Drag your thumb and watch the colours, numbers, and answers change in real time. That's it. That's how learning starts. No logins. No setup. Just open and swipe. — EXPLORE — Every factor gets its own bold colour tile. Drag freely, discover patterns, and watch the equation on the central seam update instantly. Kids naturally start quizzing themselves within minutes. — QUIZ — A timed challenge with three lives and a ticking clock. Correct answers earn bonus seconds and build your streak. Wrong ones cost a life. Simple rules, intense focus — "just one more round" is the most common thing you'll hear. — TABLES — Lock one factor, scroll the other. Finally nail those 7s and 8s that always trip you up. Focused repetition without the boredom. — 8 HAND-CRAFTED THEMES — Bold primaries. Dusty pastels. Stark monochrome. Jewel-tone gemstones. Liquid metallic gradients. Every number gets its own hue. Switch themes in a tap — the whole app transforms. — TRACK YOUR PROGRESS — See every pair you've mastered.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Lattice at none against RayLab's shown. RayLab's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
