## What is Learn to Tell Time?

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
• All data stays on the device, full stop

Fully voiced in 6 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese and Polish.

Recommended for children aged 5 to 10.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-08-21

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.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-10

New in version 1.1:

• Every game now has levels that get harder – with fresh questions each time you play, so no two rounds are alike.
• Second Stop: five levels with longer spans and an ever tighter hit window.
• Daily Schedule: more realistic times of day, now including the start and the end of school.
• Time Detective, Train Schedule and Tinu's World Trip: new scenes, routes and cities every time.
