Understand time the fun way
$3.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
From the first full hour to 24-hour pro: Tinu guides your child step by step – with full voice-over, 8 games and stickers. No ads, no tracking, fully offline.
Learning to tell time becomes an adventure – with Tinu!
Tinu, the friendly little alarm clock, guides your child step by step from their very first look at a clock face to confidently reading times, using the 24-hour format and working out durations. Every explanation is spoken aloud – children who can't read yet find their way around just as easily as confident readers.
HOW YOUR CHILD LEARNS
• 9 carefully sequenced stages: the clock face, full hours, half hours, quarter hours, 5-minute steps, single minutes, "past" and "to", the 24-hour format, and time spans
• An interactive clock with movable hands – just turn them with a finger
• Every explanation narrated, with animated highlights on the clock
• Mastery tests with stars to complete each stage
• Placement test: children with prior knowledge start at the right stage
• Daily challenge with smart spaced repetition of exactly the times that are still tricky
8 LEARNING GAMES
Clock Bingo, Hands Race, Time Detective, Daily Routine, Time Memory, Train Timetable, Tinu's World Trip and Seconds Stop – each game unlocks once your child has learned what it needs, and explains itself out loud.
MOTIVATION THAT WORKS
• 15 stickers and badges to collect
• Unlockable clock designs
• Tinu celebrates every bit of progress
FOR PARENTS
• A protected parents' area with real learning insights: which times are still difficult? What should come next?
• Regional phrasing options (e.g. "quarter past" vs. "quarter after")
• Fully resettable when a new child wants to start
PRIVACY — PROMISED
• No ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking
• No internet connection needed – works completely offline
• All data stays on the device, full stop
Fully voiced in 6 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese and Polish.
Recommended for children aged 5 to 10.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
New in version 1.3:
• Mistakes are explained – out loud too: Tinu says what went wrong, and your child sets the clock right once before moving on.
• Recognise first, then set: more stages now ask your child to pick the right clock before setting one, and the very first stage has small exercises.
• Daily Challenge: every day without a mistake earns a star that adds up. It only practises what has been learned – and earlier mistakes come back for review in the lessons.
• iPad: a bigger clock and a calmer, tidier screen.
• For parents: a daily practice limit (off by default) and a safer parents' area.
• Accessibility: VoiceOver reads the clock and can set it, stronger contrast, less motion with “Reduce Motion”.
• Shorter explanations, newly recorded – plus many small fixes.
