Kannada language finally lands for everyone, a whole new game and a stack of stability + speed fixes. • New: Word Mixer — a fast-paced "find all the hidden words from these letters" puzzle. Solo mode times you against your personal best; Family Time Trial passes the device around so siblings and parents can race the same puzzle. • Kannada is now available to pick when creating a child profile. We held it back in 1.2.9 for one more tuning pass; that pass is done. • Tracing videos for Kannada — tap the play icon at the top-right of the canvas to watch a short demo of how each Kannada letter is written. Same feature you've had for Telugu / Hindi / Marathi / Tamil. • Sharper Kannada handwriting recognition — model retrained on a larger, more diverse sample set (including a native-writer batch). Accuracy went from ~96% to ~98% on the held-out test. • Memory Match works properly in Tamil and Kannada — every card now has its own distinct picture instead of a generic placeholder, so the match game is actually playable in those languages. • High scores are per-child — Word Mixer best times are now saved per kid profile (previously one child's record could overwrite another's). • Smoother gameplay — Word Mixer's clock no longer makes the whole screen redraw 10 times a second; animations stay snappy on older iPhones. • Audio doesn't linger — if your kid quickly taps out of a screen mid-celebration, the word audio that was about to play correctly stops instead of speaking over the next screen. • Purchase reliability fix — fixed a rare case where Apple's StoreKit returned a stale "success" for an already-expired subscription, briefly granting access then yanking it. The app now double-checks before celebrating a purchase. • Cleaner language picker — the 5 available languages now show together at the top, and the "coming soon" ones below.

Stability, speed, and quality-of-life improvements across the app. • Fixed a rare crash that could happen after tracing a letter when the difficulty had adapted below 70%. • Family Sharing invites now show a clear message when something goes wrong, instead of silently doing nothing. • Smoother games — Picture Match, Word Match, Missing Letter, Fill Sentence, and Letter Maze all start rounds faster, with no duplicate-image distractors. • Better variety in word games — distractor options now draw from the full alphabet, exposing kids to letters they haven't mastered yet. • Memory Match now shows distinct picture cards instead of generic placeholders. • Per-child settings — the "Game Engagement" toggle for using all letters in games is now saved per child profile (was previously shared across all profiles). • Parent PIN now locks out after repeated wrong attempts (5 → 1 min, 10 → 5 min, 15 → 30 min). • Shared family dashboards now show the correct word/sentence counts for the language each child is actually learning. • Language pack downloads retry more reliably; the banner shows accurate status and clearer success text. • Word reveal and mastery celebrations are smoother — animations and audio no longer linger after you navigate away. We're still polishing Kannada ahead of its public launch — it's not selectable yet in this build.

Tamil is here. Full Tamil support — letters, words, sentences, and uyirmey combinations — with our newest handwriting recognizer (96.5% accuracy). தமிழ் கற்க இப்போது தயார்! New game: Treasure Hunt. Kids hunt across a village scene for hidden letters to build a word, or words to build a sentence. Three difficulty levels, solo and family modes, in all supported languages. Smaller app, faster install. Audio is now downloaded per language only when you need it — your install is lighter and the languages you don't use don't take up space. Cleaner sentences across all languages. We removed filler "This is X" sentences and added 70+ real Tamil sentences. Telugu, Hindi, and Marathi now have parity at ~520 sentences each. Lots of polish. Game hints in 10+ games, improved nudges when a child is stuck, smoother Practice Together for combos with rare vowel forms, Marathi audio routing fixed, Hindi recognizer load smoothed, and many family-sharing reliability fixes.

What's New in V1.2.7 • Hindi & Marathi now include sentence audio for letter combinations with श, ष, स, ह, क्ष, त्र (and ळ in Marathi). • Telugu adds new extended words for చ, ఝ, మ — closing reading gaps. • Letters and combos now scale cleanly inside game tiles, quiz cards, crossword cells, and word-builder pieces (no more clipped combos like క్ష / ज्ञ on the screen). • Clearer Learn-tab messaging: shows "No word yet" or "No sentence yet" when content for a letter isn't available — instead of promising an unlock that wouldn't happen. • Writing canvases that do not use AI handwriting recognition now display a "Not AI graded" badge so feedback type is clear to the user. • Polished Telugu transliterations + fixed a few duplicate Hindi / Telugu letter examples. • Smoother audio playback under the hood (177 files re-encoded — same voice, better compatibility).

What's new in V1.2.6: Fresh visual look — every game, header, and section now uses crisp hand-drawn icons. The whole app feels lighter and more cohesive. How-to-play on every game — tap the new ? icon in the top-right of any solo or family game to see the goal and step-by-step instructions. No more guessing how a game works. New game: Letter Maze — trace your finger through the maze to reach the target letter. Available solo and as a family game. Quieter help for tracing — when a child gets a letter wrong a few times, we now gently flash the demo-video icon and point at it with a bobbing hand cursor (no more interrupting popup). They can keep practicing while the cue is visible. Polish & sharper rendering — switched icon assets to scalable vectors so everything stays crisp at every size and on accessibility text settings.

New in this update: Card Shuffle is now in Solo Games too Watch the card, then find it after the shuffle. Three difficulty levels, perfect for solo practice. Daily Phrases — start talking from day one A new section in Sentences. Tap a category (Greetings, Polite Asks, Self Intro, Daily Life, and more) and learn the phrases you actually use. Available in Telugu, Hindi, and Marathi. Parents can record their own voice for these in Settings. Need help with a tricky letter? When your child is struggling on stroke order, a friendly prompt suggests watching the quick demo video — stroke order matters! Fresh look New hand-drawn icons across the app give it a warmer, more playful feel.

New in this update: New family game — Card Shuffle Watch the card, then find it after the shuffle. Three difficulty levels. Turn-based for siblings — same shuffle for everyone, most spotted wins. Mix-Up Story now reads each sentence aloud Tap a card to hear it; full story plays in order when you solve it. Parent Dashboard — solve the math once per session Tap into Profile, solve the gate, and you're free until you close the app. No more re-entering it every time.

Version 1.2.3 This update fixes a critical issue where reinstalling the app could make your child's progress appear lost, and adds parent voice recording for sentences. What's new: • New: parents can now record their voice for sentences (tap the microphone icon on any sentence row) — joining the existing letter and word recording Fixes: • Profiles, progress, mastered letters, stickers, and subscription state now reliably restore from iCloud after reinstall • Trial users no longer see a duplicate "start free trial" prompt after reinstall — existing subscription is detected • Paid subscribers no longer briefly see trial banners • App waits for iCloud sync to complete before showing onboarding, avoiding flicker Note: sentence writing on the canvas is temporarily disabled while we redesign it to handle longer sentences. The pencil icon on sentence rows will return in a future update.

V1.2.2 (build 81) introduces 8 brand-new games for solo and family play: Lego Word Builder, Crossword, Word Hunt, Catch Letters, Catch Words, Picture & Word, Peek-a-boo Letters, and Mix-up Story — each with a Family variant. Play tab redesigned — your streak and trophies now scroll naturally, and the Solo / Family / Progress tabs stay pinned at the top so you can switch instantly.

• Less friction in the parent area — solve one math problem to reach all parent settings instead of for every action • Free plan now includes voice recording (up to 5 letters) • Polished subscription page layout with localized pricing • Smoother onboarding pricing display in your local currency • Cleaner math gate — easier to use one-handed
