New look for the Traffic game, easier-to-find Letter Tower game, and better side spacing on the alphabet chart.

New: a progress bar on the home screen shows every place your child has explored in eGeez, with a tracker for the prayer book. Grown-ups can share a private progress card from the Grown-Ups area. It opens on easygeez.com and nothing is uploaded. Also: Word Bricks and Block Church improved, the prayer book carries on from one day to the next, and every screen turns and zooms smoothly.

Stories are now for kids to read on their own. Clearer locks on the Prayer Book with a direct way to unlock. Grown-Ups screens are now in English. Bug fixes.

New: start learning free. Unit 1 of the course is free, and grown-ups can unlock the full course and the Prayer Book with in-app purchases. Existing buyers keep their access.

• New word-matching game with real recorded voices for Amharic and Tigrinya words • Kid profiles: add more children, each with their own progress • Easier grown-up check: just type the number shown in words • Quick setup on first launch, with an optional daily practice reminder • Website unlock code in Grown-Ups: use eGeez on easygeez.com/app in your browser too • Your language choice is now remembered, plus smoother audio

eGeez is now a one-time purchase: everything is unlocked, with no trials, subscriptions, or in-app purchases. New: gentle Tigrinya Bible story picture books (Creation, Noah's Ark, Baby Moses, Jonah), School Path lessons, Story Path reading, Word Build, and Find-the-fidel games.

A big update: a new look, six new games, and the whole cast redrawn. NEW LOOK - A warm "manuscript" theme - gold letters on deep ink, with tibeb borders - across every screen, in both night and daylight modes. - Anbessa, Kokeb and Jibby are now hand-drawn characters that appear in the games, not just on the home path. SIX NEW GAMES IN THE BACKPACK - Kokeb's Bingo - play solo, or a whole class plays together. - Merkato Market - read Ge'ez numeral prices and pay with coins. - Word Workshop - build real words from letter tiles. - Match, Line Up and Order - three quick card games for the vowel orders. SOUND AND FEEL - A gentle piano cue palette: no buzzers, no jarring noises. - Poppier bubbles, livelier skies, and smoother play on older phones. FOR TEACHERS - A class roster, homework assignments that arrive on the child's device, and a reminder on the day they are due. FOR GROWN-UPS - Shareable Progress Cards so family can see what a child has learned. - Fixes: "Reset all progress" now works immediately, and several places where a child could get stuck mid-task are gone. eGeez is free to download. After a 3-day free trial you can buy the app once - and every family still gets 5 free minutes of everything, every single day.
