MeteorMath Release Notes v2026.11.02

Last updated on 22 Oct 2026

Highlights

MeteorMath now runs on iPhone. Every screen fits, from the iPhone SE up.
A new space look. Every screen has a deep-space starfield, glass panels, and one bright button for the main action.
Missions feel like flying. A rocket tracks your child's progress, their explorer rides along, and right answers burst into stars.
A launch pad for kids, a page for grown-ups. Students start missions and choose their own mission settings. Renaming, purchases, and detailed stats move to a separate Grown-ups page.

MeteorMath is now one app for iPhone and iPad. Like on the iPad, it runs in portrait.
The keypad, buttons, and tables are sized for iPhone. A 12 × 12 table fits across the screen without scrolling.

The cockpit. A rocket on a dashed flight path replaces the progress bar, and the problem glows like a meteor.
Your explorer rides along. It bounces for a right answer and shakes for a wrong one.
A new keypad. Big glass keys squash down when tapped, and the rocket key submits the answer.
Stars and streaks. A right answer bursts into stars. Three first-try answers in a row show a streak.
Victory runs. After a right answer, the explorer runs across the screen with one of eight moves, such as a cartwheel, hops, or a loop, and a cheer overhead. A slow answer gets a stroll. Every fifth first-try answer in a row earns a victory lap in a cloud of stars.
With Reduce Motion on, these animations are turned off.

A student's profile is now their launch pad. It shows their explorer, what they're working on ("Working on the 8s!"), a row of planets that light up as each times table is mastered, their star count, and one Launch Mission button.
Mission settings belong to the student. A Mission card with big − and + buttons sets the number of questions, the table size, and the Head start, the facts that count as already known. New profiles use the same card.
When the free missions run out, the launch pad shows Ask a grown-up to unlock.

The Grown-ups button on the launch pad opens a page for renaming the student, upgrading, and the Summary, Missions, and Learning tables.
On the player list, a Grown-ups button holds Website, Our Apps, Account, and Share.
Both open with a tap. You no longer have to answer a math question. Deleting a player still asks one, because it erases progress.

The player list now asks "Who's flying today?" Each card shows the explorer first, then the name, where they are in the table, and their stars.
To add a player, tap the New explorer card.

The multiplication table is now a star map. Mastered facts glow, facts being learned are amber, and the rest are dim. The factors are shown in gold along the top and side.
Tap a glowing or amber fact to open its review.
Adjust is now called Mark facts known. It works the same way as before.

Every mission earns one to three stars. Three stars take 95% accuracy or better, and two take 80%.
Mission Review opens with the explorer, the mission's stars, and a one-line summary.
Fact Review opens with the fact, its stars, and its tries, right answers, and streak.
On both review screens, the full details are below, under "For grown-ups."
The award screen shows the mission's stars. Its Fly again button starts another mission for the same explorer.
