Your pet has a face for everything now. EIGHTEEN MOODS, NOT SIX Sparkle was a bar with no expression, and a poorly pet borrowed its sad face. Not any more. Your pet looks grubby when it needs a bath, sorry for itself when it is poorly, content when it is full, wistful when it has been left alone, and fast asleep rather than merely drowsy. Pat it three times in a row and see what happens. All eight pets have all eighteen, at every age. TRICKS THAT ARE ACTUALLY DRAWN Sit, Spin, High Five, Roll, Take a Bow and Dance are proper animations now, drawn frame by frame for every pet. Roll Over is a real roll: your pet flops onto its side, waves its legs in the air and gets back up again. Pickle the tortoise tucks into his shell and rolls like a ball, because a tortoise on its back is nobody's idea of fun. FIFTEEN ROOMS, AND SOMETHING FOR THE OCCASION Every theme now has three rooms rather than one. A reading nook, a play den, a beach hut, an aquarium, a treehouse, a greenhouse, an observatory, a rocket bay, an arcade and a workshop. Dress any of them up for a birthday, or for spring, summer, autumn or winter. A PROPER TOY BOX The bouncy ball, the bubbles, the balloon, the story book and the twirly spinner all have their own artwork now. Also: we found and fixed several faults in the pet artwork, and the trick animations no longer change size while they play. No adverts. No in-app purchases. No data collection.

Your pet is properly alive now. It breathes where it stands, casts a soft shadow on the floor, and wanders the whole room rather than pacing one small patch of it. It goes to the window to watch the weather, noses through the toy box, and curls up on the rug for a nap. EVERY PET KEEPS ITS OWN HOURS A puppy is up with the lark and worn out by nine. A Siamese stays up late and has a lie in. When your pet's own bedtime comes round it yawns, curls up and sleeps, and three gentle taps will always wake it again. Tuck it in yourself and it settles an hour early. WHILE YOU WERE AWAY Come back the next day and your pet tells you what it got up to: counting birds on the wires, daisies in the long grass, acorns buried for a squirrel. Every story is built from your own child's times tables, and it reaches for the facts they are finding hardest, so the maths is the story rather than a sum bolted onto one. Your pet brings something home from every adventure, and every keepsake stays on the shelf in its room for good. YOUR PET REMEMBERS It knows which facts your child used to find impossible and now gets right, and it says so: "Remember when 7 times 8 was impossible? Look at us now." It owns up to the ones it still muddles too, and asks to practise them together. DAYS TOGETHER, NOT A STREAK TO LOSE The daily streak is now a days together total. Every day your child plays adds one, and it never goes back down. A busy Tuesday, a holiday, a week off poorly: none of it costs anything, and there is nothing hanging over bedtime. Also in this update: - Your pet blinks, dozes and stretches, and changes expression by fading softly from one look to the next - Tickle your pet and it goes straight back to exploring the room - On iPad your pet is drawn much larger, so it fills its room properly - Everything your pet does is saved the moment it happens, so nothing is ever lost between visits - The daily reminder now tells your child their pet has news, rather than warning them about a streak No adverts.

Your pets have been completely redrawn. Every creature is now a soft, hand-finished character with real depth and light, and every room they live in has been rebuilt to match, stitched from felt and plush. Watch them blink, breathe, and settle. Growing up finally looks like growing up. A newborn is a wobbly, big-headed little thing, and each stage changes its shape, not just its size, until it becomes the elegant grown-up you have been working towards. Also in this update: - Hatching now takes three rounds, and the egg wobbles, then cracks, as your child gets closer - Pets stay awake while you play with them, and only doze off when they are left alone. Tap gently to wake them, three times, and they will yawn and stretch - You can rename your pet whenever you like, as often as you like - A sleeping pet can no longer be fed, washed or played with by accident, which also means no more wasted stars - You can leave a round part way through without losing your daily streak - Level 1 no longer repeats the same question over and over - The daily challenge shuffles properly when you try it again No adverts.

Meet your Maths Pet! Times Table Star is now a whole world. Choose one of five eggs, hatch it by playing, and raise a pet that only grows smarter because you practise. Feed it by carrying food to its mouth, scrub it clean with a sponge, tickle it for a giggle, and tuck it in at night. It wanders its own room, naps, and comes running when you tap. Also new in this update: - Five themes, each with its own colours, fonts and world, from Candy Pop to a Galaxy observation cabin - Sound effects and gentle haptics throughout - A big, chunky number pad built for small fingers, replacing the keyboard - Three hearts so one mistake no longer restarts the whole level - Mastery stars for scoring 500, 750 and 900 on a level - Daily streaks, a sticker book, and collectable characters - A Daily Challenge with fresh questions every morning - Endless mode for experts, unlocked after Level 5 - Quiet extra practice of exactly the facts you find tricky - Separate player profiles so brothers and sisters keep their own pets - Automatic iCloud backup of progress, pets and stickers - An optional AI companion, off by default and behind a parental gate, that lets an older pet chat aloud using a parent's own AI provider key No adverts.
