How to download the Prodigy Math app

To download the Prodigy Math app, get it from the official store for the device: the App Store on iPhone and iPad, Google Play on Android phones, Android tablets, and Chromebooks, and the Amazon Appstore on Fire tablets. The app is free to download and the math game is free to play, with an optional parent membership for extra game features. Search for Prodigy Math, tap the game by Prodigy Education, and install it. There is no desktop app for Windows or Mac, so computers play in the browser instead.

Which store to use for each device

Prodigy is published in three official stores, and each device uses one of them. Downloading from the official store is the safe route: it gives the real app, automatic updates, and no fake copy. Never download Prodigy from a random website or an APK link, because those copies can be fake or unsafe.

Device	Store	App name
iPhone and iPad	Apple App Store	Prodigy Math: Kids Game
Android phone and tablet	Google Play	Prodigy Math: Kids Game
Chromebook	Google Play	Prodigy Math: Kids Game
Fire tablet	Amazon Appstore	Prodigy Math Game
Windows or Mac	No app, play in the browser	play.prodigygame.com

Download on iPhone and iPad

Open the App Store on the iPhone or iPad, tap Search, and type Prodigy Math. Tap the Prodigy Math Game by Prodigy Education, then tap Get. If the device asks for the Apple ID password or Face ID, that is the Apple ID on the device, not the Prodigy account, so use the Apple ID there. The app is free, so there is no payment step. Once it finishes, tap Open and sign in with the student account. Check that the device has free storage first, and that it runs a recent iOS or iPadOS version, because an old version can block the install. If the App Store is restricted on a school iPad, use Safari at play.prodigygame.com instead.

Download on Android phone and tablet

Open the Google Play Store on the Android phone or tablet, tap the search box, and type Prodigy Math. Tap the Prodigy Math Game by Prodigy Education, then tap Install. The app is free, so there is no payment step, though it offers optional in app purchases for membership. Google Play lists the game with a 4.7 rating and more than 5 million downloads, and it was last updated on 3 Dec 2025. Once it finishes, tap Open and sign in with the student account. The same steps work on Samsung, Lenovo, and other Android tablets. If Google Play is missing from the device, check that the tablet is a real Android tablet and not a Fire tablet, because Fire tablets use the Amazon Appstore instead.

Download on Fire tablet

Open the Amazon Appstore on the Fire tablet, tap the search box, and type Prodigy Math. Tap the Prodigy Math Game by Prodigy Education, then tap Get or Download. The app is free, so there is no payment step. Once it finishes, tap Open and sign in with the student account. Fire tablets run Fire OS and use the Amazon Appstore, not Google Play, so the app will not appear in Google Play on a Fire tablet. On a Fire Kids tablet, the app must be approved in the parent dashboard or the Amazon Kids app before the child can open it. The full Fire tablet steps are in Prodigy on Fire tablet.

Download on Chromebook

On a Chromebook that supports Android apps, open the Google Play Store from the app launcher, search for Prodigy Math, and tap Install. Google Play lists the game as available on Chromebook. Once it finishes, the app icon appears on the shelf. If the Play Store app is missing from the launcher, the Chromebook either does not support Android apps or the Play Store is turned off. Check Settings, then Apps, then Google Play Store, and turn it on if the option is there. On a school Chromebook that setting is usually locked, so play in Chrome at play.prodigygame.com instead, which needs no install.

Download on Windows or Mac

There is no Prodigy desktop app for Windows or Mac, so do not search for a download for the computer. Open Chrome, Edge, or Safari, go to play.prodigygame.com, and sign in to play in the browser. The browser version is the full game, with the same wizard, pets, and progress as the app. Bookmark the page so the student can open it in one click. If a website offers a Prodigy download for Windows or Mac, do not install it, because it is not the official game. The app and the browser are compared in Prodigy app vs browser: which is better.

After the download: signing in

Once the app is installed, open it and sign in with the student account. Students sign in with their Prodigy username and password, or with the Google or Clever button if the school set that up. The first time the game opens, the student picks Math, chooses a wizard, and play begins. If the student already plays on another device, use the same account, because the wizard, pets, and progress live on the account, not on the device. If the student is new to the game, read How to play Prodigy Math first for the basics.

Download will not finish or install

If the download sticks or fails, work through the simple fixes in order. Check the Wi-Fi first: move closer to the router, or switch the Wi-Fi off and on again. Check free storage: the game needs room to download and to update, so remove unused apps or photos if the device is nearly full. Check for a system update and install it, because an old system version can block a new app. Restart the device, then try the download again. If the store asks for a password, use the store account password, which is the Apple ID, Google account, or Amazon account on the device, not the Prodigy password. If the store says the app is not compatible with the device, the browser route at play.prodigygame.com is the answer. The wider set of fixes is in Prodigy not working: login and app problems.
