Quality screen time you do not have to feel guilty about. Kids Science Explorer hands a curious child thirteen worlds of real science, from the solar system to dinosaurs to the human body. Every page is read aloud, so a child who cannot read yet can explore the whole app on their own. Built for ages 4 to 12, and every word of it works with no wifi. THIRTEEN WORLDS TO EXPLORE Space and planets, the night sky, planet Earth, nature, dinosaurs, the human body, water, fire, energy, gravity, motion and machines, chemistry, and a home lab. TEN GAMES THEY ACTUALLY LEARN FROM Drag the planets into orbit around the Sun. Build a body organ by organ. Work out whether a dinosaur ate meat or plants, then feed it. Connect real stars into real constellations. Every game teaches something true, instead of handing out points for tapping. TWELVE EXPERIMENTS FOR THE KITCHEN TABLE Simple experiments using things already in your cupboards, written in clear steps to do together with a grown up. This is the part children still remember years later. IT GROWS WITH YOUR CHILD Three reading levels, so a four year old and an eleven year old meet the same topic at the right depth. Nine languages are built in, including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Japanese and Hindi, each with a friendly voice reading every page. MADE FOR THE CAR, THE PLANE AND THE WAITING ROOM Fully offline. Nothing to download, nothing to buffer, nothing that stops working when the signal drops. SAFE BY DESIGN No ads. No data collection. No chat and no strangers. No links leading out to the open internet. Nothing is gathered about your child, because nothing ever leaves the device. REAL SCIENCE, CHECKED Written for children without being dumbed down. The planets are drawn to real relative scale, the star map is astronomically correct, and the dinosaurs eat what the fossil record says they ate. One subscription covers the whole family through Family Sharing, on every device signed in to your Apple Account. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in Settings.
