Everything in SumSprint
This page describes the current app for children and parents. Names match the English interface. Dutch is also available in Settings.
Practice that matches your child
- Practise multiplication tables, division, addition, and subtraction.
- Choose which tables and number ranges to use.
- Run a fixed set of up to 500 problems, or answer as many as possible in a timed sprint.
- Use “Practise what’s tricky” to repeat facts that are still slow or often wrong, within the tables and ranges you already chose.
- Optionally require typing the correct answer after a mistake before the next problem. The first answer still counts toward the grade.
- Practice settings are remembered for the next session.
Clear results after every session
- See how many answers were correct and an accuracy grade after a completed timed sprint.
- Review every answer, with average time per problem.
- Filter the list by all, correct, incorrect, unanswered, or the slowest 10% of answered problems.
- Rows are tinted from green to red based on how long a problem took, so slower facts stand out at a glance. Color is not the only signal; filters and labels remain available.
- Retry incorrect problems or the slowest 10% without affecting grades or earned points.
- Keep and delete a history of practice results that synchronizes through iCloud.
- Follow progress with hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly charts of the average time per problem.
- See a skill heatmap in Results for times tables, division, and tricky addition or subtraction facts — including for a linked child.
Motivation that stays in the family’s hands
- A daily practice streak is shown on the Practice tab.
- Optionally set a local daily reminder in Settings.
- Completed sessions earn points only after a parent reviews and approves them.
- Parents can approve all pending sessions at once after one PIN check.
- Exchange approved points for one-time or recurring rewards that a parent configures.
- Recurring rewards stay available to earn again; one-time rewards move to history after redemption.
A personal profile, with parent controls
- Add the child’s name and see it together with available points at the top of Practice.
- Choose one of six illustrated avatars or a personal photo. Tap the avatar to pan, zoom, and crop it.
- Protect point approval, reward management, and redemption with a four-digit parent PIN, synchronized through iCloud Keychain.
- Link parents and children across different iCloud accounts with a temporary, PIN-protected QR code.
- Linked parents can review and approve results and fully manage a child’s rewards from their own device.
- Parents can leave a linked child; the child account can revoke parent access after PIN confirmation.
Designed for everyday use
- Works offline; iCloud syncs practice results, answers, rewards, the child’s name, and the avatar between the family’s devices when available.
- Available in English and Dutch. The app defaults to English unless the device language is Dutch.
- Layouts for iPhone and iPad, with Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, Reduce Motion, and full Light and Dark Mode support.
- A consistent, child-friendly visual design across practice, results, rewards, and settings.
- No advertising, tracking, or analytics.
How a typical week looks
The child practises on the Practice tab, optionally after a local reminder. When a session finishes, the grade is visible immediately. Points wait until a parent approves the session in Results. Approved points can be spent on rewards the parent set up. A parent on another Apple Account can do the same after linking with the QR code.
