Back-to-school means new drop-offs, new faces, new routines. Before the first bell, make sure your child knows your phone number by heart. One song is all it takes.
HippityPip does one thing, and does it really well: it teaches your child your phone number.
It's the safety skill parents, teachers, and first responders recommend first. If you and your child are ever separated — at a theme park, an airport, a national park, or on the way to grandma's — your phone number is how they find you.
Just type in your number and HippityPip instantly creates a personalized song by popular children's recording artist and educator Bobby Beetcut. Fair warning: it's an earworm. You and your child sing along and remix the song with hundreds of musical combinations, and before long your child will be proudly singing your number from memory. Download it before a flight and your child may know your number by the time you land.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your phone number never leaves your device — the song is created right on your iPhone or iPad
• No data collection of any kind: no accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Our App Store privacy label says "Data Not Collected" because we literally collect nothing
• Optional practice reminders stay on your device too, and grown-ups control them behind a parental gate
If your child ever becomes lost or separated from you, they'll only ever be one song away from finding you.
My son is 3, and we’ve been working on address and phone number. It’s not an easy concept for a 3-year-old...they’re just numbers to him. However, after using this app just once, he’s already singing our phone number from memory. As a music teacher, I think everything is easier to learn with a song! This is a wonderful tool for any child, and I’m really hoping they’ll make one for learning addresses and other important information, too!
Awesome

I have been looking for apps and games that help teach my kids useful skills in a fun way. This totally fits the bill. Very easy and intuitive to get started. My 4 year old loves the characters especially the unicorn. The song is catchy and she sings the tune (and my phone number) all the time now!More apps like this please!

Our whole household is on the HippityPip bandwagon! My daughter adores the colorful unique characters and the catchy beat used to teach "my personal phone number", my son wrestles the phone for his turn to "sing me number", and even the dog longs for a turn. As a parent, it's a great relief to hear my kids proudly belting out their phone number.
Works!

We tried to get our youngest to remember my wife’s phone number for a long time. We found this app now we’re kind of annoyed because she won’t stop saying it. Over and over and over and over. But seriously it was a big help. Thank you!
HippityPip now plays on iPad! The whole band fills the bigger screen, and everything works just like it does on iPhone.
Also in this update: practice reminders arrive at a time you choose instead of a fixed 5pm, and tapping one opens the band and starts the song right away. VoiceOver reads every screen, including your phone number one digit at a time, and Larger Text and Reduce Motion are respected throughout.
