nothing sold or shared. Works fully offline, including in airplane mode. FULL ACCESS Full access unlocks the whole app after the intro: all 12 tables, every drill, the Mixed Tables random mode, plus mastery tracking, XP, streaks and achievements. Available as a weekly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in App Store settings; the lifetime option is a single payment. Pick one table today, run a Quick 6, and beat that time tomorrow.
