SplashLearn suits families who want one app for math and reading through grade 5. Its App Store listing covers preschool to grade 5 in both subjects and spells out the math by grade: counting and shapes in preschool and kindergarten, place value and time in grade 1, multiplication and money in grade 2, division and fractions in grade 3, and decimals, geometry and multi-step word problems in grades 4 and 5. More than 4,000 games, books and challenges sit on a learning path that slows down or moves ahead based on each child's results, and parents get real-time progress tracking. The app is ad-free and COPPA and GDPR compliant. Membership pricing is less clear than most here: the US App Store lists several monthly prices from $7.99 to $11.99 and yearly plans from $69.99. It ranks sixth because DreamBox Math and Mathseeds teach math in a more structured sequence. We compared documented features and published prices.
