Why?! vs Times Table Star

Why?! is the safe digital knowledge companion for children aged 4 to 16. With a lovingly animated animal character as their guide, your children can ask all their questions – anything that comes to mind. The app grows with your child and automatically adapts answers to their respective age. The App That Grows With Your Child From preschool to adolescence, Why?! accompanies your children on their journey of discovery. Younger ones can simply ask their questions by voice – even if they can't read yet. As soon as your child starts learning to read, text is additionally displayed. For older children from about 10 years old, the app offers a complete chat interface as a safe alternative to uncontrolled AI tools. This way, your children get exactly the support they need at their respective developmental stage. Playful Learning With the Bottles & Glasses System Children learn not only knowledge, but also conscious resource management. Each week they receive a "knowledge bottle" that they can distribute over seven days. This makes the abstract use of AI tangible and playfully teaches that resources are valuable. A lovingly animated fox accompanies every interaction and makes learning a joyful experience. Does the learning companion become a friend? No. Why?! transparently teaches children that it's an AI – a learning tool without feelings. This honesty promotes a healthy relationship with technology. Real friendships are formed with people. Perfectly Designed for Families You can create up to five child profiles and make individual settings for each child. The app shows you which topics particularly interest your children – without seeing the conversations themselves. You get valuable insights and conversation starters while your children's privacy remains protected. This relieves you from the many "Why?" questions of daily life while giving you the assurance that your children are safely interacting with AI. Security You Can Rely On Full control remains with you: You decide which of the 15 topic areas may be discussed. The adult area is PIN-protected, so only you can change the settings. This way you can be sure that your children are learning in a protected environment. Privacy is not an option for Why?!, but a standard. We minimize data storage to the essentials, use European servers, and comply with COPPA and GDPR guidelines for children’s applications. Flexible Subscriptions for Every Family Test Why?! in the first month at a heavily discounted price and then decide which subscription fits your family. The monthly or annual subscriptions are tiered by number of children – from one to five children. Why?! turns childhood curiosity into a safe learning experience – developed by parents for parents.

Times Table Star turns multiplication, division and missing numbers into something children actually want to do: looking after a pet that only grows because they learn. Free to download, and the whole times tables ladder is free forever. CHOOSE YOUR PET Pick an egg and hatch it by answering your first questions. Stella the star, Mochi the kitten, Lumi the axolotl, Suki the Siamese, Biscuit the puppy, Pip the owl, Pickle the tortoise, Ember the dragon, Coco the capybara, Clover the rabbit and Rusty the fox are all waiting inside. Name yours, and it is yours for good. MATHS MAKES THEM GROW Every quiz you finish makes your pet cleverer. Watch it grow from a wobbly Baby to a Kid, a Whizz in little round glasses and a Genius in a graduation cap, and then keep going: Scholar, Professor, Sage, Legend and Star of Numbers. Only practice can do that, so the maths never feels like a chore. THREE THINGS TO PRACTISE Times Tables, Division and Missing Number, each with its own five levels, its own best scores and its own trophy. Speed based scoring so quick thinking pays off. Three hearts to soften mistakes. Mastery stars for beating 500, 750 and 900. A daily challenge with fresh questions each morning, an endless mode for experts, and quiet extra practice of the facts your child finds hard. LOOK AFTER THEM Carry an apple to your pet's mouth and watch it munch. Scrub it with a sponge until it sparkles. Open the toy box and pick something to play with. Tickle its tummy for a giggle. Tuck it into bed at night. If it gets the sniffles, a warm drink puts it right. TRICKS THEY EARN Sit, Spin, High Five, Roll, Take a Bow, Dance. Each one unlocks at a point on your pet's own progress, so practice is the only way to get them, and once learned they are yours to ask for whenever you like. RACE A FRIEND Two devices side by side, the same ten questions, and the faster correct answer wins. No internet, no accounts, no names sent between them. Free for everyone. A PLAYGROUND OF THEIR OWN Your pets share a playroom with a climbing frame, a ball pit and a seesaw built to their size. Look in and watch them potter about, keep their own hours and make friends with each other. KEEP COMING BACK Days together that only ever go up, a sticker book with collectable characters, best score boards, and trophies for finishing the hardest level of every subject. MADE FOR FAMILIES Five themes with their own colours, fonts and worlds, from Candy Pop to a Galaxy cabin. Separate profiles so brothers and sisters each keep their own pets and progress. Backs up to iCloud automatically. A big, chunky number pad built for small fingers. WHAT IS FREE Your pet, all five times tables levels, all four growth stages, every mood, all six tricks, feeding, washing, playing, patting and the daily report of what your pet got up to while you were away. That stays free. THE EVERYTHING UNLOCK One payment, yours forever, no subscription. It adds the other ten pets and the Playground they share, Division and Missing Number, ten more rooms with seasonal and birthday decorations, and the rest of the toy box. IF YOU BOUGHT TIMES TABLE STAR BEFORE You keep everything, on every device, forever, and you will never be asked to pay again. The app works it out for itself the first time you open this version. Nothing has been taken away. FOR PARENTS No adverts. No accounts, no tracking, and no data collection: everything stays on the device and in your own iCloud. A parent panel shows what your child is working on and what they have cracked, taken from their own practice. An optional AI companion feature lets an older pet chat aloud with your child. It is switched off by default, sits behind a parental gate, and only works if you add your own AI provider key, so conversations run on your account. You can read or erase everything your pet remembers at any time. Learning times tables is a slog. Raising a pet is not. Times Table Star is the second one, powered entirely by the first.
