## What is MapSprout?

A road trip across America for kids ages 6+. Fly to all 50 states with 3D map flyovers, meet their landmarks and capitals, answer quick quizzes, and fill a passport with stamps as your child explores.

Every stop tells a story. No accounts, no ads, no tracking — just an adventure your kid can pick up anytime.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY

• Sprout Quest — short adaptive sessions (3–5 min) that focus on the states your child is still learning. Perfect for the school-bus or dinner-prep window.

• Road Trip — guided multi-state journeys with 3D MapKit flyovers between stops. Each stop teaches facts, runs a quiz, and awards a stamp. Ten curated routes including Coast to Coast, Route 66, the Appalachian Trail, the Lewis & Clark Trail, and regional tours like New England, the Rocky Mountains, and the Mid-Atlantic.

• Practice — tap any state on the Explore Map and drill that state. Four question types (multiple choice, tap-on-map, identify the highlighted state, type-the-answer with typo tolerance) auto-rotate during the session.

WHAT YOUR CHILD WILL LEARN

• All 50 states and their capitals
• Washington, D.C. as the U.S. capital
• State shapes, regions, and U.S. geography
• Landmarks, fun facts, and famous foods of each state
• U.S. history highlights, framed for early elementary

A PASSPORT THAT FILLS AS THEY EXPLORE

51 location stamps (50 states + Washington, D.C.), Road Trip stamps for every completed journey, and a curated badge set for streaks, mastery levels, and trip completion. Watch the passport fill up over weeks of play.

A DAILY HABIT, GENTLY

A streak counter and "State of the Day" surface keep kids coming back without nagging. Quizzes adapt to your child's pace — Sprout Quest sessions focus on the states they're still learning, and question difficulty scales as mastery grows.

MADE FOR KIDS — ACTUALLY

• No third-party SDKs, no analytics, no behavioral tracking
• No ads, ever
• No chat, no messaging, no community features — the only typing kids do is quiz answers (state or capital names), never sent to anyone outside the app
• In-app purchase and Send Feedback are gated behind a Grown-Up Check (a math problem) — no surprise charges, no unsupervised submissions

FOR PARENTS

• One-time purchase ($3.99). No subscriptions, no auto-renewals.
• 3 days free with full access — explore every state, every quiz mode, every road trip. Decide if your child clicks with it before paying.
• Universal app — iPhone and iPad. iPad gets a side-by-side landscape layout.
• iCloud sync keeps progress consistent across your child's iPad and iPhone via CloudKit's private database. Your data stays in your iCloud — Vectory cannot read or access it.
• Works offline. Road Trip 3D flyovers stream Apple Maps imagery when online; quizzes, facts, and the passport work anywhere.
• Four home-screen widgets — Quick Quiz, Road Trip progress, Stamp progress, Streak counter — to keep the habit visible.

PRIVACY FIRST

All progress lives in your child's own iCloud account. No data ever transits Vectory's servers. No analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs. Full privacy policy: https://apps.vectoryapps.com/mapsprout/privacy/
