Times Tables & Math
Read full descriptionHide 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. 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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Times Tables & Math at none against Math Hero's shown. Times Tables & Math also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
