Six curricula
The strands, topics and grade names your child's own school actually uses. Canada, Nigeria, the United States, Australia, England and China, each with its own subjects and its own exams. Not one syllabus with the labels swapped.

Reading
Say It, Spell It, Write It joins hearing a sound to choosing the letter to writing it, across a thousand levels, starting with sounds a three-year-old already knows.
What is in the library
Maths
Maths and English are made fresh every time rather than drawn from a fixed list, and every answer is worked out rather than looked up, so the working can be shown when it is marked.
See the topics by year
Exams
WAEC, JAMB and NECO. SATs and the GCSEs. The Alberta diploma exams. The HSC and the ATAR. The SAT and Advanced Placement. The gaokao. Each one named, with what it decides, what it covers, and papers sat under a real clock and marked with every answer explained.
How exam practice works
For the grown-ups
Accuracy by subject, time spent, questions answered and topics mastered, with a fortnight as a chart. Every figure is shown with the number it came from, so you can tell when it is wrong.

Rewards
Finish every topic in a grade and the app issues a printable certificate carrying the child's name, the grade in their country's own words, the curriculum and the number of topics mastered. Mastered, not attempted.

Play
Chess with the real laws, including castling, en passant and stalemate. A racer where braking distance is the mechanic. A hundred things to build. No timers that punish, nothing to buy and nobody to chat to.
All nine gamesCounted honestly: each activity counted once, however many grades or countries offer it, and measured by a script rather than estimated.
Pick the one your child is in. Everything below it changes: the grade names, the subject list, the topics, the exams and the spelling.
Browse all 5,541 topics, by country and by year.
The same app, asking one thing at a time.
Enormous type, a picture on every question and answer, and the words read aloud. No timers, no failure, and the letter to trace is as big as the question.
Reading and writing on their own, worked examples before every topic, and a daily goal that is a target rather than a punishment.
Full subject lists including the optional ones, past-paper practice under the clock, and the exam each country actually sits.
High contrast, calm mode, plain language, reduce motion and read-aloud are in the free plan and always will be. Charging for them would charge disabled children more than everybody else. What is in it, and what is not done yet.
500 bedtime stories, 232 reading passages and 507 rhymes and songs. The bedtime stories have no questions, no score and nothing to finish, because a child asked to prove they understood a story at half past seven has been given homework in bed. More about the library.
A free plan a family could genuinely use, and a subscription that unlocks what a parent wants rather than what a child wants, so the pressure to buy never lands on the child.

It is on TestFlight now, and testers with children of any age from three to eighteen are wanted, particularly outside Canada, where we most need to know whether the curriculum reads correctly to somebody who teaches it.
You need an iPhone and Apple's free TestFlight app. Nothing else, and no invitation to wait for.
The ones asked most. All of them, at greater length.
Nothing. There is no account, no sign-in and no analytics. Progress, writing and rewards are stored on the phone itself, and every lesson works with the device in flight mode. The privacy policy says this at greater length and in plainer words than most.
Yes. The curriculum, the questions, the stories and the games are all in the app. A connection is only needed to download an update.
No, on either plan. There is nothing in the app trying to sell your child anything, and the only mention of a price is on the grown-up's settings page behind a parental gate.
Yes, and it is one of the reasons the subscription exists. Any grade from creche to Grade 12 can be opened at any time, so a child can work above their year in one subject and below it in another.
A teacher or a parent can set the next topics across any subject and any grade, and see a report of how it went with recommendations based on what is being got wrong most. For a whole school, get in touch.
It is in testing on TestFlight now and going to the App Store shortly. You can join the beta in the meantime. An Android version is planned but not started.
