## What is Otter?

Otter helps you play with your kids, offline, without needing to think of what to do.

Tell Otter a little about your family, and it builds a week of play: short, simple ideas using things you already have at home. Each idea comes with a tiny guide, so you know exactly what to say, how to join in, and what to try if things stall.

Otter requires an Otter+ subscription. New subscribers can try it free for 7 days.

WHAT YOU GET WITH OTTER+
• A plan that starts today. A week of play matched to your children's ages, interests and the things you'd like to build, like fine motor skills, focus or confidence.
• 100 ideas to start. Leaf rubbings, den building, water play and more. Each one lists what you need, takes minutes to set up and shows the steps.
• Tiny guides for grown-ups. What to say, how to follow their lead, and what to do if they get stuck. There's a "mini" version for days with no energy.
• The why. Every idea explains what it builds, with links to early years learning areas.
• Moments. Log how a play went and keep the ones you loved.
• Your own ideas. Make an idea for your family, or share it for others to try once it's been reviewed.
• Widgets. Today's play on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, and your week at a glance.
• A gentle daily nudge. Choose a time that suits you, or leave reminders off.

PRESENT MODE (OPTIONAL, INCLUDED WITH OTTER+)
Parents can use Apple's Screen Time to pause chosen apps while a play is under way, so the play gets your full attention. It's off unless you turn it on, you choose which apps, and it ends when the play does.

PRIVACY
Everything you enter stays on your phone. Otter doesn't ask for names, accounts or photos to be uploaded. Shared ideas and anonymous play counts use a random device token, never your child's details.

OTTER+ SUBSCRIPTION (REQUIRED)
All of Otter, including every feature listed above, requires an active Otter+ subscription. Otter+ is available monthly at [£X.XX] or yearly at [£XX.XX]. Eligible new subscribers get a 7-day free trial, and you won't be charged if you cancel before it ends.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Account Settings after purchase. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you subscribe.
