Learn reading the clock and telling time according to the requirements of the Swiss education system: Make the Expression quiz and see how good you are. Start with the hours, then half hours, then quarter hours and finally the 5-minute graduation. Can you tell time from the analog clock without numbers? Select a more abstract clock face and try it out! FOR WHOM ? For kids who want to learn reading/ telling time with the analog clock quickly and safely, for school and for life. For adults who want to support children in learning to read/tell the time; For those who want to learn how to tell time in other languages. HOW DOES IT WORK? The TEAN analog clock learning app offers four distinct learning modes: 1) Read Clock Quiz In this quiz you see random time on an analog clock and you need to tap on the one digital clock out of 4, which shows the same time. Here you learn to read the time shown by the analog clock. The clock face, the hour mode and the response speed are selectable. 2) Tell Time Quiz In this quiz you see random time on an analog clock and you need to tap on the one analog time expression out of 3, which shows the same time. Here you learn how to correctly "tell time" in words. The clock face, the hour mode and the response speed are selectable. 3) 24h Quiz In this quiz you see random time on a novel 24 hour analog clock and you need to tap on the one digital clock out of 4 which shows the same time. Here you learn how the morning hours 0-11 (AM) and the afternoon hours 12-23 (PM) are shown on the analog clock. The hour mode and the response speed are selectable. In all 3 quiz modes you answer 10 questions and you can observe your results in green or red on the result bar on the top of the screen. Once the quiz completed, depending on your settings and results, you see which step we recommend you to do next. 4) Free Exercise This mode has no time constraint. You can simply set the analog clock to random times by tapping on it or on the button below and then try to read it and tell the time shown. Then you can verify if your "telling" is correct. A special assistance helps you to decide if the shown time is "past" or "to" the hour. The clock face and the hour mode are selectable and the assistance can be turned on or off.

From pictures to words. pictos. builds step-by-step sequences for children who need to know what happens now and what comes next: with pictograms or your own photos, the real toothbrush, the school door. A sequence takes a few minutes to set up, and the schedule shows it one step at a time. VISUAL SCHEDULE - "Step by step": the whole plan as one list that scrolls. The current step large, what is done quietly above, what comes next below. Scrolling only looks; it never ticks off or skips anything. - "First, then": the current step and the next one, both large, for children who need it that way. The rest stays in view below. - "New": every plan on a grid of large cards. Each plan always starts at the first step, never halfway, and it can be undone. - Tap a picture and the app reads it aloud. - Mark each step as done, with calm feedback: no sudden sounds, no distracting animations. - A visual timer per step: a disc that empties, with no ticking. - Three example plans (morning, school, evening) to start with, and as many of your own as you need. FOR ADULTS - Build and reorder steps in a few minutes: find the pictogram by keyword or take a photo. - Use photos from home: the real toothbrush, the school door. Each step carries the word you type. - Choose the picture set: ARASAAC pictograms, Mulberry symbols or your own photos. Switching sets never changes a plan. - The adult area sits behind a 3-second press and hold. - With Apple Intelligence you can type the routine the way you'd say it and the app suggests the steps; the pictogram is always picked by a keyword search, and you check everything. - Share a plan by WhatsApp or email as a link: on the other iPhone it opens in pictos., shows a preview first and is only added once confirmed. With your own photos, as a file. PRACTISE AT HOME (EXTRA) Cards for practising at home what your speech specialist works on: picture, word, and the word spoken aloud. By default the adult rates each attempt. As a trial, the app can also listen on the device itself; it only says "Well done!" when it is sure, and otherwise asks "Once more!". It never tells a child something was wrong. The practice words are currently Spanish. PRIVACY Free, no accounts, no ads, no purchases, no internet: it works in airplane mode. Plans, photos and history stay on your device; the privacy label says "Data Not Collected". Speech is recognised on the device and never stored. pictos. supports everyday routines and practice at home; it does not replace any professional. Autor pictográfico: Sergio Palao.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: pictos. at none against TEAN's 1. TEAN's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
