PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No ads. No analytics. No third-party tracking. Gameplay and child information stay on the device. A parent may optionally send a support message and reply email from the grown-up area; that information is used only for support and app functionality and is deleted within 90 days.
Your Full Version purchase is tied to your Apple Account and can be restored on your devices. Payment starts only when you confirm with Apple.
• Make practice their own: Full Version parents can choose letters, words, numbers, or blocks, plus the pace and round length.
• Save custom settings so children can start playing independently.
• Improved multi-touch play, bug animations, and home-screen loading.
• Refined clay-style menus and fixed first-open customization.
