01 / What parents askStraight answers
The worries we hear most. Answered.
"Who sees my child's data?"
Nobody but them
No sign-up, no email address, no chat, no adverts and no tracking. Progress stays on the device and in their own iCloud. We never see it.
"Is it right for their exam board?"
Yes, all of them
It follows the Department for Education's GCSE maths content, which AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR and WJEC Eduqas all use. Foundation and Higher.
"How do I know it's working?"
A weekly summary
The app writes a short summary: days practised, questions done, how many were right first time, the strongest topic and one that needs a look. Your child sends it to you.
"Will they actually use it?"
Ten minutes, not an hour
A short set picked for them each day, and an optional reminder at a time that suits them, set on their phone.
"We share one iPad."
A profile each
Several people can use the same iPhone or iPad. Each has their own profile and their own progress.

Questions from parents
What does it cost?
Show Working is free to download, and the first topic of each subject is free. Maths is then a single payment of £9.99 inside the app. There is no subscription and nothing renews.
How do I pay?
Inside the app, through your Apple Account, like any other App Store purchase. You can pay by card, with PayPal or with Apple Gift Card balance. Family Sharing is on, so one purchase covers your family.
Can I get a refund?
Purchases are made through Apple, so refunds are requested from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. If something in the app is not working, write to us first at support@showworking.co.uk and we will help.
Does it cover my exam board?
Yes. Show Working follows the Department for Education's GCSE maths subject content, which AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR and WJEC Eduqas all use. It is independent and not connected to any exam board.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no email address. Your progress stays on your device and in your own iCloud if you have it switched on.
Can parents see how it is going?
Yes, if the pupil chooses to share it. The app writes a short weekly summary on the phone, and the pupil sends it with the phone's own share menu. Nothing is sent to us.
The privacy policy and terms of use explain everything in plain words.
Try it before you pay.
The first topic is free.
No account to make, no card needed to start, and nothing that renews.
