At a glance
Prices and models are from each app's US App Store listing in November 2026. They change, so check before you buy.
| App | Price | Covers | Best for | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sumtown (that's us) | Web game free · iPhone app coming soon | Add and subtract to 20, number bonds, fact families | Kids aged 4–8 who need practice to feel like play | Plays in any browser with no signup; there's no app to download yet |
| Khan Academy Kids | Free, no ads or subscriptions | Reading and math for ages 2–8 | A broad, free early learning app | Math is one part of a wide curriculum, not a facts program |
| Moose Math | Free, no ads or subscriptions | Counting, addition, subtraction, shapes, for ages 3–7 | Younger kids meeting addition for the first time | Aimed at kindergarten and 1st grade, so it won't reach facts to 20 in depth |
| Marble Math Junior | $3.99 once, no in-app purchases | Early math from shapes to money, with audio questions | Kids who like a maze-style game | One purchase, with no subscription; covers much more than facts |
| Math Fact Master | $0.99 once | All four operations | Older kids drilling chosen numbers | Flash card and typed test modes; plain rather than playful |
| Math Facts - Flash Cards | Free to download | All four operations, with chosen number ranges | Families who want straight drill | Its listing says no ads and no games, and it keeps a score history |
| Kahoot! Numbers by DragonBox | Needs a Kahoot! Kids subscription | Number sense and adding and subtracting with numbers to 20 | Understanding what numbers are, before drilling | The app is free to download, but its content requires the subscription |
| Squeebles Number Bonds | $3.99 once, no in-app purchases | Number bonds to 10, 20, 50, 100 and beyond | Number bonds specifically | Built around the UK curriculum, with no ads or links out |
How to choose
Under 6, or not reading yet: look for spoken questions and no timers at the start. Sumtown, Moose Math and Khan Academy Kids all suit this age.
Six to eight, learning facts to 20: the question is whether your child will come back tomorrow. A game with hearts, prizes and variety does that for many kids, and straight drill suits the ones who like a score to beat.
An older child with gaps: a simple flash card app that lets you pick the exact numbers can be the quickest fix. Our printable flash cards do the same job on paper.
What we looked for
We read each app's App Store listing for its price, model and stated features, and we only list what we could confirm there. We didn't rank by star ratings. We looked for three things that matter for facts: does the app teach a way of thinking or only quiz, does it adapt, and does it interrupt practice with ads?
The cheapest way to decide: play free
The whole Sumtown game runs in your browser. Try a round with your child tonight.
Questions
What is the best math facts app?
It depends on the child. We're biased, but for ages 4–8 who need practice to feel like play we'd start with Sumtown in the browser, since it costs nothing to try. Sumtown's iPhone app isn't out yet.
Are there good free math facts apps?
Yes. Khan Academy Kids and Moose Math state on their listings that they're free with no ads or subscriptions.
Apps or worksheets?
Both. Paper is good for careful working, and games are good for fast recall. Our free worksheets pair with any app.
An app is on its way
We're building a Sumtown app for iPhone with the parts that need a real app: offline play for car rides, a town map that remembers how far your child got, and a parent report on every fact. Until then, the whole game is free right here.
