MADE FOR KIDS WHO... - Are curious about clocks (ages 3–7, great school prep) - Keep asking "What time is it?" - Are struggling with telling time at school - Need to learn to read an analog clock SPIN THE HANDS! Just like a real clock, kids can spin the long and short hands with their finger. As the hands turn, the app reads the time out loud — so even pre-readers can learn by ear.
