ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Multiplication Tables! holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Multiplication Tables! has 5.8K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Ascend Math's written reviews are positive against 88% of Multiplication Tables!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ascend Math ships an update weekly, Multiplication Tables! every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
