## What is HippityPip?

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.

## Key features

- Personalized phone number song
- Customizable musical combinations

### 5/5 — This is an amazing app!!

*2024-05-22*

This is great for your kids to learn your phone number or even you if you don’t know it!

### 3/5 — Song sings “Oh” instead of zero

*2020-03-30*

Very cute app, but was difficult for kid to understand why there would be a letter O in a phone number.  Wish they could sing zero. Song is catchy though!

### 5/5 — Simple and engaging app for toddlers...

*2020-01-02*

My 5-year old learned my cell phone number in a day my using the app. Really easy to download and use. Would highly recommend.

### 5/5 — This simply works!

*2019-07-26*

My toddler knows our phone numbers so easily because of this awesome app! A catchy tune and it’s engrained in the membrane!  Try it and you’ll be glad ya did.

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2019-07-03*

A fun and easy way to have my kids memorize our phone numbers. Warning: the song will get stuck in either your head or your kids heads! 😝

### 2/5 — Crashes when it opens

*2019-07-02*

The app crashed after i added the number , and it seems to not support other countries phone numbers as i was required to add 12 digits while my number is 11 digits

### 5/5 — Fantastic and easy to use!

*2019-07-02*

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!

### 2/5 — Nearly 200 MB to Teach Ten Digits?

*2019-07-01*

This has GOT to be the most inefficient app of ALL TIME!  Can you sing with your child? Then teach him or her to SING his or her phone number! 

If they can sing  the alphabet - 26 letters - they can sing ten.

### 5/5 — Fun and effective!

*2018-10-12*

My four year old loves singing along with this app, and is quickly learning his phone number. Thank you for this excellent parenting resource.

### 2/5 — Zero is not oh!

*2018-10-06*

A zero in a phone number is sung as o(oh) not 0(zero). This will confuse kids.

**Developer response:** Thanks for giving our app a try. Our main goal is making sure that kids can remember and recite their number in case of emergency. In our tests, we found that kids, especially the younger ones, were better able to remember the phone number when the song used “Os” instead of the word zero. This increase in potential safety made the choice clear for us.

We definitely appreciate your feedback, and now that we have a wider audience, we’ll run more tests on verbal recall. Thanks again for downloading the app and feel free to email us at hello@hippitypip.com if you have any other feedback.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-08-01

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.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-07-24

HippityPip is back, and better than ever!
• Fixed a major bug preventing some phone numbers from working.
• Even more private: we removed all analytics and email collection —nothing ever leaves your device, not even anonymously
• New: optional practice reminders (daily or weekly) — set them up in the grown-ups area
• A much smaller download
• Updated for the latest iPhones and iOS

### 1.1.1 — 2018-10-25

This release includes our first major bug fix. The app only works for 10-digit phone numbers (for now) and we thought we blocked all other numbers of digits...but we were wrong. This bug was reported by Peter R., who downloaded the app to help teach a phone number to his 6yo. As a thank you for letting us know, this release is dedicated to the awesome parent and bug-reporter, Peter R.!

Email us at hello@hippitypip.com with your success stories, bugs or even just a hello to have a future release dedicated to you.

### 1.1 — 2018-09-06
