Brushed teeth. A little reading. Toys put away. Small steps deserve a happy little celebration. Shiya helps parents and children build everyday routines, save points, and work towards rewards they choose together. There is room for the little memories, too. A PIGGY BANK FULL OF PROGRESS Points earned through habits go into your child's own little bank. Choose from 12 zodiac animal companions that blink, smile, and react when the balance changes. Give each child a favourite buddy and see where their points came from and went. Parents can also record gift money in CNY and convert it to points at a family-set rate. The app records points; actual money stays with the parent. SMALL HABITS, ONE DAY AT A TIME Set up reading, brushing teeth, tidying toys, outdoor play, and other little routines. Choose their frequency and point value, then check them off together. Follow daily progress, revisit check-ins, and use reminders and timers for everyday plans. REWARDS YOU CHOOSE, PROMISES YOU KEEP A new picture book. A family picnic. An afternoon playing a board game. Add rewards and decide how many points they need. Your child can see a wish getting closer. Parents arrange and fulfil the rewards; points help keep track of the family agreement. KEEP A LITTLE MOMENT Save a few words, a photo, or a voice note. Moments and family stories live in one place, so you can keep a funny little quote now and turn it into a story when you feel like it. Listen to your family stories with playback speed, a queue, and a sleep timer. KEEP LISTENING AS YOU GO Move between tabs while a story plays. The mini player keeps pause, resume, and the full player close at hand. GROW TOGETHER Keep separate records for each child and share your family's routines, rewards, and moments with family members. Explore Habits first, then sign in when you want family syncing. Some story creation and listening features require Shiya membership or seeds. See the app for current access details and pricing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HapiEnglish at none against Shiya's 2. HapiEnglish also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Shiya's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 24 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
