Do I need to buy the app to play the games at home?
No. Our subscription to Maths and Spelling Shed include unlimited access to our online game at no additional cost, which functions on all current desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile devices. Many schools and parents do choose to buy the app also but there is no requirement to do so you can access everything via our website with the school login information.
The app makes it is easier for the children to access at home without searching on a web browser. With the app you are able to play whilst offline and scores are updated once the device is connected to the internet again.
The app also enables students who do not have a subscription at their school to still play the web games.
