$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

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
New in version 1.2:
• Every game now has levels that get harder – with fresh questions each time you play, so no two rounds are alike.
• The app speaks everywhere: the Mastery Test, the Daily Challenge, the Placement Test and Mixed Practice used to be silent – now every exercise has its own voice, in all six languages.
• Tinu's World Trip: your child travels from their own city instead of always from Berlin, and city names and times follow the language you set.
• Train Schedule: every question is read out, journey times are realistic, and the answer comes with an explanation.
• Lessons: a back arrow returns to the last explanation, and after a mistake the correct answer is shown and spoken.
• Ten stories in every language – outside German there used to be only two.
• Accessibility: colour-blind mode, larger tap targets and a wider typeface now work throughout the app.
• On a turned iPad the clock and the question sit side by side – plus many display and voice-over fixes.
