A photo of your child's plush toy becomes the hero of the story. And your child learns, step by step, to read alone. Zaubergeschichten accompanies you from reading aloud to reading alone. You take a photo of the bunny, the teddy or your child's favorite figure, the app turns it into a character, and every story comes with its own pictures, in the language and at the reading level that suit your child. HOW IT WORKS β’ Take a photo of the plush toy and create a character β’ Tell us what the adventure should be about and the story appears with pictures β’ Read aloud or read together, as often as you like β’ Seefa the fox is with you from the start GROW WITH YOUR CHILD β’ Four reading levels: Read-aloud, Reading start, Practice reading and Fluent reading β’ You choose the level for each child profile, and it applies to new stories β’ In German, the reading start shows capital letters and syllables in blue and red β’ "I read aloud": while your child reads out loud, the app highlights the words they have read.

Mika Math
Read full descriptionHide full description
Mika Math was designed specifically for teenagers with dyscalculia. Quantities and numbers to 10 can still be a useful starting point in the teenage years. Small mathematical steps meet a calm, clear design without tying learning to a school year. The learning path connects concrete quantities, pictures and symbols. Difficulty adapts without countdowns, red crosses, failure sounds or reward collecting. A short beginning with three material steps makes it easy to get started. In the free number studio, learners place and remove counters, compare quantities and split a number between two bowls. The material responds immediately. Free exploration is not scored and does not change learning levels. The entry check and the complete Numbers to 10 module with all five stations and four levels are free. Read-aloud support, larger text, reduced motion, an extra-calm view, quantity layouts in pairs and every parent feature also remain free. Math+ includes addition and subtraction to 10, numbers to 20, numbers to 100 and all included everyday maths stations. Learners calculate amounts of money and change, read clocks, work out time intervals and solve tasks about temperature, calendar days, distances and recipe quantities. These exercises connect foundations with familiar everyday topics. Math+ is available as either a monthly subscription or a one-time purchase. The one-time purchase permanently unlocks all included Math+ areas, without renewal or an additional subscription. The monthly subscription renews automatically for one month at a time until you cancel renewal in the relevant storeβs subscription settings. The local price is shown before you subscribe. With a standard cancellation, Math+ remains accessible until the end of the period already paid for. The free area and locally stored learning progress remain afterwards. Confirmed Math+ one-time purchases remain valid and do not require an additional subscription. Purchase, restore and subscription management controls appear only in the protected Parent Area; the learning area contains no purchase prompts. A classic practice round contains ten tasks. Step-by-step hints provide support, while the learning overview in the Parent Area gives parents, school or learning support a factual summary. There is no account or advertising; learning progress stays locally on the device. For Math+, the relevant store and RevenueCat process purchase data. Purchase management is first activated after the Parent Area is opened and may then refresh purchase status automatically. Learning progress is not transferred. Mika Math supports learning. It does not replace assessment or specialist learning support. Privacy Policy: https://www.mika-autism.com/en/datenschutz.html Terms of Use (Apple Standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Additional practice rounds and an optional learning check: choose short rounds on numbers, clocks and time intervals, shopping and money, or quantities and measures. Calculation hints, pauses and focused follow-up practice support learning. The check only reports on the answers attempted; it does not award school grades or replace diagnostic assessment. Additional everyday topics are included in Math+. Optional reading uses an available device voice; all tasks remain usable without sound.
