Spottle gets kids OUTSIDE, looking UP at the sky instead of DOWN at screens — and rewards them with real prizes you choose at home. Your child points the camera at the clouds and taps "Spottle It." Nancy the bunny — Spottle's friendly AI guide — traces a glowing gold outline around the shape she sees and tells your child a fun fact about it. A dinosaur. A whale. A magic dragon. Each find earns a point. When the clouds are wispy, Nancy gets creative with cloud poetry — a cozy pillow, a magic ribbon, a fluffy cloud-cat. MEGA PRIZES — THE SECRET SAUCE Mega Prizes are real-world rewards YOU set up — a special treat, extra screen time, a trip to the park, an ice cream date — that your child can earn during play. You pick from 15 kid-friendly presets (or write your own) in the Parent Dashboard. Spottle randomly drops a Mega Prize roll during fast-answer Imagination Mode rounds, and when your child wins one, the app shows a celebration card telling them to come find you and cash it in. It's the secret sauce that turns "fun cloud game" into "the thing my kid asks to play every day." - YOU choose the prizes — they're whatever YOUR family values - Set up to 3 active prizes; rotate them anytime - Award frequency is YOURS to control (every 24 hours, 12 hours, etc.) - Kids never see prizes inside the app until they win one - Optional — Spottle works great without them too IMAGINATION MODE (offline and unlimited) When there are no clouds in the sky (or the kids are stuck inside), Imagination Mode keeps the magic going. A puffy cloud cover dissipates over a hidden shape, and your child taps the matching answer before the clock runs out. Quick answers earn extra points and a chance at one of your Mega Prizes. - Works without an internet connection - No daily limit — play as long as you like - Fast answers unlock the Mega Zone (bonus and prize-roll window) HOW SPOTTLE WORKS Each day, your child gets a fresh batch of 50 cloud finds. Every time the camera analyzes the sky, that counts as one find. Once the daily batch is used up, the app gently wraps up with "see you tomorrow" — and refills overnight. Imagination Mode is unlimited, so kids can keep playing once the cloud batch is done. - 50 cloud finds per day, every day - Counter resets at midnight - Healthy session length, not a screen-time marathon - Parent Dashboard shows today's usage and Mega Prize stats BUILT FOR YOUR FAMILY'S SAFETY Spottle is COPPA compliant and built with your child's safety as the top priority: - Designed for ages 4 to 13 - NO personal data collected from children - Photos are analyzed by AI then immediately discarded - NO ads, NO tracking, NO behavioral profiling - NO social features, NO chat - Sun-detection warns kids not to point at the sun - Indoor detection redirects kids back outside - Parent info stored only on this device PARENT FEATURES - Up to 4 child profiles per device - Age-appropriate content (4-6, 7-9, 10-13 brackets) - Spanish and English with one-tap switch - Mega Prize setup and tracking - Daily usage stats - Parental gate for grown-up settings Spottle is more than a game — it's a daily nudge to look up, get outside, and earn real-world rewards from the people who love you.

It uses your device's camera to identify shapes in clouds, awarding points and the chance to earn real prizes that parents set up. ### How does Spottle reward kids with prizes? Parents can set up real-world rewards, like a special treat or extra playtime, in the Parent Dashboard. The app randomly offers a chance to win these 'Mega Prizes' during gameplay, which are then redeemed offline. ### Can Spottle be played without an internet connection? Yes, Spottle features an 'Imagination Mode' that works offline. This mode allows children to play by matching hidden shapes before a timer runs out, ensuring continuous engagement even without clouds. ### How many cloud finds does Spottle offer daily? Each day, children receive a fresh batch of 50 cloud finds. Using the camera to analyze the sky counts as one find. The counter resets at midnight, and Imagination Mode offers unlimited play. ### Is Spottle safe for children? Spottle is COPPA compliant and built with child safety as a top priority. It collects no personal data from children, discards photos immediately after analysis, and has no ads, tracking, or social features. ### What is the age rating for Spottle? Spottle is designed for children aged 4 to 13.

Spottle was last updated on May 23, 2026, with version 1.5.1. This indicates a relatively recent update, suggesting ongoing development and support for the application. ## Version history (last 3 releases) ### 1.5.1 — 2026-05-23 Lots of polish in this update — clouds look more like real clouds, the reveal feels gentler, and the daily-finds counter now sticks the way it should. NEW CLOUD-SHAPE ARTWORK Every cloud illustration in the game has been redrawn. Each one is built from real cumulus puffs — the kind you'd actually see in the sky — so the shape emerges out of the cloud the way pareidolia really works. 18 new shapes added too, including a magical unicorn, a graceful swan, a rocket ship, a treasure chest, six more letters of the alphabet, and the numbers 1, 2 and 3. SLOWER, GENTLER REVEAL The cloud-shape now fades in slowly after the camera finishes scanning — your child has time to register the photo first, then the shape materialises out of the sky like a cloud forming. SMART HALO AGAINST REAL CLOUDS When your child's photo has real clouds in it, the painted cloud-shape gets a soft luminous halo so it stands out and stays findable. When the sky is clear blue, the halo is skipped — the shape pops against the blue on its own. DAILY FINDS COUNTER FIX The "X cloud finds left today" counter no longer resets every time the app reopens. Each child still gets a fresh batch every local morning. FRIENDLIER HOME SCREEN The blue cloud now reads "Look up at the sky! Let's find things!" Nancy greets you with "Are you ready to spottle? I wonder what we can find in the sky today." PRIVACY (UNCHANGED FROM 1.5) As of v1.5 your child's photos stay on the device. No photo is sent to any AI service. Only short kid-safe text strings go to ElevenLabs for Nancy's voice. The cloud-shape illustrations were pre-generated and bundled with the app. OTHER FIXES • Camera viewfinder no longer shows a thin blue strip on one edge. • Wrong taps no longer flash a "wrong!" card — Nancy just says a soft retry line and the cards stay tappable. • Halo around the photo card on first appearance is now correctly sized. Thanks for playing — and if you're enjoying Spottle, please consider rating us! ### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-13 Small parent-side improvements: - New: a friendly card in the Parent Dashboard asking you to rate Spottle when you've been enjoying it for a while. Tap "Maybe Later" if you'd rather not — we won't ask again for 60+ days. - Various performance and reliability improvements under the hood. Thanks for playing with us! Keep pointing those screens at the sky. ### 1.0 — 2026-05-07 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Spottle | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Robot Siege](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/robot-siege/id6782699761) | 5.0 (6) | Free | Games | | [Cheer Design by Fly Cheer Gear](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cheer-design-by-fly-cheer-gear/id6447063168) | 2.4 (50) | Free | Games | | [Dome Guardian](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dome-guardian/id6449187165) | 4.2 (560) | Free | Games | | [LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lego-marvel-super-heroes/id737006024) | 3.4 (3,570) | $4.99 | Games | | [Titan Quest HD](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/titan-quest-hd/id1424977227) | 4.4 (926) | $10.99 | Games | | [Big Buck Hunter: Marksman](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/big-buck-hunter-marksman/id1537460330) | 4.7 (12,632) | Free | Games | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
