### 5/5 — Excellent Dad assist

*2025-11-05*

Very helpful tool to assist me in parenting 3 kids across different ages. Kids want to be heard and connected with at their level. Tuko helps with this.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing this! It’s great to hear Tuko’s helping you connect with your kids. Really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! 👍

### 5/5 — DAD OF THE YEAR

*2025-10-23*

There are moments as a Dad where you really want engage with your kids beyond the classic questions of “how are you?” Or “what did you do at school today?” This app can take you to “infinity and beyond” when it comes to fun, real and authentic conversations with your kids.  We use it while eating dinner together and it has made for many many rich night! Love this app.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for this! Love hearing that Tuko’s helping you get beyond the usual questions and into those more meaningful conversations. Really appreciate you taking the time to share this!

### 5/5 — I love this app!! 🔥

*2025-10-23*

Wow!! This app is awesome!! I have absolutely loved the conversations that it has sparked with my kids!! It is both super fun and at the same time helps you to get to know them on the level of the heart! We’ve pulled it out when we’re on long drives and instead of just giving the kids a phone or tablet to distract them, we’ve ended up redeeming the time and having such a great bonding experience. And the kids love it too!! I highly recommend giving it a try!!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind words! It’s great to hear Tuko’s sparking those deeper conversations with your kids, especially on those long drives!

### 5/5 — Legendary for Dads

*2025-10-22*

Not sure how they’ve come up with these questions but it took one game to get my 10 and 11 year olds hooked. Never seen them so engaged in convos. Def recommend for convos on long journeys / bed time / dinner tables

**Developer response:** This is brilliant! Love hearing that your kids got hooked straight away. It’s really encouraging to know Tuko’s working well for you all. Thanks so much for the recommendation!

### 5/5 — The app that reconnects ❤️

*2025-10-16*

It’s amazing how one little app can make a big difference. Although Tuko was made for dads, it’s really great for the whole family. As a full-time working Mumma, I’ve found it to be exactly what I needed. Tuko has been an amazing tool to help me disconnect from the work day and switch into mum mode. It helps me reconnect, slow down and feel present with my family

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for sharing this! It's really encouraging to hear how Tuko's helping you make that shift from work mode to being present with your family. That's exactly what we hoped it would do. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!

### 5/5 — Mum here…

*2025-10-16*

So far so good… tried it out for the first time yesterday over the dinner table (which we neglect all too often). It worked! We actually held a bit of a conversation that was fun and had subtle depth for about 10 mins. 

Baby steps, I’ll re-review in a week. As a mum of 2 young teenagers, I’m impressed this idea worked so quickly. Easiest app ever!

**Developer response:** This is brilliant! Love hearing that you dove straight in and had such a great conversation. Thanks for giving Tuko a go, and we'd love to hear how it has been working out after that first week's review!

### 5/5 — Dads/ husbands need this app

*2025-10-16*

Tuko can be played with your significant other too! My wife and I found it a wholesome and fun game to play together. Can’t recommend it enough for dads.

**Developer response:** Ha! Love this. Thanks for the recommendation, mate. It's great to know Tuko's working well for you and your wife. Really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review!

### 5/5 — My Kids love Tuko time

*2025-10-15*

I have been reaching for this app again and again. It’s a real sanity saver. I honestly love it and so do all my kids. They keep asking to play Tuko. 🙌 (my wife uses it too) 🫣

**Developer response:** This is awesome to hear! It's great that the whole family's enjoying it. Really appreciate you sharing this!

### 5/5 — I had the best conversations

*2025-10-15*

Whenever I’m just chilling with my lad I open the app and ask the first question I see. So far every answer has either made us laugh or help us get to know each other better. Simple but effective. 5⭐️

**Developer response:** Simple but effective is exactly what we were going for. Thanks so much for the kind words, and keep enjoying those conversations!

### 5/5 — Easiest way to connect with my kids!

*2025-10-14*

Tuko has been super fun to play with my boys. Perfect for when you get home and they want your attention but you lack the energy to get creative. Tuko to the rescue! Best part is that a few questions in, I start picking up their energy and it’s really fun! Deeper questions are great for getting to know them more!! Best value app on my phone. Love how technology can build value into real life!!

**Developer response:** This is so great to hear! Love that Tuko's helping you connect with your boys, especially when you're running low on energy. It's brilliant that the questions are sparking that energy in both of you. Thanks so much for sharing this and for the kind words!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.1.2 — 2026-05-06

Squashed a few bugs and smoothed out some rough edges. Nothing dramatic, just a better experience under the hood.

### 2.1.1 — 2026-05-04

Eight new articles to dig into, all with beautiful new artwork. Behind-the-scenes improvements make Tuko's conversation suggestions even more responsive to your family's style, plus small fixes throughout for a smoother, more reliable experience.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-03-27

This update refreshes the way Tuko displays questions. Cards now feature animated gradients that shift as you move between questions, and text is left-aligned for a more natural reading experience.

### 2.0.2 — 2026-03-24

We found some bugs, so squashed them for you.

### 2.0.1 — 2026-03-22

Ever wonder how your family conversations are actually evolving? The new Insights tab tracks your weekly streak, total conversations, time spent talking, and which categories you explore most, so you can see depth growing in real time. And this is just the start, insights will keep getting deeper as new features roll in.

We've also simplified Settings, refreshed every sheet with richer dark backgrounds and category-aware colour tinting, and improved contrast and readability throughout. Swipe to delete saved questions, plus a good handful of bug fixes under the hood.

Same Tuko, but looks and feels even better.

P.S. These features were supposed to be in 2.0. They were finished. But I just... shipped the wrong version. Let's not talk about it :)
