Say goodbye to homework battles at 11pm, endless negotiations and lessons recited through tears. With Baobab, your child revises independently, a few minutes a day, and comes back for more. THEY SCAN, THEIR REVISION IS READY Your child snaps a photo of their lesson: Baobab automatically turns it into a clear revision sheet, flashcards and personalised quizzes. No generic content: it's exactly what the teacher taught, with the same definitions, the same words, the same format. They walk into the test prepared for what will actually come up. THE TEST BEFORE THE TEST Interactive quizzes with progressive difficulty to check their knowledge, see their results and try again as many times as it takes. On test day, they're ready, and they know it. INTERROBAO, THE ORAL QUIZ Our AI quizzes your child out loud with open questions, just like a teacher would. To answer, they need to truly understand the lesson, and that's how it sticks for good. It's you, but better… and you get your evening back. THEY REVISE, AND LOVE IT Babz to earn, cards to collect, challenges with friends: Baobab turns revision into a game. The result: your child is the one asking to revise. Yes, really. KEEP AN EYE ON THINGS, WITHOUT HOVERING From the parent dashboard, follow their progress in real time: what's mastered, what still needs work. Send them a challenge. You can finally say "go revise" knowing the work is actually getting done. WHAT PARENTS SAY "My son started doing his homework on his own, it's unbelievable." "He treats it like a game, he absolutely loves it." "You got a child who'd given up back to work." CONFIDENCE, BUILT DAY BY DAY Short sessions, a positive tone, progressive difficulty: every child moves at their own pace, racks up wins and walks into tests feeling calm. ONE SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY A single subscription covers up to 3 children, from primary through secondary school. And the first 7 days are free: plenty of time to watch your child get hooked before you decide. EVERY SUBJECT, EVEN MUSIC History, geography, maths, science, physics, chemistry, languages… it's all there! (Well, except music theory, sorry Mozart!) Download Baobab and try it free for 7 days. Homework without the battles changes your evenings. Link to Apple's Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
