OwlyMath does one thing: it builds fast, automatic recall of core math facts for kids. The core target audience is 6-8, but the app works well from Pre-K through 3rd grade. From adding numbers up to 10 for beginners, to multiplication tables and division up to 100 for older kids, OwlyMath meets your child right at their level. No ads. No subscriptions. No nagging for payments. Nothing in here pushes your child to spend money. ADAPTIVE MATH PRACTICE THAT WORKS Every answer is timed and recorded, fact by fact. The next session is built from that history, weighted toward the addition, subtraction, or multiplication facts your child misses or answers slowly. Facts they have never tried are mixed in so the whole table gets covered. Challenge mode leans much harder on the tricky ones. Practice time goes where it is actually needed, instead of running the same drill over facts they already know cold. PRAISE THAT MEANS SOMETHING Most apps cheer for showing up. OwlyMath cheers for getting better. Answer a fact faster than you ever have and Owly says so on the spot. Finish a session and it tells you what actually improved. A fact your child used to get wrong stays remembered until the day it is fixed — and then it gets its own moment. THE LEARNED COLLECTION Every fact your child knows cold, gathered on one screen and counted. Mastery stops being a number on a parent's report and becomes a pile that visibly grows. BUILT FOR PRE-K, KINDERGARTEN, & ELEMENTARY GRADES • Pre-K & Kindergarten: Addition and subtraction facts (numbers up to 10, totals up to 20) with visual hints. • 1st & 2nd Grade: Addition and subtraction fluency, mental math, and introductory story problems. • 3rd Grade & Up: Multiplication tables, division up to 100, and multi-step word problems. SHORT DAILY DRILLS & MOTIVATION Two five-minute sessions beat one long study block. Ten correct answers finish the Daily Challenge and keep the streak going, which for most kids is motivation enough on its own. Optional reminders for you name your child's latest win and sum up each week. VISUAL HINTS WHEN THEY GET STUCK A wrong answer never ends a session. Your child can try again, and "Show me!" draws the math problem out with counters in rows of five, the way they are set out in class. Counters taken away are crossed out rather than vanishing, so your child can count what is left, and a replay button runs it again as often as needed - turning a miss into a clear math lesson instead of a dead end. MATH STORY PROBLEMS & WORD PROBLEMS Word problems get their own 16-level ladder designed to build real problem-solving skills: • Early levels teach keyword clues (like "altogether" or "left behind"). • Later levels remove keyword hints so kids must understand the context. • Upper levels introduce 2-step and 3-step word problems. • Guided help: If stuck, "Show me how" walks through the steps. • 320 story problems, 20 per level, with new numbers every time. TRACK PROGRESS & MASTERY The Stats tab gives a Learning and Mastery score for each math operation, plus time practiced and slow facts. Progress Details opens a complete grid of every math fact, tinted by recent misses, so parents can see exact math fluency at a glance. WHAT COSTS MONEY? • FREE FOREVER: Addition, subtraction, and multiplication practice for one player. • ONE-TIME PLUS UPGRADE: About the price of a coffee, paid once, never a subscription. It unlocks division tables, story problems, extra player profiles, and full Progress Details. • FREE 7-DAY TRIAL: Every Plus feature free for a week, never charged automatically. Then buy Plus once or keep the free version. PRIVACY & OFFLINE PLAY OwlyMath runs 100% on device with no internet needed. No account, no sign-in, no tracking or ads. Practice history stays safe on your phone. 37 LANGUAGES Fully localized in 37 languages, including custom word problems written natively for each language's unique grammar. Questions or feedback?

About

Multiplication Games

Features
Read full description

Multipop is a math game for every age, from 3 to 99, made first for children: addition, subtraction, times tables and division, drawn with bubbles so every player sees why the answers are right. No ads. No account needed. PLAY A ROUND AT YOUR LEVEL Tap Play for a round of 8 problems at the player's level. Every round follows how the player is doing: when everything comes easily, the problems get a little harder; when they slip, the next round is gentler. The aim is to stay in the sweet spot where most answers are right and a few make them think. Tables go all the way to 20, and grown-ups get missing numbers, typed answers and two-step sums. LEVELS AND STAGES YOU CAN SEE A level bar fills during every round, and every skill is a stage on a path: finish one and a Stage up moment shows what comes next. Every problem, even the big ones, is drawn as bubbles. Made for iPhone and iPad. SPEEDY AND PRACTICE A TABLE Speedy: as many problems as you can pop against the clock, your own record to beat. Practice a table: pick any number from 2 to 20, watch every problem build with bubbles, then practise it. KIND BY DESIGN When an answer is wrong, the bubbles show how the right one is built, and that problem comes back later until it sticks. No red crosses, no lives, no timers except in Speedy. WORLD RANKS ON YOUR BEST ROUND Today ranks each player's best round of the day in their age group. This week adds up the best round of each of the last 7 days. The Countries Cup compares countries by points per player, so small countries can win too. On the ranks, players only appear with their nickname, checked before anyone sees it, and their country's flag. Grown-ups can turn the ranks off in Settings. There is no chat and no messages. PIP AND THE WHOLE FAMILY Every right answer earns points, points raise your level, and levels unlock outfits for Pip, the bubble mascot. Several players can play on one device, each with their own level. The grown-ups grid shows, for every fact, what is sure, nearly there, still tricky or not tried yet. A PLAN FROM DAY ONE Setup asks who plays, the birth year, a nickname, what matters to you, what feels hard and how many minutes a day, then makes a plan. MULTIPOP PRO Without Pro you get a round, then a new round 3 hours after the last one, and Practice is always open. Multipop Pro gives unlimited rounds and Speedy, unlimited tries to beat your best and climb the ranks, and unlimited players on one device. No account. Progress stays on the device and the games work offline; the ranks only get a nickname, a flag and points. Light and dark mode, 34 languages. Questions or ideas? Write to info@jcom.llc.
