An app from the studio

Math Primer

Math Primer is a learning app for iPad and iPhone, for the first years of primary-school maths. Plus, minus, multiplication and division — practised on a digital chalkboard, with Apple Pencil or keyboard.

Six game modes: classic, marathon, sprint, free practice, a 40-stage learning path, and a multiplayer mode for siblings or parent and child. Problems are picked adaptively — the ones that aren't sticking come up more often, the ones that are come up less.

Whatever happens here happens on the device. The app is funded by the full version — ad-free. The wordmark and visuals are drawn in-house.

For parents: a separate area, gated by a four-digit code, with per-child statistics — which times tables are landing, where the difficulties are, how the daily streak is going. Multiple profiles are available in the full version, so each child keeps their own learning path and their own statistics.

On iPad in landscape, on iPhone in portrait. iOS 17 or later.

Full version (one-time purchase, with Family Sharing for up to six family members):

  • all 40 learning-path stages
  • all multiplication and division tables (the core tables 1, 2, 5 and 10 are free)
  • marathon, sprint and multiplayer
  • multiple child profiles
  • parent dashboard with statistics

Math Primer is the first app from the fiomira studio. fiomira — fiō mīra, "Where wonders quietly grow."

What sets the app apart

A digital chalkboard

Math Primer looks like a chalkboard. Slate green, chalk lettering, one problem per screen. The problem is in the foreground.

Adaptive difficulty

The app remembers which problems are giving trouble and brings them up more often. The ones that land come up less. The learning sorts itself out. If you'd rather not use adaptive difficulty, you can turn it off — the practice history still shows up in the parent statistics either way.

A separate area for parents

Behind a four-digit parent code sits a dashboard with statistics per child: which times tables are landing, where the difficulties are, how the daily streak is going. Multiple sibling profiles are available in the full version, each with its own learning path and statistics.

One purchase, unlocked for good

The full version is a one-time purchase with Family Sharing for up to six family members. The free version covers the early steps (plus, minus, times tables 1/2/5/10, the first thirteen learning-path stages, one child profile); the full version unlocks all tables, all 40 stages, marathon/sprint/multiplayer, and multiple profiles.

Frequently asked

What device do I need?
An iPad or iPhone running iOS 17 or later. On iPad the app runs in landscape, on iPhone in portrait. Apple Pencil is optional — on iPhone the keyboard input is the typical path anyway.
Is any data sent to fiomira?
No. Whatever your child does stays on the device. The app runs offline.
Is there a subscription?
No. The full version is a one-time purchase. Through Apple's Family Sharing, it can be shared with up to six family members.
What does the free version include?
Plus, minus, and the times tables for the core rows 1, 2, 5 and 10. One child profile. The first thirteen learning-path stages. The classic, free-practice, and learning-path game modes.
Who is behind Math Primer?
The fiomira studio. Math Primer is the first app from a small studio building quiet, ad-free apps.
I forgot my parent code.
Tap "Forgot the code?" on the PIN pad and unlock with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. If your iPad or iPhone has no device passcode set, the only way back in is to delete the app in iOS Settings and reinstall — local profiles and learning paths will be lost. (A future version will back up profiles to iCloud automatically.)
How do I unlock the full version?
Parent area → Settings → Full version. The purchase goes through your App Store account; with Apple's Family Sharing it's shared with up to six family members.
