For grown-ups
You decide what, when and how long
The Parent Zone sits behind a PIN. Your child sees stars, levels and a buddy. You see the skills, the minutes and the switches.
The Parent Zone
Apps
Turn each game on or off per child. Games outside the age range are hidden unless you choose to show them.
Time
A daily limit, a limit per session, allowed hours, extra weekend minutes and per-game exceptions. Add 10, 20 or 30 minutes with your PIN when you want to.
Progress
Play time per day, stars and streaks, time split across subjects and every skill practised, grouped as Practising, Getting there and Got it.
Settings
Volume, narration speed, text size, reduce motion, language per child, voice choice, PIN and recovery question, and data export.
How time limits feel to a child
Firm limits, soft landings
- A small banner says when two minutes are left. It never interrupts play.
- When time is up, the game saves itself first. Nothing is lost.
- The "All done for today" screen shows stars, games finished and streak, then a button home.
- Outside allowed hours the home screen says "Games are sleeping" and shows no games.
- Streaks count five days out of seven, so a missed weekend does not reset them.
Rewards that cannot be bought
Stars, XP, gems and outfits
Every answer earns a little XP. Levels unlock hats, glasses and pets for the buddy, and themes for the home screen. Gems come from playing and from a once-a-day surprise box, never from money. Outfits and themes are only for fun and never change a game.
Your child never sees accuracy or mastery percentages, only stars, levels and how much of a game is finished. Scores are never compared with other children.
Questions parents ask
Does it really work with no internet?
Yes. The games, the books, the voice and every lesson are inside the app. Airplane mode is our default test condition.
Is there anything to buy?
No. There are no in-app purchases, no ads and no links to websites. Gems are earned by playing and spent only on outfits and home-screen themes.
What does it collect about my child?
Nothing is collected or sent anywhere. Progress lives on the iPad. You can export it as plain CSV and JSON files, or delete a profile in one tap.
Can my child get out of the app?
The Parent Zone is behind your PIN, and the app never opens links. For a fully locked iPad we recommend turning on Guided Access in iPadOS.
Does it use the microphone or camera?
No game uses the camera. Microphone features are planned for a later build and will be opt-in per child, by a parent.
How many children can share an iPad?
Up to six, each with their own buddy, progress, limits and language.
What iPad do I need?
The app is built for iPad Air and iPad Pro on iPadOS 18 or later. Apple Pencil is optional and works nicely in Scribble Math and Script Studio.
