TIMES TABLES ROCKSTARS

Times Tables Rock Stars have let us know that some pupils are playing on very out-of-date versions of the app/website.

It's important that pupils use the latest versions of the app and website to ensure they receive the most secure, feature-rich and enjoyable experience of Times Tables Rock Stars. Some of the versions are so far behind that they're missing out on key updates.

If using the website at home, please can we ask you to visit play.ttrockstars.com/reset to load the latest version in your device's browser. Otherwise update the Times Tables Rock Stars app from the app store.
