Common questions

Is it really free?
Yes — completely. There is nothing to buy inside it, no subscription, no adverts, and no "premium" version. Nothing is locked.
Does it need the internet?
No. It never connects to anything. It works in aeroplane mode, on a device with no SIM, and in a school hall with no signal.
How do I change the school year, or the timer?
Press and hold the Grown-ups button on the home screen for about three seconds. School year, whether practice is timed, the countdown, sounds, vibration, reminders and profiles all live in there. There is no way for a child to reach those settings by tapping around.
Can more than one child use it?
Yes. Add a profile for each child in the grown-ups area. Each keeps entirely separate progress, and there is no screen anywhere that compares one child with another.
What is the "Year 4 Check"?
A practice run of the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check: three practice questions, then 25 scored ones, six seconds each, multiplication only. It shows a score out of 25 and nothing else — there is no pass mark in the real check, so the app never suggests one.
How do I reset a child's progress?
Grown-ups area → Profiles → reset. Deleting the app removes everything permanently.
Where does my child's data go?
Nowhere. It stays on the device. See the privacy policy.

Privacy

Read the privacy policy — the short version is that the app collects nothing and sends nothing anywhere.
