What's New in Explanova
1.1.3
September 30, 2026
Kinder help for a child who is upset, and an easier parent setup. - If a child says something to the voice tutor that suggests they are upset, hopeless or unsafe, a caring card now appears on screen as well as in the spoken reply. It encourages the child to talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent, teacher or school counselor, and for danger right now shows the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988). The card stays until the child closes it, the lesson moves on to a new step, or the session ends. Everyday frustration, like "I give up", still gets ordinary encouragement. - Setting up a child profile needs one quick confirmation from the parent by email. The setup screen now tells you where that email may have landed (your Spam or Promotions folder), that its link works once and expires after 24 hours, and how to get a new one. The help note at the bottom now says what will happen if you write to support: a person reads the mailbox and replies. - Gray text is darker in light mode and lighter in dark mode across the app, so it is easier to read. That includes the Privacy Policy and Terms links on the sign-in and sign-up screens, and the problem-number buttons. - Smaller reliability fixes throughout.
